Yes theo money is important but there are a lot of players in the Bournemouth team and the Leicester side that were relatively cheap, wilson (remember him?) Cost 3mil which dont get me wrong it is a lot of money especially for us but again it isnt a great deal of money for someone with his ability and attributes. As for Leicester, vardy was about 2mil i think, mahrez was about 1.5, morgan, drinkwater ect was also cheap. Its only recent that they started spending vast amounts. They both have built a squad.

As for us, the main point I'm saying is that there is a lot of talent out there that is cheap especially abroad. We have built a rather young core of players like lolley, bunn, billing ect and this summer is to me about adding real quality to the ranks to go around them and people say it costs a lot of wonga to do so, there is (to me anyway) enough evidence to show that it is possible to get that quality on the cheap, you have to look where others wont (german div 2/lower, austria, swiss ect) and just to boot we have a manager who has a lot more knowledge of some of those leagues and that to me is a huge bonus.

No pressure ... but there is quite high expectations from me in our transfer dealings this summer.

You have fallen into the trap of looking at transfer money and not wages. That is where the real money was spent and both thumbed their noses at the joke that is FFP in that regard. That is where we won't spend the money. Its got sod all to do with transfer fees.
