Normally, I agree 100% with what you have written. BUT, this year seems different. Forget about Chelsea; they never met a transfer window they didn't wheel and deal in.

The EPL champions for the last two seasons have already spent 200M, each! They are now free to muddy the waters with their own version of long distance calls. (insert smiley emoji) Oh yeah we're interested in Sesko. Let's see, Arsenal offered 80M, how about we offer 90M? But we can't meet your wage demand... You see where this seems to be going. I read that Liverpool want Isaak.

Really? Probably not, but it sure makes the sheiks think about offering him a club structure altering salary bump. BTW, if we offered him 15M per year for 7 years would that be outrageous? Offer the Magpies 210M, and your yearly hit is only 45M. (I think!)

Isn't this what we need? Not a, maybe his goals will get scored in the EPL. Who knows?

Now is a time for decisive action. Let's get the trip to the EPL/CL double rolling!
