The thing about waiting for your first choice.. when they inevitably string you along and sign for someone else, you find that your 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th choice have been snapped up.
It’s a balance.
Just looked at Transfermarkt and outside the “big 6” who seem to play by different rules and the promoted teams then we have spend the same as most other clubs so far. Brighton have spent a bit more than the rest.
Still frustrating that we...
Tricky one, as in one way we have cash to spend and don't have to wait to ship players out first, so you could say we should have done more by now.

In my lifetime that I actually remember/had an interest in football for..

1. Lukaku - The loan was one thing, signing him after his performances on loan was another. Couldn't believe a striker of that calibre had joined us permanently...
