40m on Ox-Camberlain was another dreadful signing.
+ They made an absolute tonne of them under Brenton & Dalglish.
No, as i said to
Shadydan
we can't afford to write off mistakes like the money teams.I said are we not one of the money teams now because of FFP...
Our revenue is top 10 in the world and due to FFP it looks like we are playing in the same set of rules as the money teams now so surely that makes us one of them?

Indeed so we can't afford to take risks then...
We can take as many risks as the other money teams, right?
Yes attack is a huge issue. Not like we've set a club record for goals scored in consecutive PL matches We've also scored the 3rd most goals in the PL while hardly being at full strength.
The attack is a huge issue!!!

Which is not take the same risks that they were doing before...
You're correct in what you cite.
.......But it's def. the area of the squad with the biggest scope for improvement.
........................Though I dare say getting everyone back fit and firing will indeed improve it.

Fuck sake. As I get older, my brain farts are becoming a daily occurrence.
I'm not going to edit it, I'm going to leave it there out of shame.
I will do better next time.
Well not just anyone. Everton, Forest and Chelsea seem to have only just realised it exists hence the way the heat and money has suddenly been taken out of the market with teams scared to buy.
Them not being able to take those risks anymore doesn't mean our capacity to take the same kind of risks has risen.
Of course they will, a senior journo at the athletic has told me he thinks they already are involved in making a diplomatic middle ground
Complete carve up. Fuck off you cheating filthy cunts, you cheated in the past and you are still cheating now with your ridiculous faux revenue number
Well, the clubs ahead of us have all conceded fewer goals, but yes the "eye test' we haven't been as clinical as we'd like. But i'm sure most club supporters would say the same
I heard the agent fees for that were eye watering too.
By "anyone"; I mean those hearing and engaging in the chattering about the subject.... Fans, media etc.... The general narrative..... The way conversations are suddenly being broached around here.
FFP is nothing new.
......Yet suddenly more teams wrecking themselves by being twats with their spending (Barca, Everton, Chavs etc.... Even Man U suddenly hitting a brick wall!) isn't such a risible concept all of a sudden.
Moshiri has gone from being the jealousy inducing, dream owner; to the harbinger of Everton's downfall that still may see the club utterly broken in the longer term...... Yet it's not like people people here hadn't been flagging the dangers these clubs were dancing with (and being ridiculed for doing so).
Agree. But we are a money team now, right?
That carve up still has to be mediation so will involve them taking some punishment.
Some people, including our own fans, hate us being rich. It’s bizarre. It’s a great thing!
Aside from being clinical; more generally - as I have said all season - I don't think our attacking play is clicking according to the Ange-ball doctrine yet.
