Our transfer policy

[pablo73]

I have to say I am delighted, and in no small part relieved, that we have forked out to buy proven, experienced, top quality players who will not necessarily have much sell on value. I was starting to seriously worry that we were sticking far too rigidly to our policy of buying young players on long term contracts who would have a high risidual sell on value. it's an excellent policy as long as it goes hand in hand with bringing in some quality experience. The fact that we've paid 8 million for Woodgate (who oozes class - I don't often use the word majestic but that's how I'd describe his debut) shows that we are willing to deviate from this general policy. and, to me at least, that comes as a huge relief.

I think it was nearer to £6million.

I personally don't think we've signed any top class players at all..
