Imagine Dobbie is on 15K a week.
Imagine we need to find 25K per week to bring in a Premier League striker on Feb 23rd to see us through to the playoff final.
Imagine we can only fund 10K a week of this.
Yes, we could have sold Hoskins, but what if the offers weren't good enough for us or...
It's only fair to Tony that we stick to a budget.
It must have been a good deal to agree this, and do we really want to keep paying our 5th choice striker just to refuse him playing for palace?
A good deal for all involved.
