It's not hard to understand that it's difficult to compete in the market at the moment.
We have one of the best first eleven in the PL at the moment. We do not have an area where we desperately need upgrades, and where there are a lot of potential, available upgrades, like Liverpool, Woolwich and United. We have to get the very best players to upgrade any position, meaning we need players that pretty much every single club in the world would like to buy, and we quite simply can not compete with at least five clubs in the PL financially at the moment.
In addition, we have needed to spend a lot of resources on renewing and bettering contracts for our best players.
Gone are the days where we could attract youngsters by being the best club in which they could be almost guaranteed game time. It would be difficult for anyone to establish himself in our first eleven.

Those SSC fellas are bloody amateurs. 3565 pages on something that's happening.
We've chalked off nearly 1200 pages for absolutely nothing. Elite.

I wonder what the spilt between FM/Sky and old school fans is like here.
I would be genuinely interested to know.

Yes.
Kinda like when they bought Rooney. They are a bit Sunderlandish with some of their acquisitions.
I still wear flares and a budgie jacket.
So fairly old school
Hope that helps
That's the state of this place when people are even too scared to say "yeah, I thought we would sign some players but we didn't & I am disappointed by that". Ummmm you ain't a true fan!
After saying he didn't want to sign a certain player, even the usually thick skinned totti felt he had to say but If poch wants him I will back him. People are putting disclaimers on the end of any criticism or negative comments they make in case they get accused of being a melter.
There really is no excuse for this. So so embarrassing.
The first team not to sign anyone in a summer since 2003... We're either absurdly arrogant or just thick.
There are plenty of reasons to love this club, and I'll fully support them regardless of whether we sign 0 or 10 players, but in this day and age, where let's be honest transfers are a huge part of the game, this is just completely and utterly baffling.
We're a Champions League club (and have been for the last 3 seasons) with a beautiful new stadium on the horizon, and you're telling me we couldn't attract anyone?
Poch may say everything is OK but deep down he must be livid. Just hope to god we beat Newcastle otherwise that Fulham Wembley game, with probably around 30K there, is gonna be poisonous.

Nope. The club doesn’t think it ought to give us reasons for anything. And a price hike? There’s no price hike. You can’t even compare seats!
But I’m sure they’ll send an email urging me to buy a ticket to see Fulham at Wembley
Proud day boys. Levy making history. He deserves a raise after this.
Old school here - first game in April '76. We were relegated the next season.
Not my fault.
Budgie smugglers I heard?
There's only ONE Hotspur!
1st again!!
In a footballing world where disgusting amounts of money are thrown at distinctly average sometimes, I'm pleased we're making a stand against it!!
"BRAVERY" isn't throwing £300k a week at a player and being surprised he's any good... BRAVERY is TRUSTING what you have to continue the good work, without disrupting the Apple cart!
We really are the trendsetters!
Being dissapointed doesn't make you a melter it is the mind readers who are suggesting Poch and Eriksen won't be happy with the window and will leave because of it. Like they would fucking know.
