At the risk of mentioning Lima and engaging the diwnvotes, I think Jacob really is number one, and as implied by Hymenoptera above, if that is the case, there is no way we can justify Lima as number two, even if he is on seventy five percent of what he was rumoured to be on, the rumoured salary was a fat wad of wonga by any reckoning. If Shields and Lima go there might be a bit of money to go about.
I suspect that after every awful performance there will be a clarion call for more spending, whilst after every win people will be happier with low key signings and academy promotions. I would like us to sign in the weaker positions, thinking back to guys like Wentzel and Betsen, what a massive difference they made. They came for the right reasons, of course, and I would like that to be the case with any Sarries former players. That said, there might be a bit of disenchantment about the great satans of barnet, and if they disperse they might turn Queen's evidence and lift the lid on the unsavoury episode. Beneath the veneer something very rotten has lurked and multiplied for a long time.
