*Cough* £25m on Wood *cough*


Yep. Although it is potentially explainable by the specific circumstances of our desperation at the time that go beyond our league position, i.e., having no fit striker in the squad at all and a crucial game upcoming.
 

But, yeah, I agree. Wood is perceived as not worth that money. Which is actually something a bit strange in itself given his numbers are comparable to more fashionable strikers that the press fawn over constantly. Add to that that we significantly weakened Burnley and there’s a definite argument that it was good business.

 

But I tend to still agree with you as perception is king. And if enough people that matter say we overpaid and are desperate in the market then those are the facts. And that’s the situation the owners have to deal with as a result.

There's no way in the world that would happen. I don't think we will have a DoF before our fate for the season is determined, understandably so.

I am finding myself, more and more, with each passing day and the monotonous failed bids, drawn inexorably towards team pissy pants, at my age that is not a good place to be 😔

Lets all just calm down and assume the people who know what they're doing are sorting it ;)

Agreed. I was applying the same logic to Lingard, is it that mental paying 10M for someone proven at this level? Given our predicament, and with the possibility of tying him down permanently too. These are obvious points which they must have considered as well, so hopefully they're just confident in the backup options. Getting pretty close to squeaky bum time now though, and I can't imagine many clubs will sell right at the end of the window with little chance of finding a replacement. Or lower their prices knowing our desperation will only have increased.

 

£10m on a loan dead is crazy. £10m on a permanent deal with a relegation clause isn't so bad. What we want to avoid is spunking a whole lot of money on him then him turning out to be great and fucking off to another club on a free in the summer. It's the sort of deal where if we are going to sign him permanently with a relegation clause then you don't want to announce it until the last minute as it sets a precedent for other signings.
