I've been delighted with most every signing made so far over the past few years, Cantwell though wouldn't be great.
He's already 23. He is decent at best but how much will he improve. He isn't going to be a player to push us forwards I don't think.
Bailey isn't even in the country so he won't be available surely. Has he had a pre season with Leverkusen?
Traore and Sanson will be out too then.
Assuming Ings starts as he's probably had a full pre season
So we will have spent roughly £100m so far. The common acceptance is that's the money for Grealish.
We have so far spent that since promotion each summer. If so I wonder how much is left after Ings and Bailey to fill central midfield and maybe winger gaps.
Odd in that he is 30 and injury prone. Doesn't fit the "plan" that said I highly doubt this is a panic signing. It's just timed to offset what is coming soon
And it means nothing. They just refuse to play and force a move.
The same will happen again.Take your pick from Martinez, Konsa, Bailey etc whoever. Next summer it will.be someone else.
