    Anyone have a list of players weve bought the past 3 seasons with fees and how much wages they are/were on?

    Bains not been a flop, came in to be a backup and has been decent enough in that aspect,

    And if gutman carries on as he has started this season he will get a call up and can then join us so may yet come good

    Closer to £13mill I reckon.
    Not counting wasted loans.
    That's 3 good players worth if we just went and spent £4million on a defender, a left back and a creative mid

    Way more than that if you count loan fees and wages...

    This window has been excellent so far.

    And we did good business last year too.

    Wages will mostly be guesswork.

    Looking at the list of players that didn’t become regulars just shows how much we need to improve our scouting process

    I would argue that looking at that list shows we need to blood more players rather than relying on the same core group.
    There's guys on that list who should have much more on field minutes than they have / got.
    How can you truly judge players unless you play them.

    I look at it and see too many midfield players who never would get game time. No decent defensive signings until last summer with Frimpong, El Hamed, Jullien and Taylor. The only midfielders to come in recently and get regular game time were Elyounoussi and Burke, both loans. Ajeti is the only striker I see getting game time which is insane.

    Money being wasted not the sort of investment you need if you want CL football but then we don't budget for that, if we don't budget for it then why is it when we don't qualify one of the better players (assets) ends up being sold to make up for the lost revenue that the CL would bring in.

    A couple bits of good business, and a few shockers.

    £11.5m on Klimala, Soro, Bolingoli and Taylor is scandalous.
