This will be a good measure of where we're at. Being at home I fancy us, but it's a matter of how we marshall their pacy attacking players.

The nation state funded factor was defeated by PSR before it even started. The important figure is not how much you can't spend, which we are unparalleled in.

why doubt him though? I trust our scouts based on their success rate in the market so far. He’s been faultless since playing at the base of our base of our midfield (the single pivot, if you please) with Bruno ahead of him. It’s a relief to see him finally starting to live up to his potential after the 10 month suspension tbh. Sean has lots of qualities, is a useful squad player and a great option for certain games, but an Italian international really ought to be starting ahead of him. Now he is on merit.
