im certainly older that nine, infact i wish i could go back to be nine, although then fools like you would call me a glory hunter ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/cj7bsBj2jOTuEAUVaPt5.gif) we dont know the actual cash figures though do we! Yeah we do, the club released a statement earlier this year. We spent just over 20m per year on transfers and increased wages by over 10m per year. Transfers alone account for close to 50m when you include the KJ fee.

i doubt it, show me the said statement Are you some kind of retard mate? Soccerbase has us at £49.25million for the past 4 seasons including KJ. That doesn't include non disclosed fees. Then there are wages. Come on lad.

i doubt it, show me the said statement Look for it yourself. I know what im talking about. Just add up what we've spent on players since we got promoted. Tunny, Ethers, Huth, Sonko, Soares, Tonge, Arismendi, Begovic, Collins, Kitson, Beattie, Whitehead, Olofinjana, Sorro....

Yes the midfield isn't good enough and yes he's wasted some money but FFS we are in the premier league for the 3rd season and we have just lost our opening game so lets get in the real world.

I know that and it's a great achievement I have never denied it. The real world of football is played through midfield. One of the poorest in the division DOMINATED ours today. We should be concerned.

Do you think he will address it though Serge? History suggests he won't. This talk of Kovac is worrying as well. IMO he's no better than what we have.

My head tells me no but his interview today after the match gave me hope when he said twice we need goals so here's hoping.I don't know enough about Kovac to make a judgement on him but he doesn't sound the most creative does he.

From what I have seen he is no better than W'head. WHU fans can't wait to see the back of him today on the radio. Another £3million wasted probably

Why trust WHU supporters Pugsley? Apart from Ryan Shawcross, every departing Stoke player would be slated on here. Does that mean they are all shite???

Either slit your wrists and be gone, or accept that Pulis wont change, and we wont go down.
Losers.

Pugsley is right, people on here don't like the truth. Pulis has wasted millions on absolute shite. Loads on here blame a semi-fit Whelan but fail to mention the usual non-contribution from our £5M box-to-box superstar Dean 'never touches the ball' Whitehead. Remarkable stuff.

Every manager wastes money with a dodgy buy from time to time,but we do need urgently to improve midfield and the full-backs. We have potentially one of the best centre-back pairings in the division with Huth and Shawcross and Pulis will not play them together simply because he does not trust Wilkinson enough and cannot find a good enough right back to join us.

Centre halves at fullback. Hoofing play, Midfielders that cant put 3 passes together. Delap wide right. Yes i know how well Pulis has done but were not evolving in my view. Every team outplays us even shit like Wolves. Were ugly as fuck and unexciting. It doesnt have to be like this but Pulis is a hypocrite with his selection and sqyare pegs in roung holes. I actually agree with you to a point, I don't think Pulis should leave under any circumstances but his tactics can get quite frustrating. We do appear to becoming a little stagnant while everyone around us is expanding and becoming more offensive I think we may need a bit of a patch up and some new tactics or we'll find ourselves in a relegation battle. The defeat today was shit I don't think anyone will contest that but it is early days and he's done the business so far give him time to adapt. He's already shown signs of forward movement with the signing of KJ and it wasn't his fault he went off injured, it's no good getting on his back be patient and we'll cross our fingers and see how the rest of the window goes. As I've said before my prediction is another 2-3 signings in the last week and I think I know what Pulis is thinking, I did say a few weeks ago that our first big signing would come this week just gone and that materialised so have faith. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif)

Fergie, Wenger, Benitez, Mourinho, Scolari, Ancelotti, Mancini, Bruce, Moyes, Allardyce, (IN FACT EVERY MANAGER) has 'wasted' money.
Its a money league.
