Well for me the question is "Why!!!??????".

If you had £6M would YOU spend it on Rudi Guestede?

The great news that a Boro have just confirmed that they are a regulation rival by signing a sh!t striker?

I always liked Rudy. Mackay bombing him out like that was utterly stupid.

28 years old, two good seasons in his entire career.

He's probably a decent enough back up but I'd be quite disappointed if we'd signed him.

I thought the same. One less for us to worry about.

Crazy signing IMO. The gaffer up there doesn't like the look of Jordan Rhodes it seems.

Makes Taylor worth about £20m at current prices.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Let's hope we don't go buying the cart horse Rhodes.

Aye, I was by no means advocating that we go after him.

It's clear that Premier League managers don't like the look of him as he never made the move in his earlier years.

I think that we, and HJ in particular, has to be mindful of is the increase in the cost of players in general since the massive TV deal. This is the world we are now in. Mid table PL sides are bidding 15-20 million on a regular basis in an attempt to improve their squad. If old Rudy is a £6, 000, 00 player in today's market we cannot say that he is not worth it. That's the market value as a consequence of inflation brought on by the TV deal. In short, it's the real world of the Premier League. If we are serious in wanting to remain in the Premier League we have to improve the playing squad dramatically and pay realistic prices which reflect the reality of today's market. HJ cannot get by on £2, 000, 000 centre backs as you get Amat and Mikey boy for that figure.

Before we have the chorus of getting into financial difficulty think of what remaining in the Premier League will bring end each year and how much we will lose by not being there. Speculate to accumulate is the way to go in my opinion.

Nah, not having that one bit.

When we got him, he was pretty raw - took a lot of time to get used to the pace of British football, bit like Zohore at the moment for us.

Mackay started by giving him sub appearances then froze him out completely. Loaned him out to Blackburn with permanent fee agreed - another of his transfer mistakes imo.

He's shown that with the right service he can be a handful and score goals. £6m for that in the Prem is almost a bargain. Has far more workrate than Rhodes anyway...

£6m is nothing for a striker who scores goals in this league.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

I don't really care what you think

But on this occasion

Makes it even better that you sold him for 200k and he's worth 6 million

Last season Leicester nailed the "you have to spend to compete" belief. Until we foolishly started doing things differently we did it every season too.

To survive and thrive in the Premier League you don't need to spend the same idiotic millions on players as every other club does. You need a capable, experienced manager working to an established style alongside competent coaches. You also need a well run and resourced scouting system out there looking for players who fit it. There's plenty of value out there without feeling the need to spend £12m on Championship fullbacks.

Where we've gone wrong is in abandoning that established system, hiring unsuitable managers and coaches to run it and putting all our recruitment in the hands of a couple of assclowns.

Well, being fair Leicester's tactic of "keeping Vardy after his racism having canned yoof players for theirs, have Vardy dive for soft penalties, have luck from refereeing decisions all year round and capitalise on the bigger teams all having poorish seasons along with having interesting finances to get round FFP" hasn't really been replicated this season, tbf.

To survive and thrive, I'd agree with you though you'd need to define thrive - if you meant regular mid table finishes, I'd agree. Leicester's title win is just a statistical outlier. Where they are now is a better reflection of their ability.
