Woodcote Royal As it's pantomime time, Oh Yes It Is!!!
This mentality is all part of the RFC Wrist Slitters Charter.
If the asking price was still £15m we wouldn't get a sniff even if we were prepared to break the bank.
Yet, having paid the Premiership equivalent of 2 sets of kit for a player with these credentials, we can always rely on some of the same fans who got trampled in the stampede to trash the signings of players such as Dave Kitson, to be here with their firemens hoses pooring cold water on it.
It's a bit of reality, that's all.
Like you said, if he was seen as a £15m player by either his selling club, other potential suiters or those clubs that were
reportedly interested in him in the past then we wouldn't have had a chance of signing him for £600k.
Hopefully he's got the ability to improve our side and live up to some of the potential that generated that interest a couple of years ago. I'm still a bit surprised we've used up one of the 25 spots in the squad on a player with no experience of English football when McDermott's been saying for the last few weeks how we need more Premier League experience.
