Bingo.

My point exactly.

The Septic won't spend what it takes to get us competitive again.

The old board weren't oligarchs but when they knew they needed to spend big - summer '95, winter '06 - they did.

We needed an overhaul.

Yet our CH and GK cost 1/3rd of LFC's

Like when we tried to buy that striker in the Vardy summer. Proved a waste of £20m, gives us nothing and we have to then spent £100m on two shortly afterwards.

We need to accept that Mustafi was a complete waste. We need what he was meant to be - a young, world class CH. And they cost. Also, with Kos ageing, we need another top drawer one, and Papa Doc ain't it.

That's on top of Torreira.

But given the tight budget, we needed to use what we have and we're wasting two of our most creative, end product players in Rambo and Ozil.

It's crap.
