I think that behind the smiles of both VK and Pace there are two driven individuals who are both pragmatic and realistic. JayR is past his best. Whilst his experience could be useful, I don’t see him as a PL striker. If the club has told Bashley that he has no future, I am sure the same will have been said to JayR. The money could be spent on the wages of one or two quality strikers that we will need.

I would not be surprised if Cork is on his way too.
