I think that level of money needs to be spent on forwards - where we are hugely deficient - or defenders similarly thin on the ground
It depends on what we estimate his potential future value might be... If we paid £400K for him just now, and he has a good season with us, getting into double figures for goals and catching the eye, we could sell him for over a million a year later. It's always a risk though. I agree that there are other positions we need to strengthen more though.

These are the kind of signings we should be making though.
