Desperate for a striker but spends £15m on midfielder that wasn't needed? sounds about right!
have to agree with this, I think Joe Allen is a nice little player but think it was madness on the manager's behalf to shell out that much on a non area priority. I think we would of been alrite with Gerrard, Shelvey and with Sahin coming in, Jay Spearing although not the answer would still of been ok as cover for those positions, like I say think it was a signing which should never of been made considering the dire state of some other positions, we seem to be paying the price now that injuries and suspensions are starting to bite in.
