Trouble is mid season any players of that quality are already locked in at other clubs and would cost the equivalent of what we got for him - not the model. Plastic's were fortunate that he wanted out and we were willing to sell at that time. Any players available were possibly overseas ones but had we filled our quota by then with Traore?
