The point being made I think is that if you want first team players then expect to pay first team player prices, although it doesn't always work out as we have seen... Whereas paying over the odds for bit part squad players seems foolish when we have that type of player already in the ranks.
Good point. We've seen the club bring in some utter dross over the seasons expecting them to be the solution to the squad conundrum when the likes of Devenny fulfil the role already.
I'm surprised the club has held onto JRS - yes he had a trick or two but most of the time he runs himself into a cul-de-sac or goes missing. As others have mentioned the club should have taken Southampton's bid and run. Franca should think about Rugby the amount of shots that head skyward he has...
So many mediocre players on silly money, enjoying a jolly by the lake. Looking ahead I don't have much faith in recruitment and selling the better players will only weaken the overall squad, so good luck Monsieur Sage, you're going to need it...
When Eze came on it was like going down to 10 men - £68m you're having a laugh. At the other end Sorloth only had to roll it square to an unmarked Haaland and it would have been 2-0 and game over. Must be an ego jealousy thing.
