In the first place, we don't actually have our hands on most of that money yet. In the second, perhaps we already have specified intentions to spend it when we do get it. 

Probably Tillman and Sands. But then if that's the case then we wont have much cash to strengthen season after this depending on sales.

 

We were reportedly right in for the lad Fulgini until he went to Mainz at the end. I remain hopeful we can at least bring in one quality first team player.

We cheaped out in Jan and lost the league. 

 

The financial impact of that has largely been negated but we should learn from it. 

Yep, would have loved to have gotten Skov Olsen in. Every time I see Brugges results he is either scoring or assisting. He will make them mega bucks when sold too.

I think you need to add in Patterson.  taking us to a ridiculous 26%

That was last season. 

 

Do you want to include the money we got from Alan Hutton too?

If we haven't spent the money yes.

I think its a fair point. The money from Gerrard and Patterson may have been reinvested in the January window. But not sure how much we really spent bar Zukowski. But back then our financial outlook was very different so while its ok to be disappointed with the lack of January spend its hard to be extremely critical of it.

Last season we signed Zukowski and Bacuna for money, but I doubt Ramsay and Lundstram are/were earning peanuts. We signed Sands too, which has an option to buy for £6m (?). 

 

I think it's silly to expect to spend 100% of this income on new signings. 

 

We can argue if it was well-spent, or not - not, in this case - but that was last season.

 

Leave that to one side and focus on this season.

no one is asking for 100%

 

we also sold Gerrard and team for 4.5.

made a profit on Bacuna. 

Sold Simpson.

Zukowski was 400k.

We probably sold Simpson for something like 25K and paid him off with 100K

 

As for a profit on Bacuna, I would be sceptical.

You're just adding up what you want, going back years, to arrive a some big number, and thinking, 'oh - yes, we should be spending close to that in this widow'. I don't think that's how businesses run.

I think Bacuna was a profitable trade. 

 

I'm convinced it was the plan all along. We had the opportunity to get him for nothing, then sell him on. 

 

He was too good a player not to use, IMO.
