Just to give you an idea of our recruitment down the years;

Gareth McCauley - Free
Jonny Evans - £7m
Craig Dawson - £400k
Claudio Yacob - Free
Chris Brunt - £3m
Youssuf Mulumbu - £150k
Peter Odemwingie - £1.5m
James Morrison - £1.5m

This is just off the top of my head. Those players have helped us develop through the years and have cost virtually nothing. Look at how much Kante, Mahrez and Vardy cost Leicester.

We probably can't compete with the top 12/14 teams in the Prem. So lets buy wisely, it doesn't matter how much money we spend, it matters that they're the right type of players.
The list of failures would be much, much longer.
We've done well to consolidate a place in the top flight over the last 8 years or so but we have next to no squad whatsoever at the moment and our efforts to recruit seem to be almost non existent. Charlie Taylor could have been one to go on the good list and would have cost very little in today's market yet we have let him slip away.
