    £1.5 million. Could get two Larssons for that.

    There is strong suggestions this was the case. I heard that Lenny was impressed with the black fella who played up front for Spartick and wanted to find his own version. * knows where Lawwell and Park got this * glass of water from.

    That summer we signed Balde, Pukki, VVD, Moyakolo, Bitton, & Borreinger. If the media figures are to be believed we spent 8.6 million on these players. The officials accounts has investment in football personnel at 5.5 for that summer. The Balde figure according to the media was probably double what it actually was.

    He did. He also signed Bitton and VVD. All these players cost the same amount of money that we got for Gary Hooper and he left us with 15m change.

    Genuinely thought he had something to offer. Looks like we're having a bit of a a needed clear out and are in for better strikers, so that's good.

    I remember going to Dublin for the friendly v Liverpool and he bossed their defence and scored the only goal of the game.

    By the lack of game time he got, it looks apparent management isn't in entire control of player recruitment. Similar could be said of Scep, Wakaso & Tonev this season who were courted for seasons before Deila came in.

    Slightly worrying if that is the case.

    For last summer's signings, Ronny never really had the time to assess the squad and scout properly, hence all the loans. The January transfers were very good so I'm optimistic about the summer window

    True, just an observation. Frustrating when our budget is so tight yet blowing it on transfer fees & wages of players who aren't contributing.

    Another £1.8million been set fire to.

    That's why I really like the Ciftci signing because we already know what we are getting and that he can perform in the SPL.
