A limited budget means you need to spend it well. That's why DM dithered over spending the extra million ( literally) on Essien and Kuyt and looked elsewhere for a keeper. That then meant we lost out on top talent. He had the money, he didn't spend it. Fact.
Alright Kenneth Williams!!Oh behave.
There are many negative things we can attribute to DM, but his record in the transfer market with a shoestring budget was outstanding.
He's well known as dithering dave. If you disagree that's fine.
