He picked up some cracking cheap deals at West Ham.
Arguably his best signings this season have been freebies - Weaver, Semedo, Iwelumo (and Todorov who in my opinion has cost us this season).
If he sold the first 3 now he would make a tidy profit.
Yet he has spent £7m on 3 strikers who by and large have been pretty bloody gash, Varney has had his moments but I want more for my £2.5m than a Garry Nelson type runner.
He has spent, £12m+ since he took over which for little old Charlton is a lot of money, more than enough to get us out of this division, and it aint gonna happen.
Hate moaning but cant help thinking what might have been if we had found the right man in 06 to take us forward and not to where we are now, £25-£30m lighter on transfer fees alone.
Whilst I agree entirely with your concerns, Southend, don't forget we have had £12M in for Darren Bent, £2M was it for Luke Young and £4M for Andy Reid, so Pard's net spending is negative. (Weegie sticks up for Pardew shock horror!!)
