Étienne Capoue - Spurs - £10m
Stevan Jovetic - Man City - £22m
Marouane Fellaini - Man Utd - £27m
Erik Lamela - Spurs - £30m
The difference between them teams and ours is that they can afford to make a mistake or two on a player, because they have great players that can play in those positions. We desperately needed a striker and the money was pissed up against the wall on cornflop. It's really fukt us over signing this dud and could be the reason we go down, cheers malks
Yeah I agree that we needed to make better use of the money but its not all Acorns fault after all we still have the other forwards Malky signed at the club. How many of this lot could be regarded as success stories?
Campbell
Odemwingie
Bellamy
Smith
Mason
Velakonjia
Helguson
Gestede
Maynard
Cornelius
There's probably more than I can remember. Doesn't make great reading tbh

If you believe the rumours Man City are looking to move him on.
Acorn and Fellaini have also been injured for large parts of the season, they are still regarded as flops
