About time we started looking in our own division rather than spunking countless millions on overseas players.
Like Davies (who some are saying isnt good enough), Sigurdsson (who was let go too soon), Chris Armstrong, Bent, Andy Booth, Saha etc.....
No guarentees anywhere mate.
Do you mean players like Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Dembele, Eriksen, Lloris, Lamela, Wanyama and Son? British players come at premium, inflated prices.About time we started looking in our own division rather than spunking countless millions on overseas players.
We never lost money on any of those players mentioned, and highly doubt we'll lose anything on Davies. If they wont work out, we'll still get our money back, we got next to nothing for Soldado and will have to take a huge drop on Janssen. Someone like a Snodgrass or Deeney who would step in and score goals, and if they didnt, we would still get our money back.
We should get Dembele from Celtic and if necessary send Janssen up there as a loan. I thought we were going to buy Dembele at the end of last season and am mystified why we didn't.
Snodgrass is a winger so can't see how you can mention him as an alternative striker. Ignoring the fact he's 30 years old.
Deeney is a lump who doesn't look particularly effective in a poor Watford team.
And he's 29.
You wouldn't get your money back on either of those at their age.
We've got a clear strategy of signing young players who Poch feels he can improve; not long in the tooth journeymen.
That lump and winger have scored from open play since their time at their clubs. Cost a fraction of the price too.
