I like the presumption that paying a lot means he's going to be amazing

He could be utter s**te. Anyone can go and splash a s**t load of cash (assuming they've got it) but it doesn't give rise to success in the championship necessarily.

Also, we actually have quite a few match winners in our squad already (wes, Pritchard, oliveira, Murphy x 2).

We need to build around that to give a properly balanced squad rather than needing to sign 5 new star players.
