Well its pretty pointless paying a fee (probably a good few million) and giving probably a 3 or 4 year deal for a player that will be redundant in 4 months time if and when we get promoted! He'll be great to help us get out of this league, but to buy him on a 4 month deal wont be an option. And if he isnt good enough for Sunderland in the PL now, then he wont have improved in 6 months of sitting on the bench to be good enough for us.
I get the argument, but it's also a surefire route to creating the kind of Championship super-team that we've seen time and time again have no chance of surviving after promotion.
Im pretty sure Leo Castledine was an in demand player.... boro managed to get that over the line pretty sharpish with no fucking about.
When was he last in their squad? I doubt he has been in it for months with AFCON and loans
Whats everyones underrated chocolate bar.
I doubt many clubs backed by US billionaire owners despair at a couple of million regardless of who it was for. Guy makes more than that in interest a day! Probably found £2m down the back of the sofa and said to Eddie Howe "why dont you use this sofa change i found and buy that Jones fella you were after"?
He’s worried about building a championship super team for the premier league when in reality we only need one or two quality additions to get us out of the league we are in. Should we win promotion most of the squad will need rebuilding anyway
The budget for the premier league is a different beast entirely. Spending now will not impact at all
