And you think he asked for more than what CMS is on???....It was never a case of we couldn't afford it, it was Poyet didn't think he was worth it. And believe me it wasn't a kings ransom.
But we all know you would be lucky to get a dozen games out of him, if that. What a waste of space he was when he finally pitched up at the end of last season. Yes I know some say he was rusty and lacked match practice. My answer to that, is why the **** was he picked then??? We were crap them...
He left for nish, as you say because he was out of contract. One year left on his contract £1.5m- £2m would be a bargain for a 20+goal a season striker. And I couldn't care less is he played for the Peter Sutcliffe XI as long as he scored the goals that see us promoted.
Although I do agree a left back is a priority. I think a 20+ goal a season striker is more pressing tbh. You can sign the best keeper and defender in the world, but they are not going to score the goals to get promotion. Although they will prevent enough going in the other end to avoid...
Glenn Murray.....Lives local, never wanted to leave in the first place, proven quality at this level, probably not in Pulis long term plans and in the last year of his contract...Come back, be honest about why you left, call Poyet a tosser and all will be forgiven. Especially when he starts...
