Bristol City have signed Angers SCO forward Famara Diédhiou for a club record fee of £5.3m.
----
It sort of puts into perspective the way our transfers are dealt with when a club that's in the championship is willing to splash out 5.3m on a player but we as an established premier league club balk at paying that much

I don't think we ball at 5 mill shaq, imbula, crouch, palacios, kitson etc are proof we're willing to splash the cash sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Good luck to Bristol though the money in the championship has trebled since we were there.

We splash out on one player but we neglect to spend even a fraction of that fee on other areas which brings down the whole quality of the squad |

It is staggering.
Tone took us to the promised land with a record transfer fee paid of £1.2m for Leon Cort.
Sometimes having a plan and enforcing it is just as effective as shelling out wheel barrows full of bank notes.

Yes I believe we do, as I've said in a previous post every transfer window we hear about how we won't be extorted and such over fees but then it ends up being a few million short of what they go for and then we talk about how we're disappointed to miss out on targets and now look at the state of the squad |

They recently sold Kodjia for £11m, so they are just spending that.

We are apparently "very dissappointed" to have missed out on Harry Maguire, we missed out on Redmond didn't we because we wouldn't pay what they were asking even though he was keen to come to us? I'm sure I could find more if I went back through the past 4 years of transfer articles |

So?
Wolves spent £13m on one player last season and where did it get them?
Transfer fees and wages have gone crazy but I'm not getting your point

I'm sure I could find more if I went back through the past 4 years of transfer articles Missing out on Maguire might be nothing to do with us not willing to pay enough, as for Redmond I don't remember any articles saying that we weren't willing to pay the asking price. I would have gone to Saints if I was him too. |

Another case in point, this Josh Tymon deal we seem to have been haggling with Hull for the best part of a month I wonder if he will actually become a Stoke player or end up somewhere else? The BMI deal is self-explanatory and less of an issue about spend but ineptitude, should have had the 8 million fee tied down when he stepped foot in the stadium but we didn't and now it looks like we'll try and haggle a fee with Porto and lose out

Bristol City have spent big money for years, going back to their own days with Vinegar Tits.
They've achieved nothing.

Exactly what evidence do you have that brought to you that totally fucking daft conclusion? Just needless dirt about club time and time again. |

thankfully we have intelligent people running our club and making decisions re players fees and wages. they will never get this 100% right but they seem to have a decent success rate. knicker wetting posters have taken over this mb. i wonder how many of them are s/t holders?

Sometimes having a plan and enforcing it is just as effective as shelling out wheel barrows full of bank notes. He might not have spent big on transfer fees but the agents fees and loan fees more than made up for that. Its an absolute myth he got us promoted on a shoestring. |

I think the Imbula fee, and subsequent lack of value-for-money, has shit-scared us, myself.
I have no facts to back this up, but I sense that we are being very cautious, which will be an issue if we're competing with other clubs for players.

Wages are the key, not transfer fees.
You only have to look at the league table against the amount clubs pay on wages, it's virtually a mirror image.

A lot of Championship clubs are spending big. |
