why are you guys so caught up on the carroll price? because its something the media can throw back in our faces if he isnt incredible? fck 'em, we brought one of the brightest lights in english football, why not concentrate on that? I guess it would have been ok if a striker was all that we needed but the team needs rebuilding with quality players needed in so many other departments. The again, Henry may have 100 million stashed away somewhere, who knows.

And you're not happy that we've largely dealt with the problem at striker instead of still needing to find a replacement for Torres in addition to all the other positional problems? You're not happy that we've set ourselves the target of building a squad around the raw potential of Carroll and Suarez instead of remaining in no-man's land with a squad so bereft of quality that it no longer knows its strengths and weaknesses? That 35m came with intent, a line drawn in the sand that marks we're not prepared to continue to go backwards, a line that extends from the very top of this club all the way down. Isn't that line alone rare enough for this football club that it's worth the 35m?

I don't think the 35 million proves anything. If he had kept 2 million of the torres sale back there would be quite rightly uproar from the fans. I am happy with what they have done so far however. As it stands they havent spent diddly. It remains for the summer to see if they are progressive or not. I am not saying that nesv are anything like shitface and gillette but lets not stand round applauding them when they havent done anything other than talk a good game

The fact they've spent 55 million and replaced Hodgson with Kenny is a good signal of intent. These guys cant win and some of you need to choose a different hobby. Coming on here and moaning about practically every and anything. Bloody disgracefull upon times. I really hate the modern day football fan.

If someones moaning about the owners then that is questionable as they are a breath of fresh air. I say I am reserving judgement on them however as they have spent a grand total of 0 on new players. If we are going to talk about net that is how much they have spent on players. I think they will spend in the summer

They've addressed the situation of our lack of forwards at the club. Regardless of net spend or not I'm grateful for that.
