Did you just say you cannot get a bond or bank finance for a project before it's build?No it doesn't, again you're just making stuff up, the bonds only apply after the stadium was finished.
I wasn't on the forum at the time, but what were people's opinion of Gallas?
Giroud seems a bit the same to me. I've never liked him because of the teams he play for, but he's never been the biggest cunt on those teams either.
He's also undoubtedly still a quality striker.
That's different kind of expenditure as it concerns loans against (appreciating) assets..
What the hell are you on about? Not every player needs to be £50m+. Should we not buy players when they are cheaper/younger just because we have more spending power? Or not take on low-risk loan-to-buy players either? It’s important to diversify our player acquisition strategy to help mitigate risk in the short and long term.
YES WE ALL DO READ THE BLOODY ACCOUNTS ....
I have no idea what his argument is ... the point I was trying to make was that for the first fifteen years under ENIC we spent pretty much bugger all net on transfers ... in the last three we've spent net over 110m and more again today ... things are different now.You do realize his 107 million figure stated "the average net spend per year" right?
So your picture suggests that number for city would be 1.18 billion over 10 years or 118 million net spend per year on average, opposed to his 107 million.
I can understand if you guys don't like each other but I think you're not really arguing about the same thing by accident.
No I said that we didn't ... again READ THE ACCOUNTSDid you just say you cannot get a bond or bank finance for a project before it's build?
I never once said it's a bad thing - but others make it sounds like we can rival City and PSG now which is simply not trueWhat the hell are you on about? Not every player needs to be £50m+.

Total spend of £160m on players post-stadium opening in two windows is a pretty significant bump compared to prior years. Could become closer to £200m in the next few days.
People can whinge about summer 2018/winter 2019 with good reason, but to act like we haven’t been spending significant money in the last two windows is a bit much.
Why not? how much have City and PSG spent this window?I never once said it's a bad thing - but others make it sounds like we can rival City and PSG now which is simply not true

Send Dele on loan to us and get Lo Celso on loan, would that create a paradox ?
I wouldn’t touch him with a fucking Berge pole
Same player as we always have in the past as in the type of player Levy has gone on record to state we prefer - young and with potential. Why is that viewed as a negative thing all of a sudden?What the fu*k?
What type of players are they then???
I would not say with any strech of imagination that we should put players like Chiriches and Wimmer from past to same bracket as Sanchez.
Not would I say that Stambouli and Capoue would be "exactly same type of players" to Ndombele and Lo Celso.
In both cases I would say we have taken qualitative step forward.
Sure, we sometimes still take punts like Alli in the past and Clarke in present. Guess what? All effing teams do at times. Look at Pool with Shaqiri or this new japanese youngster.
I could not find common "exact type" between Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, Clarke, Fernandes, Bergwijn if my life would depend on that. Other that they are youngish.
The argument will always be about "Has there been enough change (yet)".I have no idea what his argument is ... the point I was trying to make was that for the first fifteen years under ENIC we spent pretty much bugger all net on transfers ... in the last three we've spent net over 110m and more again today ... things are different now.
We've built a 900m stadium, hired a rockstar manager and smashed all our transfer records ... how is that not change?
Was sorely needed.I'm confident we'll get either Giroud or Piatek by Friday at 11pm. This is the best January window I can remember on record.
