This is exactly why I'm on the edge of my seat ATM. In fact I even flapped a little a couple of post back.
This club is growing every day, and what we have to understand when we go into transfers now we are competing with Munich/Madrid and Barcelona etc.
Once we have established ourselves as a player at that level and can beat those teams to their targets, that is when we move up to the next level. I don't think we have done that yet, and we are still behind those 3 clubs just about.
We have got ourselves into the same ring as them over the last few years, we have danced around the ropes to get a feeling, we have took a couple of jabs. We need to land the blow now and beating Munich to this level of transfer means we are now fighting them full on and that is what we need to move us forward and start challenging to win the champions league.
We have clearly put Bayern in a position they didn't want or expect. We have put a proper punch in and it's about how they respond now.
Like I said before, whilst you always want your club to be a players number 1 choice, it rarely happens.
I've got fucking everything crossed. This is now a statement signing and we need to make it.
