Reading a lot of the comments (not just on this place) there's a lot of football snobbery going on tbh. I don't care if he isn't a fancy name, just as long as he scores goals, goals and goals!
Exactly.

Now if we're smart we go and buy a young hotshot who can take his time to develop and we build ourselves that mega striker we currently can't afford or won't pay the money for. And in a way I'm with Wenger when it comes to some of the stupid figures being bandied about. Neymar, £130million? Martial currently valued at £80million. Seriously? Does any one player bring that much to a team? Well we know what we're getting with Vardy, a guy who will graft all day long and knows where the goal is. He'll also get straight into the box and dive. I'm not joking when I say that's something we have been missing. That's how it's done in this league. Rooney, Sterling, Costa, Young, Bale when he was here, Starfish, that's what we have been up against and we've come out on the losing side 9/10. Time to turn those tables.

If this happens it'll be our most effective signing in years, excluding Cech which was another much, much needed signing.

People really want to pay £60mill for Morata and then pay him another £30mill over 4 years in wages? We're worried about a striker who has just done the business and hoisted a PL title, yet we're cool with Morata coming in for the lion's share of our transfer budget? I don't get it.

Now we have the cash left over to go and get a top CB and we're ready. For once in the last decade we're ready.
