Im still waiting for the downturn in prices caused by Covid 19 . . . . . Thought it was going to be a buyers market.
Nathan Ake cost £40mil. . . .Lewis Dunk, Brighton want £40-50mil, we just had a £22mil bid rejected for a 2nd division cb!!!!!
Man City signed a very highly rated Spanish winger for £20mil, only 20 but has over 50 La Liga games to his name, Champions league experience and Europa League.
Meanwhile we are wondering whether to spend upwards of 20mil on 2nd division players!!!!!
I dont get the domestic obsession, i dont agree with the argument that its better to sign domestic players, a good player is a good player and it doesnt matter where he played before. Many domestic players have failed to make the step up to Prem level, many foreign ones to, its not an exact science
I find our willingness to overpay on domestic players daft and not using Bielsa contacts in Argentina to find gems so frustrating. Wolves only signed foreign players, they seem to do alright.
i really hoped we would change our domestic obsession
( i know the window has only just opened but its pretty clear we will only go foreign if we cant find anything in England)
Sorry for the rant i feel better now
