Grant

Said it dozens of times the money we had to spend was enough to make us competitive, especially as we got Pereira & Robinson on the cheap

Lazy option is to continually blame the owner & budget. It’s part of the story, but we broke our transfer record twice but when we let Hegazi go and brought in Ivanovic we had managed to make our squad worse than the previous season

Transfer strategy at best misguided & at worst incompetent

Love how Dowlimg gets the blame for Grant. He didn't want to sign him, considered him a massive waste of money
Bilic wouldn't accept any other striker target offered to him. Dowlong should have told Slav to fuck off and just signed someone else, Diagne was one of the options then.

Given what happened when we signed players that Bilic didn't want before, I doubt that would have worked out well..

Then again, if Bilic had completely frozen out the alternative striker he'd have probably only offered marginally less than Grant managed anyway!
