We'll have to spend big-ish.

Ashley wouldn't release the funds for a striker (whether Rafa spent a lot of what he had on Murphy believing more was to come is a moot point-the fact is we needed a decent outlay on a striker) and now we're seeing exactly what £5 mil gets you.

Obviously, if we can get a striker in a similar way to how we got Merino, i.e. under the radar and looking like an absolute steal for what we paid for him then it'd be good to only have to spend that but that's unlikely...so we'll have to spend. We're struggling massively to score goals and that has to be addressed properly.
