Not sure that the algebra of that is right

You buy the players when they are available.

You make a judgement as to the value.

Would spending 5M extra (20M) on Ajer or Billing have made sense?

They're clearly working on it, and have been all window but there's loads of balances to be struck. Hopefully something will come off, but I don't think the signing of Gunn (which I think is a great move all round) will have had any bearing one way or the other.

        We spent 5M on a reserve keeper. A bit hard to take if we’ve no funds left for a position (NCFC) - thirsty work, Aug 28, 09:30:50
        
        £5m is cheap in today’s market. (NCFC) - lurd, Aug 28, 11:29:51

        He is not just a reserve though. He is likely Krul’s replacement. (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Aug 28, 11:01:07
