  - Last time were were in the PL we had Lewis and Aarons as FBs (NCFC) - usacanary, Jun 4, 14:52:29
    - Loose language, both were largely injury free. That's what I meant. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 4, 15:30:20
  - I'd say 22 is perhaps a stretch, more likely 18-20 players in the core first team squad (NCFC) - NxNW, Jun 4, 12:22:28
    - I'd agree on 18 to 20 outfield players. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 4, 14:13:54
      - I'm not saying it's what I'd do, but I think it's what Webber will do. (n/m) (NCFC) - NxNW, Jun 4, 14:41:40
        
        Id find that seriously worrying unless some of the current sicknotes are replaced. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 4, 15:41:16
- Not overly simplistic, but is the £30m all for transfer fees? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 4, 11:29:51
  - All about the foreign bargains (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jun 4, 11:42:30
    - That's kind of a false perception......... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jun 4, 14:29:03
      - Did we buy the Murphy’s? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jun 4, 14:54:13
        
        Sounds easy.....Buy PL quality players for bargain prices.... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jun 4, 15:02:56
    - Which is more complicated to do given we can't go raiding the Bundes2 or Liga2 any more (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 4, 11:47:14
      - In this context though. bargain takes on a different meaning (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 4, 11:49:27
        
        Gotcha. Makes sense. One thing that doesn't is that it seems non EU players are easier? (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 4, 14:16:14
        
        I don't think they are easier, I think they're the same (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 4, 14:22:40
