You mis-represent my argument.
its his raison d’être
Of course that is stupid but at the level of transfer fees we would be paying it doesn't bring any extra guarantee of player quality than a free transfer. Regardless of how much we have taken it was stupid to expect us to go and splash £1 million on bringing players in.I'm not saying all frees are crap, I'm saying that saying that all signings that cost money are crap is stupid.
It's not misrepresenting his argument it's showing it's a false position. There is a difference between a free transfer of a player in contract and a free agent.
BRB off to tell the owners of Real and Man City they can save millions.
This is such an asinine argument.
I could reel out Manset, Slager, Philliskirk, Kilbane, Elliot, Edge, Heridasson, O'Donovan.
And that's just the last 3 seasons. Not even getting to the likes of Sherwood and De Zeeuw.

Wait, what?
All I was saying is that those who were reeling off lists of free players to make some kind of point (like you were) were making a silly argument as I could list players who were free and bloody awful. Similarly, you and others were listing players that cost money and were average to make the same point.
"I wouldn't care as much if we hadn't got rid of £4m worth of players this summer. Is it really too much to ask that we go in for one of the many players moving around at this level for a fee? Why constrict yourself when you've got that cash floating about?"
Maybe because it will be going straight in Sisu's back pocket rightly or wrongly. I am fairly happy with the signings so far, I am sure some of the Wilson money has probably been spent on wages, Pugh, Johnson, Tudgay O'brien, and Swanson all have dropped a level. I really don't think we can moan about the players we have brought in, all fairly decent in my eyes. Credit to Waggott and Pressley in my eyes
When you referred to the "many" players signed for a fee at this level - how many?
None of the money has gone on wages, it's gone on paying for the Sixfields adventure. I'd bet my account that when the accounts come out the wage bill this season is lower than last.
I just cant for the life of me understand why we wont spend a bit of cash on a striker, the striker position is one where you need to spend a bit of cash to get a player capable of getting 10-15 goals a season, 20+ and your probably looking for a figure over £1m, i accept that is probably too much. But spending half that on a player whos going to score 15 is worth it in my book
Totally agree bit of money on that higdon guy would be worth it
Yeah. The jobs market in the lower leagues now more closely reflects the 'real' jobs market (apart from the wages but I think even those are under pressure).No chance he has any resale value. 1 year is not unreasonable for a striker that age, the younger midfielders signed got 2 year deals. This reflects market forces..
Well I long for day we had Freddie Eastwood and Cody McDonald those free scoring goal machines.
Things dried up when we got that loan from forest, that freebie from charlton and that kid from the academy.
I'm not so sure, Baker and Murphy will be on "biggish" wages I guess but like I said in previous post most the incoming players have dropped down a level, okay they may have to take a smallish paycut but Tudgay would have been on 10k at Forest I would have thought?
Never all players in this league are free didn't you know that?
This one should come out everytime that somebody mentions "Community asset" or "Local childrens charity".

By that logic Clarke and Moussa would also have been on decent wages, as both came from the Championship and we were in the Championship when Christie signed his new deal as well.
Sort of agree but how many of us had really heard of Moussa before he signed? I think Tudgay is a lot better known and has been at bigger clubs..meaning bigger wages. I am sitting on the fence on this one really, yes I would like us to spend some money but only if the deal is right on a quality player, but on the other hand why spend the money if Pressley feels he can get better players on Frees and loans? Less risk and expectation on the player I guess.
What you on about? All I've said is in my opinion we have probably spent a little bit of thew Wilson money on some wages on the players who have come in. I then said I don't mind if we spend some of it on Transfer fees or not aslong as we bring the right player in.
Now try and make an argument out of that
Less than one per club - not exactly many is it?
Yes but which are the clubs hat are spending and why?
Oh and how many of those loan players turn out any good.
Suppose we'll find out you will be on here later in the season slagging them off as usual.
I think you'll find most people are slagging them off already.

Subject to FL and FA approval? Or is that mandatory for every transfer now?
Tudgay a Promising signing on paper. We seem to have done some reasonable deals, let's hope they stay fit? I still don't think we have improved on last years squad, would like to see two more coming in. A striker and a central mid before the season starts. In midfield I would like to see a Lee Carsley type player, can put the foot in and win the ball and distribute it simply and effectively.
See I think we have that with fleck who I think the majority rate. I think we need a more moussa type of player, a playmaker someone who can get 10+ goals and produce a bit of flair, something different. I don't see that in the team.
Also 1 or 2 more strikers as SM and MT are not enough obviously.
