How many players has BR signed? Lots of posts about taking Deila's team so far but think he has bought too many "squad" players. Benyou, Kouassi, Gamboa, DeVries, Hayes, ? Need to get some in that will be 1st picks for starting 11?

Kouassi is a strange one i was told it was his lack/ grasp of the English language that gave BR cause for concern . Benyou has a chance? the others for me are'nt going to take us forward.

I think we as a club get too obsessed with buying players for the future that we forget about the present. I would like to see us occasionally buy a player who is better than we already have regardless of how old they are.
Yesterday I read on here that we are interested in Dundee's centre half. I must admit I know very little about him, but for all we complain about our defence, they have conceded a lot less goals than Dundee have, is it really likely that Dundee's Centre half is going to help us to stop conceding 7 goals to PSG?
We have made a lot of money over the last couple of seasons, I don't see why that shouldn't let us add a bit of quality to our team as well as building for the future.

Problem is Gerry its extremely hard to buy better than we have cos of the price, I reckon it would take 6-10m to buy a better player and that's being generous and then the wages.
I said before Spurs who are a great team to watch after last season would find it hard to be better simply cos their 1st 11 is so strong that it would cost 60-100m to get a better player, they simply don't pay that kind of money.
Look at Everton for eg, got 90m for Lukaku and didn't replace or cudnt, they are now a struggling team.
Its just went bonkers mate as only 3-4 yrs ago we could a spent 3-4m and get a CL player now it costs 30-40m min.
