all signings have their risks. i may as well say should we sign no one in case it doesn't work out? i wish you'd stop peddling this idea that one signing could send us spirraling into financial meltdown as well. we've spent £7.5m net in 5 years now, it's about time this period of frugality started to allow us to loosen the purse strings a little.
It's not about the cost of the player it's about the worth of the player within the team. I'd state Michu, Betenke, and Ba as examples. Sure a Falcao type player may suit us, but would we need to add players around him to suit his (for example) style of play. The zillion pound signing often comes with "now all we need is a winger to cross to him" tag along with it?
