I want it answered by those bemoaning who we are being linked to - albeit I never fully trust media speculation regarding who we are 'linked to'.
On a free, and if we release Wilson, and if DCL gets in line in terms of pecking order for wages, then it's worthwhile.
That's what the scouts are recruitment team should be doing more of. We've seen one this week, but we should be seeing a few gems being unearthed every season. We're simply buying well known players at great expense, which is seen as lazy.
Maybe. But the same posters then bemoan us signing a young lad who is apparently highly thought of, but they don't know him. So I'm keen to know who they do think is right. Not allowed to be lazy. Not alowed a youg lad they've not heard of. So who DO they want then?
And we haven't. So far we've only signed young lads. If you are going back to past signings, the only one I think we've truly overpaid for is Barnes.
I wouldn't, but I think what would be ideal is some evidence that Howe and his recruitment have an eye for talent. There's literally nothing been unearthed in approaching 4 years and hundreds of millions have been spent. This comes across lazy or lacking.
Lewin would be no2 and Wilson 3rd or 4th Isak Lewin Wilson and Osula is a nice little stable for the striker position and without spending anything on transfer fees.
