We seem to mostly be going for young players of high quality that could claim to be good enough to play for bigger clubs than us, or at least for clubs in a better position than us, ie CL.
The trouble at the moment seems, to me, to be persuading those players to come to us while we are in this position of potential.
We have also been linked to a few older players that I dismissed at first for being too old for our vision but I now think this could be a good idea. We need the kind of players that will really make a difference and push us on into a team capable of competing for a place in Europe. It could be that an older player that perhaps would not be pushing for a move to a top 6 club, such as Defoe or similar, could make that difference, so that next season we are in a more appealing position to sign those younger players.
