Clayton never said that though, he actually asked if fear produced indecision. The question is Is it that or does he just find it difficult to make a decision,?! maybe it's why he's become known as dithering Dave.

I think it's a bit of both

Are you being indecisive?

The £40 million I decided to include wages
Try harder Mr Try Hard.

The actual transfer was £17M. The inaccuarte £30M quoted is reliant on add-ins which are unlikely to be met.

Player wages are not included in amortization as they sit elsewhere on the balance sheet.

Thought it was around £26m plus £8m in add-ons .

You could well be right - I got the £17M from a Gonzo broadcast and just assumed he would have done accurate research.

The signing of Vlasic went from £30m to £40m in 2 posts.

That’s inflation for you.

Isn't what causes indecision - fear ?
Hasn't he also improved the scouting system ( I don't know it's only what I hear ) .

Yep our scouting system has improved so much that no players are available.

But and a big but , I hate his indecision ( well that's what it appears to me ) when it comes to substitutions and when and who to bring on to make the difference ( because isn't that what subs are meant to do ) .
What looks like to me his negative tactics in not wanting to lose at the cost of winning games ( that's just my opinion ) .
And his bloody mindedness in the transfer market , we have needed a Striker and Left Back for at least two seasons ( where are they ) .

That's what it looks like from an outsider I would agree. But and a big but....as I said somewhere else, how the fuck do we know that he has not gone to shorty and asked for players?. Do you think that he doesn't want bodies in?. I can't see it myself.
Any decent player is going to command big money and big wages. If there are any decent striker wh would make a difference is going to want to play and not warm the bench, so they will command big money.
Our new board member has said himself there will not be a lot of spending for us in January, so what is Moyes supposed to do?.
Get someone in for the sake of it, at the risk of him not being up to scratch, or worse fuck up the squads togetherness.
A centre back is a necessity. Dawson is too old to play every game and play to his best. I'm surprised we are not going after Philips at Liverpool. I think he would fit in perfectly, but do Liverpool want to get rid?.
As for the subs, I agree with some of your points..
I didn't see the point of bringing Frederick's on. We needed something in attack, so Vlasic would have been the obvious choice for Lanzini, but for all his running about,he hasn't really set the world alight, so who's next who could have changed the game?.
He obviously wants players that are going to make us a better team, fuck knows who that will be if he's not backed with the funds.
