Fulham spend 35 million on midfielder Seri from Nice...

[dml1954]

Apart from Targett and Mitrovic, the players they had on loan aren't Premier League quality - hence them struggling to make the Fulham first team on a regular basis. Kalas, Norwood and Piazon were the only other players that regularly made the squad and they are hardly going to be missed.

Cyrus Christie is probably quite capable of filling the void left by Fredericks.

As for Seri being a "desperation signing"... They've bought a highly rated player for approximately £25m (they've signed a defender from Nice as part of the deal, apparently). I wish we could panic buy a quality midfielder for our team too!

So you are advocating City spending another £25-£30m on a midfielder then are you ?. That would make a total spend of around £50m - about half of what we will get from the TV money this season. Very sensible.

Hi mate, glad you don't have me on ignore.

If we spend around £50m on transfers this season, I assume you'll be calling for Warnock and Tan's head then, yeah?

What point are you trying to make there then. I am saying the same now as i was before. We have only spent £24m (Neil Warnocks figures) so far on four players - less than Fulham have spent on one. You appear to think we should spend over £50m, not me. We will spend around £30m max (Neil Warnocks figures) at most on about 5 or 6 players and recoup some of that in loan fees and transfers of players outside the squad. Thats realistic, sustainable, spending, not the route to bankruptcy, which you appear to advocate. PS. I think you need to find another 'hobby' - its getting a bit boring.

It's so easy...

IF we spend around £50m on players this season will you criticise the men at the helm of our club for unrealistic, unsustainable spending, taking us on the route to bankruptcy? I ask this question as you will not allow anyone to criticise any aspect of the club or hold the opinion that spending is required in the division (to a certain extent) - so just answer the simple question, would you, please?

I'll clarify the question just for you:

"If Cardiff City spend approximately £50m on transfer fees this season (not including agency fees or signing on fees etc), will you criticise the club for overspending and potentially leading the club into financial difficulties?"

I eagerly await your honest reply.

No - is that clear enough for you, you pedantic idiot ?. Its a stupid question really - you are totally ignoring the fact that we have only spent £24m so far and our 'budget' is £30m max - all clearly stated by NW at the forum two days ago, presumably because he is totally fed up of all the speculation about what we have spent and what we should spend by media and people like you. If Mr Tan wants to spend £100m of his money on players that is entirely up to him. My opinion is that a budget of £30m + or - is the best policy going forward but why should I criticise my club, owner and manager - I leave that up to you and others on here. I am actually looking forward to the season and enjoying the ride. Dont have time to be negative/pessimistic.

Loud and clear, you hypocrital prick

It was a hypothetical question raised after your incessant criticism of posters who think that the club need to spend more than has been speculated by the club to stay in the division. You're more than happy to have a go at your fellow fans for those opinions, but should Warnock and the board realise we need to strengthen in January (for example) and spend a bit more, you will blindly follow it like the puppet that you are.

If Mr Tan wants to spend £100m of his money on players that is entirely up to him.

That's nice

My opinion is that a budget of £30m + or - is the best policy going forward

Mine too, although I feel like we still need to strengthen at RB, CM and need another striker - and we may need to spend to get them - whether that's in this window or in January

but why should I criticise my club, owner and manager

I'm not saying that you should - but if you're going to criticise your fellow fans for an opinion (spending more than you think we should) - and the board ends up sharing that opinion with them and spends between £15m-£20m more before the end of the season (which isn't beyond all realms of possibility, despite what's been said so far), you will only be negative towards the fans who said it - so the club can literally do no wrong in your eyes.

...I leave that up to you and others on here.

Show me one post where I've criticised the club, owner or the manager since Warnock has been appointed. In my private life, the only negative thing I've said since he became manager is that I don't rate the signing of Madine (still don't). I couldn't have higher praise for the club at the moment

I am actually looking forward to the season and enjoying the ride.

Me too. I think the business has been very shrewd so far and I'm delighted with the signings we've made. We still need a few more though. By the way, when I previously said "I wish we could panic buy a quality midfielder for our team too!" That was nothing but a dig at you for thinking Fulham signing Seri was an act of desperation. I thought that was obvious... but obviously not

Dont have time to be negative/pessimistic.

You're one of the most negative f**kers on here, you just can't see it because you think your 'heroic' defence of the club at every turn is a positive thing. It's not. It's the standpoint of a child who thinks people cannot do anything wrong and believes everything that they're told.

This was all just to see if you were actually as hypocritical as I thought you were.... and I was wrong.

You're somehow more hypocritical. Case closed.
