If we're gonna bring in an experienced striker, can see Koeman trying to get Huntelaar in from Schalke, contract expires in the summer and is dutch too
 

As opposed to now when we throw £27M at a poor player like Bolasie and £9M at a washed up Williams and £10M on a speculative buy like Lookman.

While spending £7m on the signing of the season and spending £24m on the best midfielder outside of the top six sides...
 
Can picture the scene

Steve Walsh. - 'Ronald, it's a crucial summer. I've a worldwide scouting network that is second to none, countless data on players from every major league in world football, and a dossier prepared on every top player with the attributes that you like in a player'

Koeman - 'Shall we just spunk £30 million on Sissoko'?

Walsh. - 'Aye go on'

I dont think bolasie is poor, and with the cost of Williams times have more on, its like saying i remember a time when you could buy a house for 25k instead of 250k look a shelvey he went to newcastle for 14m times have changed prices have gone up.

also with the lookman deal yes 10m is alot of a 1st div player but you have to gamble sometimes you look at the amount other clubs splash out on potential who thought martial was a silly amount of money 36m that could go upto 58m. football the beautiful game hey lol

yeah i think we dodged a bullet with the sissoko deal, looking back on it i feel it was more of a panic buy as we had 3 transfers that all broke down and mosh was on the phone to jim saying watch this space were making a real statement .. :hayee:

You missed out the bit where Ronald goes off to play golf.

Hah maybe.

TBH, while i'm not (and wasn't at the time) devastated we missed out on him, I do think he'd have fit our side well.

Our midfield lacked any height or power and Sissoko does bring that. He's been used as a winger at Spurs and that'll never be his best role.

That being said, in hindsight, we dodged a bullet.
