yeah, but didnt we just sign some big money deal with Tamoil ???
Well i wouldnt call an extra 3 milion a season 'big money'.... Two weeks wages in reality.
The problem with the deal is that everyone goes on about the total over the full term of the contract... which means nothing... we dont get a lump sum... we get an amount every season which is pretty much in line with inflation to the previous one... eg. It means nothing.
Anyone expecting alot of buys this summer is living in a dream world.
We again lost out on cl money, we have the spiralling cost of the stadium... less money from tv money etc etc.
We are worse off than last season... jus look at the mid season losses that were declared... With the cl exit, increased wage bill etc... the figures are there for all to see
We will sell a couple of players and replace them ... thats about it.
We should get a few quid from our japanese tour though.
Not to mention the minor point people forget when it comes to the amount of players and level of players we will buy... We are Juventus.
Do people not take notice of the way this club operates... its the same every year... Yet people still insist we will sell 6 crap players and buy 43 world stars... get real!!
