Hmmm....

Very clever!

[Veevs]

Two different opinions, I'm going to agree with....Tea Pot. There are three possibilities..

1) Alan Nixon has made it all up and there is no £50m war chest

2) There is a war chest of £50m but only after the sales of Samba and probably Kalinic/Pedersen to boot.

3) There is a war chest of £50m available right now without anyone else leaving.

Now if you believe 3, like Veevs and many others here, do you not worry where that extra £28.5m is coming from?

Just to clarify I was commenting on Nicko's post about the 40-50m not saying I believe it in the slightest, the list Nicko gave indicated it would not include a replacement for Samba.

And yes I would be worried about where the money came from and no I don't believe that it would be enough to get us into the top 6 (ManC, ManU, Liv, Arse, Chelsea and spuds) those guys still out spend us have better squads already and can attract much higher class players. I also dont think we need to spend that sort of money to get in the top 10 as the gap from 6th to 7th in terms of spending power is vast.

[Billy Castell]

Of course I'm wrong about Heskey! I just picked out a name of a tall, crap, black British striker at random . We've gone from Carlton Cole to Fuller, now your friend will say it is Jason Lee or Lenny Henry.

Now if you believe 3, like Veevs and many others here, do you not worry where that extra £28.5m is coming from? We've got 16.5m from the Jone deal as well as our massive £5m a window money. Now nicko claims another £5m is 'being brought forward' and I'm surprised everyone's fine with this. We should not be spending more than one window's money at a time IMO, what happens in January when we have an injury and we need a signing but have nothing to spend because Kean gets told "you spent it in the summer"? Even so, that still leaves us with £23.5m to find from somewhere, from a bunch of people who's main business only brings in £10m a year in profits (and please don't give me this 'they own other business which make more' nonsense, if that was true they would be promoting those brand names and not 'Venky's' wouldn't they?).

Call me a pessimistic, call me negative but the only way I can see us spending £50m is if we lose P.Jones (already gone), Samba, Kalinic and Pedersen which will mean a complete rebuilding job of our squad. Else, if we spend that amount but somehow manage to hang on to Samba and the others then I fear we are taking out loans or using money we don't have and could be the next Leeds/Portsmouth.

The squad, IMO, needed a good £10m chucked at in in January but instead we barely paid more than £4m on transfer fees and I'm expected to believe that these same people, who are quoted as saying they will give us £5m a window which fits in with perfectly how much disposable income they have from their businesses, suddenly have pulled £24m out of nowhere and are giving it to us out of the kindness of their hearts? Has Mrs D suddenly gone off the idea we can get by with loan players ans freebies which not so long ago, according to her, would have had us in the top 6? No way....

I think this is a fair enough post which outlines some interesting and important questions – for now don’t think anyone has the answers though.

I am happy with spending money as long as it is not borrowed cash and sensible (ie not putting the club at risk).

ive just asked on FB if anyone who lives close by to Stanley House to go up and see if they can see Kean and the mystery guy

I love this thread!

[Ralfinho]

I love this thread!

RFBI on the scene at stanley house investigating

[nicko]

Funny because 'yes' or 'no' would have been quicker to type than what you did.

To sign the players on the wish list just now would cost between 45 and 50 million. Check back.

How they finance that is up to them.

I couldn't give a @#/? where the money comes from - it won't be debt.

I am more interested in the players being chased, what they will cost, will you get them and if not why not rather than daft equations.

I will leave that to you.

That reminds me,i `ll get the roast on the go....

Out of the players linked with us so far i like the look of Papiss Cisse and he seems to have a good attitude.Good age too,hope something can get done there.

Makes me wonder why someone doesn't install those little peep-hole cameras in the usual places around Ewood for a few months each year.

Update:

The guy I said mentioned on FB that a new signing would be announced tomorrow has just stuck on FB

"Cisse is in da house!"

Make that what you will. I have PM'd him to find out

[Billy Castell]

I know Rooster, I was having a joke as who'd be worse than Cole................oh look it is Emile Heskey meeting Kean. I'm sure Maradona was 'spotted' at various locations in the North West last year.

I can see the scene at Stanley House now. 3 or 4 people trying to look inconspicuous whilst staring at a balding white man who sort of looks like Kean talking to a black friend who has the nickname 'Carlton'.
