But this doesn't alter my point though?
We pretty much shop in a similar ball park to Brentford as well (shamelessly) Gray and Johnson are two of the players Frank wanted in recent seasons.
Yes that's true but also there lies the problem. We shop in the same damn place as brentford!!! We are one of the richest clubs in the world, go sign players in a higher bracket. I'm all for young talent but simply doing that doesn't work, it never gets fully realised and the best ones get picked off after years of waiting for others to mature.
See romero now, porro next year, then bergvall and vdv. We will never get the best of these players unless u add already established top pros.
Same old, same old
