Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

Meh exploiting a loophole

Sums us up, it's what we do best.

My point is that we just won't pay the market rate and then because clubs won't accept the market rate we go to clubs with no money to see if we can screw them over because they have no choice, doesn't always work mind but that's the gist of it. We're as cheap as them come and will do anything to not pay the going rate, it's embarassing and you don't see any other club behave this way.

But again that's not a moral objection, and as i've stated yes it is frustrating that we give up on signing players if we can't get a bargain. But going to clubs and turning their misfortune to our advantage, if the player is on their books is worth getting than i think why not?.

Valencia aren't going to be low balled, and fair play to them......but it's ridiculous to state we shouldn't be trying it in the first place.

This is what i mean by setting yourself to take a contrary approach to everything the club does

I doubt you were that bothered by us doing that when it brought us Fabregas were you?

I have more of a problem because we're always trying to manipulate the market rather than doing what we should be doing and signing the players we need, normal clubs identify players they need\want and go and sign them, we look at how much we think we can get someone for then try and sign them for that without actually caring whether they are what we need or not.

No because at the time we were a proper club, trouble is we're now a joke of a club who doesn't do anyting the right way anymore.

So to sum it up you don't have an objection to it, you just don't like the fact that it's not working for us any more

Which is pretty much what i said in the first place.

Zim is capable of making good and salient points

I've yet to see any, but maybe.

Yeah I know, I'm guessing it's because you're usually too busy wumming to read through entire posts.
