    That is the evidence so far...Stewart Milne still has enough time to prove the people like myself who think this is a bit of a con wrong.
    I will watch closely.
    But we didn’t get £1.3m for Hayes this summer.

    The whole point of the post was that we simply don't know what we've paid in fees, compared to last year or based only on this year, yet you try and create a dispute rather than discuss the point being made. You don't know who's being paid what, this year or last year. Neither do you know what fees were paid this year or last. Plus you've no idea what the DNA money has been or is going to be used for. Nor what the budgets would or could have been. A major failing, I believe, of DNA which is a more accurate argument against DNA rather than to blindly suggest it hasn't been spent before even the seasons transfer windows are past.

    Your accretion? You may, along with a number of others, think DNA is a con but you should say why based on fact not made up sheite.

    How much is the tribunal for Ferguson.

    So many holes in just the first part of your sentence.

    Admit it, you have an agenda and you don’t know anything for certain.
    You really are struggling but trying your hardest to defend Milne here.
    Every man and his dog knows we haven’t spent more than last season budget so far.
    Stevie May, Kari Arnason, Gary Mackay-Steven were all players that we paid a fee for. This season so far we have only paid for Chris Forrester. I would not be surprised if the fee was very similar to the one we paid Celtic for Mackay-Steven.
    Lewis Ferguson will cost us money also (which it should) but we will have plenty change left over.
    So many holes in my first sentence you say

    Lol, I know. Do you think the money we received for Hayes actually got reinvested fully back into the squad? Absolutely no chance.

    You are needing to listen to your own advice.

    You were tasked to provide proof.
    I’ve yet to see any.
    Keep trying to convince yourself.

    I'm actually a wee bit impressed with the loan signing and the way it came about. Nobody had any idea until the day he actually came over. Hopefully there are a few more that we are keeping close to our chest.

    True, Generally McInnes keeps transfer activity out of the limelight until a deal has been done.

    Let’s try it this way....Do you personally think we have spent more than last season?

    Last year, our net spend was zero.
    We spent the Jonny Hayes money.

    This year, it’s hard to tell as no-one knows what the DNA money has brought in yet as no-one knows, of the 6000, who’s paying up front & who’s paying Direct Debit.
    Forrester £200k
    Ferguson - “approx” £200k - tribunal
    Loan fees (likely) for Hoban & Wilson.

    Incoming
    McLean £300k
    Arnason WC money - £120k?
    Rooney £275k?

    We did bid approx £300 for Marquis?

    Suggests there’s still that to spend?
