Player Valuation: £80m
Well if we get a younger central midfielder when Barry is perfectly capable of doing a good job there then we have to sacrifice either a striker (we own one, and on evidence we've seen he's not very good) or a creative attacking player (we have two, and an ageing pienaar) as we can't afford much.
So the answer to us not scoring, is to concede more goals? The solid foundation of Barry and McCarthy isn't to blame, it's the fact we've got people like osman and Naismith in front of them. The issue is in the front 4 and that's where the money needs to be spent. If we don't sign Barry we need to replace him, which will cost, meaning one less striker or no attacking creative midfielder
Sacrifice Barry.
