I don't know If anyone has realised, but Sparky has bought in half a team for around the same price that TP bought in KJ and less than he did for Crouchy. I believe that we paid £2.5 mill for Arnie, £3.5 mill for Erik, an undisclosed fee for Ireland (cannot be more than £2 mill IMO), a nominal for Teix, a swap between KJ and Ode and the rest have been on freebies. Overall, Sparky has spent maybe £8.5 mill max, Whereas TP spunked that on KJ, Palacios and Crouchy individually. Im impressed with Sparkys transfer policy...

But how I would love a big 'rock the city' signing still  |

Ireland would have been a freebie as well I reckon. Certainly not 2million.

MH has made some very shrewd signings conpared to the previous manager.

Nah, nobody had worked that out - well done! To be fair - we don't know what has been paid out in signing on fees for the Bosman signings - as Scholes and Coates have made a point of pointing out - there is no such thing as a "free" transfer. |

We need at least another good winger for next season and I can see that WBA are in for Moses! He is a decent player and still young as well, think he would be an excellent loan signing for us! |
