Indeed. McNally has been too shrewd for too long to waste money now.

Quag may represented one of the bigger risks (price and wages VS age, unfamiliarity with Prem) but Hooper and Ricky have been got very cheap in comparison to equivalents and will retain value in a couple of years if not greatly increase offsetting/negating the risk of Quag.

Hughton obviously sees the need for a maverick forward who likes to shoot (Toivonen first, now Quag) and I reckon McNally knows we can afford it.
