Seems a sensible and balanced policy. We do need a mixture at the right price. An experienced player with no resale value is ok as long as you don't spend a fortune for him and see the cost as spread over 2 or 3 seasons.

Not really a U-turn. Just clarifying that we are to be pragmatic and sensible in our transfer policy.

It was never going to be a restriction and the budget was never going to be slashed. Basically if the right player comes along we will spend but essentially we want to be smarter and more efficient.

An experienced player with no resale value is ok as long as you don't spend a fortune for him and see the cost as spread over 2 or 3 seasons. "the cost spread over 2 or 3 seasons"......you mean like Peter Crouch? Even a player like Darren Bent will cost several million pounds and that's a discounted price too! Alternatively, you could buy a young star watched by several 'Prem' clubs and then signs for a small fortune...........just like Conor Wickham? Who would rather you would have signed? Crouch, a regular in the team, who according to ESPN had the highest goals plus assists or Conor Wickham who hardly got a game for Sunderland? Experience usually means age unless a player breaks into the first team at a very early age but then that player will cost a great deal of money. About the only good deals are 'frees' but then the player asks either for a signing on fee and/or very high wages. However you cut this, "Prem' football is a very expensive business and 'the family' has to understand this. |

Was thinking more of the Bendtner for £3m than Crouch who was over priced which is why I included a proviso about value for money. We need the likes of Delap or Higgy to get the attitude of young players right. Other clubs get the balance right and I see no reason why we shouldn't. |

It's only a U-turn to those that read things into Pulis's interview that wasn't there.
It was never gonna be a no budget, no over 25's policy. Just a gentle ease away from the stray dogs home approach we've taken with many expensive players recently.

Bendtner will deffo get the attitude of the young players right! How many seasons in a row did he win 'The Gooners Asshole of The Year Award'? |

I was talking in terms of price and value. I agree that some two year olds could teach Bendtner!

Hopefully never £10M+ for a 30-year-old player again anyway!

It would be illogical to suggest a lack of funds being allocated to transfers given the windfall we have received from Sky. However because of that windfall clubs will be asking stupid prices and players stupid wages so I guess the Cartwright control measure is invaluable for Coates plans and the scouting network will be tasked with finding the value

Coates knows that Hughes has made great use of free transfers in the past. To be fair, Hughes is very resourceful in the transfer market. Smart moves are afoot!

Is there not a loan market? We seem to buy everybody instead of loaning them to see if they settle in

It's much more efficient to spend on wages than transfer fees. 75-80% of league position determined by wage bill. |
