Not being in the bottom three is a boost.

interesting comparison with the Houlier era when pragmatism superseded longer term playing style.
They also bought Bent.
The questions are, will Smith cease to be a purist and will we buy a striker?

Would imagine that Smith realises he needs another striker but how much does a decent one cost these days ?  £40M upwards for a class striker I would think

And even then you could end up with Joelinton.
