£40m , who cares, just spend some fucking money
I don't understand, you spend all day lamenting Spuds buying players, you complain about quality being drained, Draxler has it by a bundle and he can score too (13 for Schake last season which is better than any of our forward players that wouldn't be classed as strikers).
The fact he isn't a striker per se should be neither here nor there.
I want us to be competitive. We supposedly have £70mill to spend. We know where we need the players, another AM isn't what we need. So blowing £40mill and risking this being our only signing makes no sense. We couldn't win anything with RvP in the team FFS, so we need more than one quality player. Okay, if that's all we get then fine I'm not going to say no, but we won't be in a position to win anything with that one addition.

The Kalou thing was another Twitter wind-up which made it into several newspapers in a matter of hours.
I think we probably have more than that. Better quality is what we need, regardless of what position it may overload us in or not. Blowing £40 million you say, well what are we going to do with that particular figure that is going to put us in a position to win anything? If it's the Real Madrid players then I concur but it'll take more than that anyway!
We didn't win anything with RVP sure but we had him for the whole season, once. I'm not whining about that but it's true and we don't have a weaker midfield than we did then, I think anyway.
