This is exactly what i'm getting at though. If we could get Bissouma and Neto for £20m each then absolutely yes, I would be all over that. The point is, I don't think we could get them for anything even remotely approaching that. Ignoring the fact that both would probably have bigger and better options if they were available, I reckon you'd be looking at something approaching double that for either of them, and that's where it becomes a problem. Again, you can do it once for your number 1 target or whatever, but you can't be going out paying £30m+ for all your players. Nor can you be just picking up punts at under £2m a time who need 2 years to work their way into contention. Signing a few players who can do the job but aren't overly expensive is essential if we're going to make serious inroads I think, it's not about us turning a profit it's about us getting value and being able to spend big on gamechangers. It's also about actually being able to convince them to come. With the best will in the world, I think most players would have to think long and hard about leaving the likes of Villa, Leeds etc to come here at the moment.
