Is it £17mil for our most expensive defender? Two £30mil wide-men, one who doesn’t want to stay on the pitch, the other made of glass. and two £30mil strikers, one of whom cant hit a barn door this season.

We are an average quality Premier League team, with average quality Premier League players, and average quality premier League coaches and management.

We are holding our own, at a level, equal to the sum of our parts. To reach the next level, Europa League, we need all of the above to change. Will the owners have the stomach for the fight? I hope so.

P.S. Just our luck. Not long after Randy arrived, laden with cash, along came £ity’s Arabian Knights. Now NSWE has arrived, and BOOM!!! Sandcastle gets taken over by an oil-rich Country.

Mad, ain't it.
