It isn't just a few quid. It's millions.I would say if we had a top CB in a few weeks ago we would be in a good position so it’s not that much needed.
However you are right, it is boarding on negligence to have a giant issue in one position and simply think you can potentially sacrifice a few games and some points early in the season to save a few quid which is what having a clear position issue can cause.
I don’t get why the club thinks leaving holes in the team is acceptable for a top side as we have done this on more than 1 occasion.
Sacrificing those games isn't likely to matter anyway; we are a mid-table team and aren't willing/don't want to risk what it takes, to get into Europe. We are not a top side and this wont change over this window.
