To be expected though surely .
I think some on here think that Vik goes for £20 million we have to spend the same on transfers

So the fees spent on 2 signings so far were pittance then?

So we've got 20 million in the bank already ?

Couple of points so you maybe understand more: 1) we don't know how much either transfer so far actually cost so your plucking rumoured figures to suit your argument. 2) do you think we are stopping now and not signing any other players?

We got £17m upfront fee and £2-3m is immediately swallowed up by Brighton’s share

So you criticise lack of investment then accept we have actually invested...

Yes we’ve invested 4/5 million, with the play off run, vik sale and 19,000 STH on a 50% increase, it’s a solid start
think they’ll both be good additions

One thing was said to us, the fans. Other thing was in a press release that will be read by people outside the club, some of whom might have players we want. People have already pointed out why that's a good idea so I won't repeat it.

sure but we're not paying 3.5 for Simms this week either

Once again lads it would be fucking stupid of the club to be shouting about how loaded they are when we still need to buy oher teams players. Think about it
Matt smith

To be fair I think it’s 3.5 million up front, to be fair to Doug
We haven’t been told that.

imagine thinking the club would actually go "yeah we're going to spunk a load of this cash on new players" other clubs would be adding a cov tax

It's bollocks opinion to say we're not spending money.
We are, and we have all been surprised at how much.
The squad build has to be a 2 year plan - so we'll need money for future windows and hopefully not have to be in a position where we need sell our best players throughout that time.

No. Delighted with the intent, also with Japanese geezer. Only a small portion of the Gyokeres fee spent so far however, so hoping for another three or four relatively major signings for this level. If so, then life is good
Better than anything we have done ever

I do agree. But if you know that and I know that, I'm pretty sure the powers that be also know that and are doing something to rectify it.Could do with some defenders though
Nothing to get our knickers in a twist over.

This is exaggeration the other way - too early to tell either way

We've still got the new shirt and Gus - will he, won't he.

Whilst I agree it’s too early to tell it’s not an exaggeration to say he’s done more in the short term.
- Sorted out the shambles of a pitch at Ryton
- Secured arguably our best ever manager and coaching team on long term contracts (previously was a rolling contract)
- Ensured we got top money for our assets
- Record signing since PL days (with add ons could be record ever)
- A deal at the CBS which may be more expensive but allows us to have exclusivity of the bowl and the potential to do what we please (safe standing)
- Ensured the best pitch will be installed at the CBS
Yes it is early days but what else can we expect to happen in 6 months of ownership?
