Luckily you're not the man taking the risks.I am sure that could be said at every club, it is a risk you take when trying to improve your team.

To be fair I agree that if we are to improve on our strikers, and we all accept we do, £25m and £60k per week isn’t outrageous
What is outrageous is paying that for a bloke who has managed 9 goals in 71 appearances for a team that is top 3rd prem and therefore you would expect to create more chances
That’s a goals to game ratio of 1:8
Last season
McB- 1:6
Billy - 1:8
Mousse- 1:5
Bear in mind many of Billy’s games he came on late
Also worth noting Deeney, who many have scoffed at in this section managed 1:2.7 - would cost maybe a fifth in transfer fee and last season was on £65k a week, which with a pay cut probably kicking in following relegation would possibly be cheaper wages wise too.
Too similar to Mousse for me, temperamental and can go missing when it’s not going his way

You're whining about wages aren't you?Well to progress you have to invest, but typical short sighted so called fans constantly whining about wages
We improved year on year without breaking our structure and grow the wage bill slowly and in a managed fashion each season. There’s no way we should blow the discipline for a young forward who’s twice failed to establish himself in a good side, or even return a decent number of goals per game at either.I am sure that could be said at every club, it is a risk you take when trying to improve your team.

You talk as if blowing the budget is the only way, despite significant evidence to the contrary.
Like a young kid who’s not delivered at 2 clubs already?I am not saying we have to go out and spend gung ho but invest wisely on players that CW believes can make a real difference to our team.

He's been playing as 10 for Leicester this season often, so his goal per game ratio is far less meaningful.
Funnily enough, he has a lot of similar qualities to McGoldrick - another man not to be judged on his goal per game ratio.
Fair point, however....
If we are looking for a goal scorer, he isn’t it
He created 3 assists last season again Goldies 2, so are we going to spunk £25m and £60k pw for 1 assist a season??
Either way It doesn’t add up does it?!
Not a Pukki fan but he would get Into double figures for less

One man's investing, is another man's spunking money without having a clue and fucking the future of the club.

We got Berge last year without selling out our principles. What’s wrong with continuing down that route?
He’s definitely more McG than Moose...playing as no 10 for Leicester. Good in possession with an eye for a pass. Expect him to have a breakout season if he gets a run of games next year. Think he’s undervalued by Leicester like Demerai Gray - would like him as well, but we’d have to transform him into a CF because he’s a bit too wingery for us.
Every player would need a rise to equivalent keep spirit, all on contracts, it's our first year back. If it doesn't work we are lumbered.How is spending 60k risking things?
That's what he has done before and will do again.I am not saying we have to go out and spend gung ho but invest wisely on players that CW believes can make a real difference to our team.
Tbh I would have him in PL this season, I just don't think we can afford his wages.Contract expires in the summer. Out of favour at Leicester with Daka and Cannon getting into the 11 over him.
Could be well worth a punt in the Championship if we go down with Archer leaving. He's not that old at 27.
5 goals and an assist in 19 games this season.
5 goals and 5 assists in the Premier League last season.
Interesting shout. I imagine he's on pretty huge wages unfortunately. Screams Saudi Pro League in the summer, to me as he's got a relatively big reputation.
