Sometimes you have to blow you budget ....

For a big piece of the jigsaw. If we where to blow it on a striker in the summer which striker would you get ?? Remember if you get it wrong you waste our whole budget. Who do you think could come here and be a virtually guarenteed success.

No one is guaranteed success. Owen/Defoe/Johnson i would be happy with one of them, maybe even 2.

any examples of clubs that have done that and really seen it pay off?

Newcastle ;)

 

For the record.... I'd still LOVE Owen more than any other feasible/realistic striker.

aye 'cos newcastle have won just bundles of trophies since haven't they?

 

I was reffering to how a player has done at a club and i think he has been a little bit good. smarta***.

Liverpool

Barnes 900k, Beardsley 1.9 million OK it was 2 players but they paid off from day 1 and at the time that was an astonishing outlay.

 

we had just received 3.3m for Rush though .....

Oh I know, there's no way we'd have had the money otherwise.

Fantastic bit of business though that still makes me grin just thinking of the audacity of going out and getting those two. On a par with getting a pair like Eto'o and Ronaldinho.

 

What price would they be now ?

fair comment. didn't they sign deco and others at the same time though?

 

yeah I guess so....but does that really matter they still had to fork out for them.

Well at the time the Barnes move wasn't universally welcomed by fans - and don't forget we paid nearly as much for Houghton not long after.

Adriano - pace, strength, skill, good in the air, can hold up the ball and scores a few too! Perfect attributes for the Premiership altho acclimatisation may be the only stumbling block.

 

Unfortunately no chance :pig:

We would be daft to blow our whole budget on one player. And none of the examples above are of clubs bloeing all their budget on one player and it being "the final piece of the jigsaw"

What player ever is universally welcomed though ?

 

In the context of blowing your entire budget and taking the team to dizzying heights as a consequence, those 2 take some beating as summer signings.
