Out of cups in first round we enter would not be good.

This is a 38 game league not 46 like the Championship. It is geared up for half the league playing in Europe as well as the domestic cups. We have only 3 league games per month for August, September, October, March and April.

A significant number of players will be bored with the low level of involvement, as will the fans!

I am saying minimum expectations for me to be successful of course I want to win every competition but realistically just finish 17th that works for me this season and build on that

Going way above player's values to secure some signings may not turn out to be the brightest approach. We shall see.

Transfermarkt is usually a pretty good gauge of a players value but I don't think we're overpaying.

Diarra - valued €20m we paid an initial €25m
Sadiki - valued €12m we paid an initial €15m

Both are about to play a season of premier league football, which should see their perceived value increase.

Also bear in mind you are competing with other clubs, if you try getting a bargain, you'll miss out

10 - 15% above isn't really "way above", and we only have the word of Leeds fans that we're bidding over what Leeds think is the right price.

And if we do buck the system and stay up?

Will that 5-7 million euros "overpayment" seem stupid or good business and actually a drop in the ocean compared to Premier League survival money?

Time will tell whether this gamble pays off - but it seems infinitely better than spunking £15 million on the like of Rudoni.
