We got alot of wingers. Now we don't want to pay 2.5 m for a good 1 cause we got enough wingers?? Why go for another 1 then.! We pay 2.5 for le fondre. We pay kenwyne 37 k a week when he's the laziest player I've ever seen. We pay 1 mill for adeyemi who doesn't play! But when there's a genuine player who's worth that amount of cash we bail out. Love City alot but god where a strange club.

Was thinking that, someone must have heard the transfer fee wouldn't be that high

I totally agree, Russell is a quality player and worth every single penny of that £2.5m. Yes, we have a few wingers, but obviously they haven't been doing the business and that's why we are after Russell. Not only is Russell a quality winger, who creates goals and scores goals from that position. He is also quality when he is played up front. I think he brings much more to the team than Harris, Noone, Pilkington and Kennedy, so that is why we still require a winger. Just cause we have numerous wingers at the club it doesn't mean that we shouldn't have another one. Especially if the winger that we are interested in and we are trying to sign is better than every single one of the current wingers we have at the club. Harris and Kennedy are ones for the future and I don't think that there should be loads of pressure on them to be the answer to our wing problems. I even think that the two of them should go out on loan for a year to gain more experience. A move to a top League 1 side or a lower Championship side would benefit the both of them hugely - yes, i would prefer if they went on loan to a Championship club and were guaranteed first team action. But, then again a move to League 1 would be good too, as they would be more likely to play regularly for a League 1 side, than being a bit part player at a Championship side - as they could have stayed here and been that with us.
So, when it comes to us signing Johnny Russell for £2.5m, I think if the money is there then without a doubt we should sign him. Cause if we don't another team will and he will probably get promoted with his new club, after scoring his fair share of goals and assists.
Sign him NOW!!
