Or we had already brought Soyuncu and Bencovic and the plan was to use these two. People are moaning on here about not giving youth a chance, so what is the point in signing younger players and then not using them?
The club isn't yet in a position to buy ready made Premier league players at £50 million plus like the top 4 do.
Its much more enjoyable to sell a player for £80 million and replace him with someone unknown for less who turns out to be equally as good or better.
The club is building in the right way, Training ground, manager, stadium expansion, look where we were 10 years ago to where we are now so look forward another 10 years and whom is to say we won't be the club that pays £80 million for a player.
