With the calibre of owners we've got I would have expected enough investment in the team to guarantee premier league survival. I would like to see us at least competing with teams like Stoke, Bolton, Fulham, not slugging it out down the bottom of the table against Norwich, Swansea, Wigan etc. I don't think that asking to sign Danny Graham, WR, or to stump up the loan fee for Kyle Naughton is too much to ask for a newly promoted club with owners who are some of the richest people on the planet. This isn't exactly asking for miracles, I know we're not going to be signing Rooney or paying anyone £100k per week.
The reason I am frustrated is that we have been out spent by Norwich and Swansea and on the face of it lost two of NW's targets to Swansea and one to Norwich because of a lack of backing. This is nothing to do with who is perceived as the bigger club, or us having some sort of divine right to better players than those teams - it's to do with losing out on players that NW wanted to teams who will be perceived as being our likely rivals in a relegation scrap.
WR doesn't ever quite measure up to the hype with all the clubs he has played for, which is why he only lasts less than one season on average (9 clubs in 7 years), so he'll be available again in the Jan window probably...

I wanted a new car so this week went to look at the one I wanted - the new Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series. Thing is I really wanted it but because the guy in the showroom wanted over 30K for the extras, on top of the £135K price tag, I decided that he was taking the pish because he knew I wanted it. He wouldn't be realistic in his demands so I didn't do the deal.
Routledge may have been wanted, on the basis of the terms previously discussed before he returned to Newcastle, indeeed, it may have been perceived to be a good deal, but if the player wants to come and the club want him to as well, a deal can be done - unless someone gets a bit too greedy and all of a sudden the deal doesn't represent good value for money.#standuptocancer
