Maybe slightly off the REAL topic of the thread, but after reading the last few posts...... personally I'd like the club to keep on doing what they're doing now - getting quality players in on bargain fees, and signing (relatively) unknown players with a lot to prove - rather than paying huge transfer fees for so-called PROVEN quality.
The reasons?
Firstly, we will never go to the wall because of over committing financially
Secondly - and ALMOST as important, is that IMO there's nothing better than competing against the big spenders and holding our own when playing a team that has cost probably 10x what ours has! Those wins we have had v Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd in recent years have been so sweet!
