To be fair we got him half price because he was injured. They turned down �35mill for him last summer.
The midfield hasn't been the problem; neither has scoring goals. In our first dozen matches we scored more goals than any season in the clubs history.
The problem has been in defence. We've still scored more goals at home than anyone, but only won 4 out of those 7 home games.
We're having to rely on a �1.5mill defender, bought in the last couple of days of the window, who simply isn't good enough but was all we could get at the price. The question is why we only had �1.5mill to spend when two weeks earlier we'd bid �8mill for Hunter as a CB. The answer is the Americans took nearly �30mill out of the transfer kitty during that time to pay against interest on debt.
