I don't get this angst towards ReillyNearly all of the new recruits last yearAyewAmaviGanaVertoutGestedeMost are hopeful they stayThe likes of Richards and Lescott I assume were not scouted as such as they were clearly Sherwoods influenceSo what did he actually do to justify the shit?
It also takes two sides to make a deal. The vast bulk of the money we spent last season was for Benteke whose value has halved. What has been the less wasteful business? Reilly's group or Christian Benteke's collapse in value at Liverpool?
Plus they would/will sell for more than £40 million.

Gana, Veretout and Gestede are definitely worth less than we paid for them. Throw in Traore who I'd say is worth less than we paid at this moment in time too.If Amavi has a good 6 months now he's fit again we may get our money back on him, I'd say Ayew we'd roughly break even or make a small profit.Overall we'd make a fair loss on last summer's signings from abroad.
In a world where James Tomkins has just fetched £12m I'd wouldn't rule out any ridiculous fee for our players.
