I suspect that Osayi-Samuel is the only one of the three we can afford. I also think Sarr may have more attractive options than us. We have less resources than most and have to live with that whether we like it or not. Always makes transfer windows likely to be a disappointment. We did land Eze though which was a minor miracle and we were probably helped by the fact that we were his first choice.
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that. |

Unfortunately, they seem to follow a practice of investing just enough to keep their various franchises in the big-time whilst raking in the excess profits not needed to achieve that aim. In other words, the money's probably there but it won't be used if we are likely to remain in the PL without their having to spend it. That's how I see it. I may. of course, be wrong.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Transfers can be 'Off', then 'On', then 'Off' again and negotiations can be complex and protracted and of course can ultimately lead to abject disappointment.A great deal of twists and turns!

Indeed, some many twists and turns but some still feel inclined to slag off those who give information
