As much as you are right that's a hell of a chunk of money to come out of the striker fund.
A much needed Delaney type deal ought to be on hold now, till the summer.
I think I let my heart rule my head yesterday, thumbs upping a lot of the anti pilchard comments.
I think I was wrong, and Interesting to see how he goes ought to have been the fence sitting approach I should have taken.
So in answer to the question 'who should we have signed?'
The answer would appear to be a list of players who:-
Are no better than the Albions 'cheaper' options - Mooy, Lemina, Wood.
Completely superfluous - Maguire.
Expensive loan deal - Abraham, Loftus-Cheek.
Or just expensive - Arnautovic...
