Get reuben neves and bissouma, plus PLEASE give saliba opportunity and that's not bad at all.

Buendia performance in championship great, neves and bissouma stood their own in Premier. We're not big time players in transfer market, to be fair, we never were.

Our best signings have been minimal spend compared to others. Our downfall has been extortionate prices on mediocre player's.

Like you say Ramsgate mate its not competition about who spends most but who spends best.

Vardy Kante Mahrez cost Leicester under 10m
Mustafi Xhaka Welbeck cost us 90m

The return on investment for Leicester has been huge both on the pitch and in the profit collum, while we might get 15 million back from our 90m investment leaving us with a 75m deficit and having
failed to qualif for the CL since making that investment.

I've absolutely nothing against signing players for big fees but I'm every bit as happy if we do nothing but spot bargain buys forever, the only important thing for me is what they do once they get here.

Martinelli cost us 6m and Pepe 77m but few would say Pepe has been 13 times better than Martinelli but of the 2 players would we care which one the two scored the goal that secured a too 4 finish 😎.

{Ed014's Note - Buendia cost Norwich 1.35 million quid 2 years ago.

Exactly Ed014 mate, what you pay is irrelevant it's all about what you get in return.

Who can argue VVD wasn't a bargin for Liverpool at 75 million but so was Robertson at 8 million.

I don't think partey and neves would be a great partnership if we continue to play a 2 in midfield. Partey and bissouma could be one of the leagues best. As a cam neves is too slow and not direct enough. Buendia is direct, has good speed and scores and assists regularly albeit in the championship. If we get a new cam goals and assists is important. Willock maybe? Then pump all the available funds into the areas with the most need. That's what I'm hoping.
