Last few seasons we have signed far to many players yet when you look at our squad it is looking rather thin.
Does any one know how many Bruce O'neill and PDC signed?
at a guess I would say 35, and that since 2009. A huge amount of cash has been wasted on below average players.
Back to this season, like me we are pulling our hair out at all the speculation but little action. It's worse when the skunks are spending big (for once) just up the road. Last season Gus made one bad mistake and that was Scocco. Hopefully the right players will sign on the dotted line and then only a few players will be needed each summer. Once again I ask the question of our youth team players coming through - where are they?

{Ed024's Note - Since start 2009/10 season we have brought in 42 players and released/sold 59. The higher number released/sold is mainly due to the release of Academy players. Due to the number of 'undisclosed' fees its not easy to estimate how much has been spent and received but best guess is since 2009/10 season we've spent £140M and received £110M.}

30mil spend in 5 years is shocking for a top flight club. No wonder we have a paper thin squad with little quality. If short wonders why we are nearly relegated every season please look at that. Get 100mill out and get 5-6 quality players still would only amount to 26mil spend per season since 2009 which ain't that bad.

That's shocking the amount of players in and out! It must be the highest turnover of players in the league.
This can be only down to the ever downward spiral of manager comes in ships out a load of players, buys every player that passes on the a19. Gets sacked and it all begins again.
Hopefully we keep this manager for a good few seasons and he can build a team.
