Re: ARTICLE: Obafemi becomes a Lion
It wasn't a punt last season, we made £70 million and spent £40 million twice the annual turnover of the likes of Blackburn Rovers. If we had a transfer budget twice the annual turnover of the average PL side we would probably be challenging the top 6. But none of that really makes sense of loaning...
