If he's the limit of our realistic options I'd say it indicates that we're throwing the towel in when it comes to putting in a decent challenge in the EPL. We've dropped off any kind of ambition on that front anyway and it seems that the finances won't be sanctioned to reverse that trend. Will be interesting to see if other clubs will be guarding their bank balances as aggressively or whether they'll invest in the entertainment side. Seems like we failed on the final push to the summit with Poch and have now decided to bugger off back to base camp.
I would tend to agree but this is the sort of business we've always done. This isn't too different than signing Wanyama for 12m because he had a low release clause and him being a key player for us. Who is to say with new fullbacks, PEH and a backup striker that we arent contending for top spots? We will always live within our means in the market and hope for the best.
