We had 5 CFs at the time. I don't agree with pulis usually but he slated monks spending by questioning why he bought Braithwaite / Britt and Fletcher when we already had Bamford and Rudy.
Thats 5 expensive forwards on big money to play one position.
That said we sold the only one you'd want to keep
.
I heard one of the reasons we're that he was on big wages and we could turk down 10mil. That simply don't stack up when you then spend 21mil and loan Hugill for 2mil and Besic on big wages.
The fact is pulis never fancied him. The writing was on the wall as soon as he was dropped in the playoffs for Rudy despite being our in form forward.
