Our finances are ruined from it though, we need to be looking at players with a resale value on lower contracts, no player at this club should be on more than £100k imo. We need to get control of this once and for all and implement a proper recruitment plan.
You need a mix tho - if you sign 3x Onana's in the summer for £80 millions we'll be back in the bottom 6 as young players are too up and down - Patterson another.
A lot of social media fans expecting the likes of Garner, Patterson,
Branthwaite and a few 21 year old signings to be in the starting 11 are in for a shock as Dyche likes experience in the team which is why Doucoure gets in ahead of Garner.
Newcastle have that hipster DOF from Brighton yet they still signed 32 year old Trippier & 30 year old Dan Burn. Imagine us without
Tarkowski this season as an example.
You need a mix of young and experience to be successful. Our problem over the years has been too many over the hill players but that doesnt mean every signing has to have sell on value otherwise clubs much better than us like Villa and Newcastle wouldn't sign players like Digne, Carlos, Trippier, Coutinho etc.
I just hope Walker wants to stay in the North West as him bombing down the flank is what we need - ship Coleman out and get Walker in with Patterson in reserve to develop.
