I know, money, but someday we have to show some ambition, we're not the only club that has to manage within tight budgets, but others seem able to do so (Olise to Palace for less than £10m as an example)
What is the difference [Apart from hindsight maybe] between Olise to Palace, and Kirstensen to Leeds - about the same price? addmitedly we dont yet know how good he will be for us, but the same could be said about Olise? Obviously now we all know how good he is - a little like Raphinia - "Who" ? 14 months ago?

Olise played for a poor Reading side in the Championship, Kirdstensen has champions league experience.

As I always say - lets judge our new players - and by extension Orta's success or otherwise AFTER they have played a few games - NOT beforethey have kicked a ball.
