Yes, but that’s the reality of any transfer

Look at Bournemouth. They spent a lot more than we did, not sure what they got was worth the extra cash.

Spending more night improve the club’s chances of finding good players, but it doesn’t guarantee anything.

That £10m - £20m, or perhaps even £30m these days, market is really tough.

I guess what I’m saying is, if we had a budget of £80m in the summer, would we necessarily be better off? Maybe we would have bought Armstrong, but that wouldn’t have transformed our current position.
