Wish I had your precognition powers. A rare gift.
And with regards Grabban - did he truly want to sign for the Albion, or was he using us for increased pay at Yournemouth?
Of course he wanted to sign, and we wanted him. Young, proven goalscorer with seemingly zero baggage. But, we wouldn't match his wages or contract length so let him walk. His improved deal at Bournemouth was hardly astronomical figures and i'm suprised more eyebrows weren't raised at the time.
Put simply we missed out him because we couldn't afford him, (even with all of AMEX's millions..............if you believe that) and as a result it is being dressed up for PR under the "FFP and Value for Money" umbrella. So again, the OP correct in my mind. He doesn't need to display hard facts it should be pretty obvious to the more observant amongst us. You just need to join the dots!
