lol - I hope we're past that phase as well. Perhaps we can become good at statement signings.
Either way, I don't want us to be signing older players.
Looking at the Villa financial results, there could be an interesting period coming up. Hammers sold Rice, Villa sold Grealish, Brighton sold 3 or 4. Before that, Leicester lost their best for years. It's clear some steady PL clubs will be selling clubs.
We're one of only a few clubs that might be able to get the best of the rest in the PL because of our financial muscle. Branthwaite, Ramsey, Ferguson etc won't be cheap but we could be in the race for them. We wouldn't have been before.
