While KJ isn't exactly one for telling us the truth it's not hard to see there can easily be some element of truth in what he's saying there though, clubs know we have money to spend so quotes to us could well be higher than you'd usually expect. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but who could blame the club for refusing to be bumfucked on inflated transfer fees just because we've got a few quid knocking around? I don't know the ins and outs of who we've inquired about or what we've been quoted but I'd be happy if the club refuse to waste money now while we're going nowhere then invest in the summer.
Yes, we need players, but we aren't desperate enough to happily spunk ridiculous fees on players who would just bump the numbers up as opposed to genuinely improving the first team. We've done that enough already on the likes of Saville, Coady and Byrne (not that I believe Byrne is just filler but that's how he's being 'used'). I'm not defending the club's transfer policy either, it's been largely woeful for the best part of two years now, but surely while we're all lambasting them for wasting money on the aforementioned players we should be glad we're not going to do it all again now then regret it in August?
