I wasn't advocating parting with the Bloom family silver, and risking bankrupting the club! Merely, if necessary paying that bit extra, to make sure quality players choose our club, over any other interested parties.
Ultimately it all comes down to how desperate we are to reach the Premier League. I know that I am. If we need to pay these vastly inflated wages to get there, then I'm afraid we will need to do it.
If that's ok with you Mr.Bloom?
Well, with three of the Premier League big boys reportedly interested, as well as Derby, I don't think our chances of landing him would be great, but then who knows?
At least he would be assured of regular first team football here, at least until Gaetan Bong returns from injury. Time will...
