Even so Joey the sum total of that squad is frightening, the only really massive deal was Inchy from Stoke,our team was really built on a shoestring.

I’m impressed with your correct spelling of denominator Joey.

Whilst each of those players were worth every penny but Degys Mountfield got to be the best value, all those goals he scored for a centre half were priceless.
