    Well, obviously. We just couldn't really afford to buy a proper one from the transfer market barrel and never got lucky with a suitable one falling off the London Colney academy tree.

    Should have signed Higuain at the time. Silly.

    But understandable that we didn't; massive risk, if money is an issue.

    Özil Made far more sense, from that point of view. There's about a million times less pressure on fanny-dancing fairies than there is on talisman goalscorers.

    I think he ended up costing Napoli the same as we offered Liverpool for Suarez so money alone was not the issue. We felt wronged by RM putting up the price. Sometimes in (modern) football you just have to pay up.

    I can’t even remember which one of our list of strikers we made do with at the time. Giroud?

    No, you bloody don't! You go without or you make do with what you have or you get something else.

    Just have to pay up indeed. No wonder the world is in such a mess

    Alright. Yes, selective, I admit it. But the point is, you never have to just pay up. Never.

    And please don't kill me.
