TBH I'd rather us buy British. Would I prefer Ngog on the bench or wickham I'd take wickham. A hungry English lad who's got a bright future ahead of him. Ngogs got potential but the lack of passion and effort just can't be put up with.at the very least we expect players to give 100 percent and wickham will do that.
We've always been priced out of up and coming Englishman and then up paying at least double the price when they become proven. Kennys not stupid he'll pay what he thinks there worth and no more.
We've had years of cheyrous, pongolles, and numerous Spanish youngsters, I'm delighted kenny is going down the british route
We've certainly missed the boat in the past, most recently Gary Cahill when he moved from Villa to Bolton, Daniel Sturridge, Man City to Chelsea and Adam Johnson, Boro to Man City.
The prices being bandied about though are just crazy. Will we get real value for money or as technically and tactically proficient player if we sign, let's say, Jordon Henderson, as we would if we spent the same amount on a European or South American player?
Bottom line, I'm not bothered where a player comes from, and as I've said many times, I'd get much more joy from unearthing another Hyypia, Arbeloa, Reina, Alonso etc at those sorts of prices than going out and spending £20M+ each time on 'names'.
