Spending spree over at Molineux?

I understand the reason supporters wanting more as it feels like we have'nt spent anything in the summer due to the players who came in,not being picked to play,injured or homesick!.

If you wonder what word has been asterisked out, it is a pet name for a cat, which I used to define a person with no backbone ... not as the offical censor implies!

Maybe if you had slipped it in as pusscat? I'm just testing the 'moderater' with that one. Then again it would have lost it's punch because ****** springs to mind aswell as spineless snivelling little *****.

I think a lot depends on what happens this May,if we stay up, questions about the 18 million summer signings will probably be swept under the carpet.If it goes badly for us I think the question will be asked as to why all these players have played no part or a very small part in our season?.Looking at what they are asking for Ohara,5 million,that nearly four very good players we should have but dont!.Finally we allegedly got our money back for JVD,what sort of money I wander will we re-coup on the rest?very little I suspect and we will probably find out not long after the 22nd May.

I was just having a think about this, and all the talk coming from the club, ruling out another hefty investment (in the event of staying up) can be seen as sensible looking back on the years where clubs milked our established wealth- farming out tired old cattle to graze over a final big pay check. We are hardly Manchester City, but established ourselves amongst the top four spenders last year the club may be a little cautious stamping their feet insisting the (team) investment will continue. It has to. Where do you draw the line between protecting yourself from inflated trnasfer demands and being honest with the fans, those in particular who are working out whether they can or want to splash out on season tickets. In the name of give and take you are not going to keep throwing larger sums of more at something if you do not feel you are reaping some form of reward. Granted, the players signed last summer have barely worked out, the good news is that the club were prepared to invest and at a signifcant cost. I do worry that what we recoup from sales may determine to some extent how much will be made available but those signings and the ramifications on the money he reeives, are issues Mick will deal with. If his business sense comes into play then it would be understandable if he played by these rules, but if he has given the green light to the development plan at a time when our situation was looking a lot worse than it does right now, I think he showed a great deal of faith in his manager the day he pressed the green button, I think he will make for a calculated gamble and throw some more money on the table. Let's face it, we are going to lose money on players; Fletcher for example, drawing on an article earlier in the week- I think he is a great asset to the club and hope he is given the chance to play a big part in our future, but even if Mick decided to sell him this summer I don't even think we would get back for Fletcher what we paid for him, so Mouyokolo and the like- I can't judge his ability based on the twelves minutes or so I have seen of him, but I would not even pay a million for him if I could dig out my Championship manager copy- so who will buy him? As Crete suggests, the euphoria and relief of a second survival, it does still irk to have to write in such terms, but it is what it is, then transfer losses will be the last thing on peoples mind; when it comes to moaning about a lack of investment, it would serve them well to read of the article and comments and, as they say, 'do the math.'
