Ricky van Wolfswinkel cost £9m. That's all you need to know. I honestly dont think we need strikers once Benteke and Kozak are fit. Now creativity that is a different matter.

Surely everyone knows we don't need a striker? Why do people keep pointing it out?

They're buying Borini for 14 million but as he was there on loan last year that's not going to strengthen them.
Quote from: BoskoDjembaSalifou on July 18, 2014, 10:00:42 PMSunderland have bought Borini for £14m. West Brom have bought Ideye Brown for £10m. My point isn't about the players, more the fact that they're showing ambition.I think that's a valid point.It's not so much about the specific club or players, but they're showing a willingness to spend to acquire players they feel will make them better.We, on the other hand, look like we're not spending anything.I find it hard to imagine us spending 10m on a player in the near future, I know that much.Spending big money on players doesn't guarantee you'll do well, but not spending it pretty much guarantees you won't.

Poor Joleon thinks he was sold a pup...http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/joleon-lescott-unsettled-west-brom-3881958?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed
Albion are understood to have completed a club record £10million move for Dynamo Kiev striker Brown Ideye, but his capture is in stark contrast to the £12million signing of Enner Valencia by West Ham, another club that courted Lescott before he chose the Baggies.

Why can't we spend £14m on one player?
With the cut price deals we have done so far, I think/ hope the intention is to put the bulk of any actual funds towards midfield. One player in the centre of the park in the £8 million + bracket and things won't look so bleak. If we overlook that area again Lambert should be sent to Highcroft.
