It's a bit ridiculous for us as fans to talk about value for a business as we are only interested in what's running around the pitch and if they are worth the money we have spent watching them. Going on this Net spent method does that mean Andy Carroll only cost us minus 15 million quid because we already received 50 million for Torres, did Newcastle actually give us Carroll And 15 million pound for the deal then haha.


People bang on about NET spend as it's something they can use to beat the owners with. As we had a negative NET spend for the summer, the owners obviously didn't back the manager blah, blah.

I agree that it should be more abut what is spent and on who rather than NET spend. Our NET was only so low as we got rid of a lot of dead wood that had been hanging around for too many years. I expect we'll get the same this summer too.


Net spend in our case is important as there should have been or be money available in this window.

We bought Coutinho for 12m and Suarez for 25m in Jan, it's the manager's and his scouts job to get players (this is what they are paid to do) and I could just put G's list here, which will mean nothing.


But what about players that are available now? I'm just asking as you seem certain that our £40m this month could strengthen the squad so you must have someone in mind? If not, why not trust the manager knows what he's doing?


One player I am sure would have improved our squad is Payet and he is going for 25m I think. Marseille who are nowhere near us in terms of financial capacity are going for him.

So a guy that is desperate to return to France for family reasons and has downed tools in an attempt to force this move through? Under no circumstances would I want a player at LFC like that!

Payet refused massive offers from China ,he is going back to Marseille for family reasons, no amount of money would have tempted him to join.

I agree plus the fact Payet is regarded as a top player he could have the choice of quite a few top clubs why would he want to leave West Ham for another mid table Premier League Club.

It's where he was before West Ham, think I read his wife wanted to move back there.

What Chris said. And just because he's not from Marseille doesn't mean he's not going for family reasons.

There are always reasons why a player moves, family, wages, bigger club, more opportunities, manager, club wanting to cash in etc. The point was whether there is better quality than our squad available on the market and the answer is definitely yes. Schneiderlin IMO is a better central midfielder than Can and I have mentioned only 2 players I have seen playing in the EPL alone, there are tens of other players in the world that would improve our squad, but I don't watch that much to know who.

We have scouts, a director of football and a manager whose jobs are to find those players instead of finding excuses. Anyway, they have opted not to reinforce for whatever reasons and no way I will condone this unless as some said, FSG is not providing the funds, but I have seen no proof of that. It is simple to me, they are not doing their job correctly. I cannot be happy with that even if others find it ok, I don't.
