I think a mixture of the two.. Do i think we'd have spent 24m if we were higher up the table? No.
We probably would have spent it across a few players to strengthen the squad and remove the drab. But i think our position and talking to GH has convinced him what we all knew we needed. A Striker AND get rid of the drab, it just reamins to be seen what happens in the summer, a few more in over the jan window will be fantastic. Then maybe in the summer we'd only need a GK and a midfielder [presuming we get a LB, CB, Adam this window and keep Downing and Young]
I believe we've had the pot and a few million (10-15m?) from Randy aslong as we save on wages
