I bet Fenty has a self satisfied look on his face - " I have had whole squads cheaper than that..."

I wonder if we are ever going to get a marquee signing, perhaps as a thank to the fans for putting the millions more we have put into the club (and not asking for it back) or are we hoping Jolley can perform miracles with no transfer fees to be paid?
