I’m not missing any point. I completely appreciate we need to buy young prospects for the future. (But also, if you read a lot of the comments those advocating for him are making, he is already top class, unplayable etc - he isn’t, which is why we are linked to him)
However, we can’t loan him, meaning we will have to shell what, £40m minimum on him? We are cash strapped and there is clearly still psr concerns flying around.
We also need a goal scorer for now, not for one in another 100 games time. And if we shell every penny we have on him, then how do we resolve any of the other positions we are desperate for and how do get the goals we actually need?
The summer will likely be a different ball game finances wise, but right now, we need players coming in that are going to do the business for us and ensure we stay up.
