Sadly when you sell the best assist provider in the division then we probably need to spend over £3m to replace him.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

but we could have brought in 2 other cheaper players to make up the assists, whether that was on loan until we had the funds or permanent. McGugan and Drentthe were a start but we didn't tie them down for long enough and then let Drentthe slip away.
Removed until we're actually on our way back

Whilst that is true, letting Antonio leave was gross mismanagement IMO.
