Do not understand some of the reaction, there are some simple facts
1/ We cannot have a squad full of marquee signings that all expect to play every game
2/ We need to introduce some speed as an option to come off the bench - so we need a player content to play this role - AJ did not have the speed and was not content to be a squad player
I think a lot of posters on here are sounding like the spoilt scum fans of years ago (maybe worse) - I know that sounds a bit OTT but perhaps some should just chill the fuck out.
Other worthwhilse facts to consider are:
1/ That we have spunked a lot of money on wasted players that have needed to get off the books
2/ We have set ourselves up to have a reputation of a soft touch / easy tarhet that will pay TTT transfer fee, OTT wages and pay agent fees - we needed to act to shed this reputation.
3/ We intend to comply with FFP
So - yes, we will probably try and get the occaisional top player that will bring someting we need - e.g. Hazard, but not if this means another 'bad' deal
People talk about £millions as if it was pocket money

The thing about Sinclair is he seems to have a great attitude and a great engine which, to me, means he has tremendous potential under the right tutorship.
Adam Johnson has a very questionable attitude and is pretty lazy. Those two traits of his personality will ensure he will never be the player Sinclair 'can be'.
Give me someone with a great attitude, enthusiasm and the core physical engine any day - you can teach the rest rather than someone with a bad attitude who thinks he's better than he is.

Great point

TBF, Vinnie had been tipped for great things but City helped him realise his potential. They may do that for Rodders and Sinclair although I'm not sure either had VK's early rep. I'd rather be signing a Di Maria as or only winger but, as others point out, we cannot have a squad full of world class players: there has to be some balance.
