To be honest, I always prefer us to give youth a chance over buying average players. Average doesn't mean underperforming players with great potential. Countinho and Sturridge are the latter. Aspas unfortunately seems the former.
I think they're doing fine, and I like the push to create value with the talent we already have.
But I would like to think we would be in the market for the next Suarez type signing (2011 when we signed him from Ajax).
If we qualify for the Champions League, I'd like to think they will pull off a Mkhitaryan or / and Costa next summer.
