Depends what you mean by big.
If we buy a player on a 4 year contract for 15 million and give him the alleged max of 50k pw, that's 15 million plus 10 million in wages over 4 years. 25 total.
If we could get some higher calibre player on a free and pay 100k per week with say a 5 million sign...
Could never doubt CMS attitude or desire.......... Assombolonga, Dwight Gayle, the fella Mendez-Laing who scored the screamer last week...... I think they've got a pretty good scouting system in the lower leagues, Brentford to.
Whats the point of paying 14 million for Locadia and giving him say 50k a week (2.5 million a year) when we could get a better player for less fee and pay them the difference in wages so they actually cost no more to the club?
Yeah that midfielder who plays for Argentinos Juniors who sit 26th in the Argie Primera division, i.e rock bottom.
Hopefully one for the future, not sure if he's PL ready
Harry Potter/Shelvey is a good player, but he's lazy and doesnt run or tackle.
If Hughton stays, he's always going to be defensive/negative (concentrate on clean sheet before goals) in which case, we may do a lot better by trying to be a counter attacking team and for that we need midfielders...
