Typical response. I wrote of a journeyman who who would do a good job and you turn it into a ‘carthorse’!
Potential is fine at the right cost. We would not be prudent spending £11m and I guess £50k a week on somebody who might come good. That really wouldn’t build great team spirit! We need players who can deliver, not might do.
