Ross McCormack went for £11m
Robert Snodgrass went for £8m in the last year of his contract
We live in a world with an inflated transfer market due to TV rights
Just be happy we have agreed a fee
Looks like all our eggs have gone into one basket.
So we're paying 14m to be as good as last year, which was ****e.
Happy to get him but the fact is we need more and if we're paying those prices we're going to have to pay a lot.
...... and he'll attract other top players to the club.....
Arrrgh much asI love the lad I STILL just can't see why we need him, especially for that sort of money? Giachherini looked decent on the left towards the back end of last season, and Wickham came on leaps and bounds and is still only young. So which one are we having sat on the bench? Our Italian internatinoal? The £14m signing? Or the "future England international" we are currently trying to convince to sign a new contract reportedly worth approx. £40k a week? I just don't get it. That money could have been put to much better use imo. Hope Gus knows what he's doing...
We played some absolutely cracking stuff at the back end of the season which should stand is in good stead for the start of this one...And oh yes, we got to a cup final as well...
We also got spanked by hull in the other cup and played a hell of a lot of dross too mate. Evens out as a pretty disappointing season. We need a better squad than last year. Everyone else seems to have strengthened around us.
This this this.Lots of negative comments on here. Borini was first class last year and he will only get better. We know the passion and the heart he gives it will be fantastic for the team. Money is money it's not yours or mine and I don't believe this is as I read above all our eggs in 1 basket. Fantastic signing everything we needed in a permanent signing.
