How many times does it have to be spelled out to people, 1+1 does not equal two in this context.
Each will have a signing on fee, a loyalty bonus, an agents fee and additional salary.
This is also the case with ‘free transfers’ - There’s nothing in this life for free, is most definitely true.
Plus be renegotiated contract for various players, plus the contracted salary hikes for promotion that will have been in a lot of contracts.
Bakayoko was 200k on his own
It'll be 70k rising to 200k. If we've paid 200k upfront for him we're fucking morons.I'd seen £70k. Either way, doesn't make a huge difference.
McNulty came for free. Transfer fees are no indication of quality.
Which players are being replaced with loans?Firstly, I know we've brought in plenty of new faces over the summer and seem to have made some good signings. My issue is the lack of investment post the McNulty sale. Since then we've signed Hiwula for a reported £150k & Bakayoko for a reported £70k. That's approx. £220k of £1.2million. It's just a little disappointing considering they've had the Maddison money too. I didn't expect it all to be sent, and know some goes on signing on fees and wages, but thought there'd be enough not to have to replace the players we've sold with loans.
He came out of contract, not on a free per se. There are a limited number of players changing clubs like that each season and only at the start of the window. Once you find yourself halfway through a window you ain't going to get a McNulty on a free, you'll get a Vincenti.
Of course transfer fees are an indication, what a ridiculous statement. It's a direct indicator of the length of contract that players on and their perceived value to the selling club. Bayliss when he goes will go for more than Stokes. Wilson went for more than Cody McDonald.
No, it's not a guarantee, but it is an indicator and to suggest otherwise is either willfully ignorant or just plain idiotic.
They weren't ccfcs accounts ....Don’t forget joy will want a big payout again next year also ? Like this seasons accounts Payments to directors up substantially

Completely ignoring his point and instead opting to make a tiny correction that doesn't matter, as usual.Out of contract is the same as a free.

McDonald and McNulty Id guess.
We already had McDonald's replacements.McDonald and McNulty Id guess.
Like who? I've not seen any transfers of any particular note.I'll never understand why so many of our fans are always so keen to defend the lack of investment that goes into our playing squad in comparison to the money brought in. Just because we've had some good players come in on a free and some paid fees for some poor players doesn't negate the fact that you're much more likely to get a decent player if you're purchasing them from someone else as opposed to picking up scraps. The moment McNulty was sold we should have done what Reading have done to us and gone and bought Doidge or someone of that ilk. Someone with a proven track record of scoring goals, not multiple players with 'potential'. Signing players who might be good in a few years is fine, but you need to have some actual proven players in there as well to ensure that you're going to have a good chance at a positive season. Some of the players brought in by our League One rivals today put us to shame.
It's not ridiculous at all. In league one and two far more players move on a free than for a fee.He came out of contract, not on a free per se.

Once you find yourself halfway through a window you ain't going to get a McNulty on a free, you'll get a Vincenti.

Within transfer Windows?When do they move?
Within transfer Windows?
Honestly ffs.
Has the OP had memory loss for 15 years.
When was the last time we spent over a Million for a player?
We’re in League 1. We need to spend wisely and as others have already said there’s massive on-costs for EVERY signing.
I am really happy with the players we’ve brought in-especially when compared to recent transfer windows when big players were sold with no replacements.
I think you need a time machine and go back to the infamous Mowbray transfer window to appreciate City’s investment in players this summer.

I think people think the transfer window is only one day..
We were outbidding Charlton for ogogo and investing in long contracts for players we have signed.
It really isn't just about transfer fees. If we had signed somebody like Collins for 200k people would be saying it's great, 200k on hiwula and it's nothing!
Not really being obtuse when we have signed decent players on free transfers and they picked us over other teams?The fact you're being intentionally obtuse suggests you've accepted you've lost the argument.
I didn't say it was about transfer fees Nick, and I said we've made some good signings. I'm just slightly concerned that McDonald has left and no-one brought in to replace him. I rate Thompson but it still leaves us short of experience in defence.
Striker doesn't bother me so much but Robins leaving 10 open probably lets us know he thinks we need another.
If we bring in a CB and Striker on loan with a view to buy I'll be happy with that. If we're just going to develop other teams players I'm not sure it's the right thing to do for the long term.
We already had McDonald's replacements.
We have signed 2 strikers / forwards with McNulty going.
Colclough to Scunthorpe, Toney to Peterborough, Ricky Holmes to Oxford, Stefan Payne to Bristol Rovers and Ollie Norburn to Shrewsbury all great signings and either loans or within the price range we've been offering for Chaplin.Like who? I've not seen any transfers of any particular note.
