He'd be an insanely expensive substitute mainly.

Haha you act like we're going to keep Rom past the summer.

Can you watch the kids Friday while me and Mrs Nigh go see Rogue One?

I am off to see it in an hour!
Excited.

Im sure Walsh is having a look, I mean theres the links to that Lookman fella, but even hes gonna cost us 11m, could we find a cheaper player in Europe or South America? Hell yeah, we could buy 5 or 6 for that.

Despite my words, I do see the "value" in buying youth, but after Martinez spending 100m on 22 players, its only the big signings that have come good, Lukaku and McCarthy, think currently we are looking at mainly players that can come in and hit the ground running.

Im sure we will look to the future with certain signings if not in Jan, then certainly the Summer and going forward.

Holgate was a superb signing.
Tbf Galloway has put some good performances in too.
I like us trying to find young British talent, plus it helps out clubs in the lower leagues who are financially stuck.

£100m on 22 players isn't much like.

No its not at all.

But when you factor in wages, its quite a decent outlay, I mean I worked out that Niasse, Kone, McGeady and Gibson will cost us around 40m in wages, for utterly nothing.

Not to mention it is pretty hard to get rid of them. Guess who gave the new contract to Gibbo though?

I did give the boys Holgate and Galloway some praise.

Well it wasnt Koeman, cos he signed the contract before he became our Manager.

That's a bit harsh. I mean, two of them are complete turds. But the other two might not be entirely pants if they were healthy long enough to prove otherwise.

I only included Gibsons latest 2 year contract, cos at the point he signed it, its clear he didnt deserve it.

Kone has just had an utter nightmare there for Sunderland, swerve him and his rat ways.

At least they satisfied the home grown ru................

I honestly think that was a prime reason personally.

Lets say for example we got our targets in the summer, Witsel, Kone, Koubs, Perez and others, I think we would have been selling a few, like McCarthy, Jags maybe, even Barry and The Clev, so thats the only reason I can think somebody gave him the contract, to allow wiggle room.
