Give it Greigsy. Oh, come one. Even at our most skint, we spend a couple of million in the summer. Bodo/Glimt have not spent over 700k in one window in at least the last 4 season, and I suspect they've never spent millions. Greigsy does know the club... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are up against a direct rival who have heavily invested in thier playing squad. To expect the same results from someone else without similar squad investment isn't realistic to me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a different argument. You stated Kjetil would have a bigger transfer budget at Bodo/Glimt that with us. That's patently untrue. We did spend £12m, which is not insignificant. I don't think we should be going much over that, to be honest, even if they want to. I can't deny investment is important, but it's more important to use what you have effectively. Bodo'Glimt did pump them just last season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having sold 2 players for about £28m - not sure. 2 minutes ago, Rousseau said: I can't deny investment is important, but it's more important to use what you have effectively. Very true, but (again I'm repeating myself) I think we are trying to paper over too many cracks with this squad and even a top manager would struggle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come they haven't collapsed against better opposition then? Look at who they've played over the last few years, they've knocked it out the park. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dortmund and RBL have players worth more than our entire club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
