Blackburn spend 8 million on Rhodes and we are supposed to be the big spenders?

buying more scratch cards increases the odds of you having a winning ticket

But not of winning more ... the odds are unchanged, you've simply had more bets and evened out the irregularities of chance to be more like the average win ratio (probably about 60%)

Desperation signing, and we don't even know if he will step up this season, take CMS for example, didn't exactly replicate his league one form last season!

We are supposed to be the big spenders of the division and Blackburn have showed they mean business by paying out 8 million on Rhodes. Where is our ambition?

We are spending little money on unknown players eg.

1 million on Matty James

1 million on De Lat,

1 million + on Vardy

Free - Whitebread

Knockout - Undisclosed

Futacs - Free

Where is are ambition?

The ambition is long term and it's clearly there. Pearson is smart - he develops good young players and gets the best out of them. Spending low doesn't mean you're not getting quality - look at Vardy, Knockaert, Marshall, Drinkwater. All clearly very good players with high potential, low cost and relatively low wages. They want to do the best for the team, will play their hardest to prove themselves and will want to progress.

Buying an expensive player means nothing. Players can have a lucky season which boosts their price and expected wages, then they move club and turn out to be distinctly average. Look at Mills - £5 million? High earner, played bad football, then got shipped out early at a massive loss to the club. He's just 1 example.

Pearson could buy in a £7 million player, but then that's £7 million more we owe. Plus inflated wages. No thanks.
