Was Christian Eriksen not a vanity signing? Without his signing they were heading for the drop
Really don't think Eriksen was a vanity signing, the guy is quality, been through and survived a life changing trauma and Brentford needed his style and gave him an opportunity, it paid off, kept them up, job done.
It would only cost that if they both agree to play for free and have no signing on fee.

My guess is we will see another 3-5 players come in between now and the end of the window. Mostly loans and frees.
Would love us to get some quality up top like Terrier, but it will never happen. Really like Broja too, so hope that happens. We need goals in the team.
Midfield still needs a lot of work too.

Michael Keane. You just never specified WHICH goal he'd be scoring on

Shows how much of a hole we are in financially. Bringing Gana and Not Arsedly back is grim for me.

Stick him up front
He’s meant to be the best finisher at the club in training
Mate. Come on.
Sadly suspect you're right though. Spending what little cash we have on Dwight McNeil when we need a 6, an 8, a wide right forward and a backup CF... demoralising, to say the least.
The McNeil transfer, if true, has wound me right up.
Yes, with the new 5-sub rule we have the scope to get more game time for more players. Yes, to do that we need better players in the squad.
However, the preferred way to do this is to sign better players than the ones we currently have. That way the existing starters that aren't quite what we need (for example Coleman, Allan, Doucoure and Gray) get pushed down to the subs bench, displacing worse players out of the match day squad entirely.
McNeil doesn't do that. He just sits on the bench while Gordon and Gray play whatever wide left role is needed.
At least Vinagre (another new face that isn't good enough to displace anyone in the starting XI) is only a loan. McNeil is costing us a transfer fee, and therefore indirectly diminishes our ability to sign the CMs and right-sided wings/forwards we need.
Not the player's fault that the club has decided to offer money for him, but it's a very questionable transfer IMHO. I can't even see how it provides cover in any particular position that would allow us to sell another player and bring in more money than we're paying for McNeil.
