For me, I hate that idea. And I've brought this up a while ago...

But I'd like to see the balance sheet.

Some of these players cost fees to start (Adshead, Riley) and they cost wages as well, I imagine, a signing on lump. Do the nominal fees really balance all that? We are throwing a hell of a lot of s**t at the wall to constantly be told we're too poor to stretch for certain signings...

Players like Emi, no problem, signed for the first team worked out fine. Sorensen the same but it hasn't landed. But there's an honesty to it at least.
