This is professional sport not some boy racer whim - you do not go out and pay big money because you want a player you do it because you think the squad needs it - especially if you are GH - so they got Buderus because they wanted him - no they got Buderus because McClennan wanted to play with two hookers so they needed another player of Diskin's quality. GH tried to sign Soliola why because the squad needed another centre if the intention was to convert Smith to be a centre why did GH try and sign a centre? it was because the centre didn't materialise that Smith all of sudden became a centre - a position he had never played before!!!
It's just the same David. If you're going to be as hard nosed about it as you suggest, then we need an awful lot less. Mid table finishes and 10k crowds could come with playing salary costs cut by £500K.
It's a want. A want that came because a good deal was on offer. Once that deal has gone, it doesn't mean you still have a need.
