"Worth"? What does that even mean though? My house isn't worth what I paid for it - it's a relatively small pile of bricks with a roof on it, yet it was what I had to pay based on my situation, the market and where I wanted to be, so I bit my tongue and paid it. If Buendia puts up the kind of numbers he did during his PL season with Norwich last then based on all those moving factors he's almost certainly worth it to us.He’s not worth 40 million though is he. We really shouldn’t be paying that for him .
And yes we will need a shed load of money , we will need to be willing to spend. That’s what i take (their words not mine) ‘big plans for the club’ to mean.
Mr F has long said that we think small time at AVFC. Are these owners the real deal. We will see. I’m told they are. Our current recruitment policy if it maintains from last season and the season before ongoing doesn’t suggest a real challenge top end of the table to me.
I don't understand the rest of your argument other than it's "I disagree on this player", unless you think £40m is small-time, despite it being a third club record in as many summers.
