If we were still in the sixties,and he was here he would have got no end of fights on cross lane,and probably a few good hidings.

You want to use the fact that Koukash didn't pay a fee for a player as proof that he will.

He clearly didn't flash as much cash as The Dragons.

It was actually because Elliott didn't want to move to Salford. I'd be very surprised if the money the Bulls got from Catalans came anywhere close to the 100k Salford offered.

Both Salford and Catalans had bids accepted by Bradford. It was the player's decision to go to Catalans because he wanted to join a top four club.

The fact that Salford made a bid shows that Marwan/the club are willing to pay a transfer fee. The alternative - that, had Elliott Whitehead decided to join Salford, Marwan would have then have said "actually, no, I'm not paying a transfer fee" - is a bit ridiculous, don't you think?

Isn't it a bit silly debating now whether not the Dr is willing to finance player recruitment by transfer fees, it's a given.

Talk of transfer fees were mentioned in relation to high profile players intended to kick start player recruitment .
the Elliot Whitehead move was proof in itself that cash on it's own is not enough , he has to improve the standing of the club in the eyes of the players as well as the spectator.
He spent well over 1 million this season just keeping the club ' ticking over ' .

He intends to do the same next season , not including monies set aside for expansive player recruitment.

All we have to do is wait until the 5th of Sept to get a measure of what the man IS prepared to do to improve the club both on and off the field. then it won't be such a matter for debate.

Indeed. There seems to have been an influx recently of fans of other clubs who just want to come on here and show how ill-informed their opinions about Salford are.
