It has come to my attention that our recent transfer dealings show how bad our financial problems are. Yossi Benayoun has gone for a measly £5.5m. I belive Chelsea offered this and Purslow immediately accepted in order to pay off a tiny chunk off the debt further suggesting that Hodgson has no money to spend. Now, Emiliano Insua has gone for a measly £5m. Again, Fiorentina have offered this initially and Purslow has accepted first offers. Imo, we could have got alot more money out of them but instead we seem to be off-loading good players cheaply which gives Hodgson less money to spend and less quality in the squad. Plus, we could have got more money out of them especially in the market we are in. Average players are being sold for rediculous amounts of money. Yaya Toure is not worth £25m, James Milner is not worth £30m and Edin Dzeko is not worth £35m. Imo, they're good players but if they're going to be sold for that amount, Benayoun will be worth at least £15m considering his good performances over last 3 season and his 3 years remaining on his contract. I believe our financial situation is much worse than we fear as this scenario is similar to what happened to Leeds. Leeds had to sell young, quality players for even measlier sums of money. Quality players such as Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Nigel Martyn, Paul Robinson, Scott Carson (to us so I aint complaining) and Harry Kewell were all sold for fees well below their valuation just to pay off their debt and we all know what happened next. We're turning into this and the fact we're selling our players for fees way below their valuation makes us worry that what happens if Chelsea or Man City come up with a £30m bid for Torres, that slimeball Purslow with his current reputation will just accept these disgraceful offers to pay off the debt which will give him a nice, fat pay check from the yanks.
