Curle is saying we may not be able to afford Hallam Hope - a striker bought for £100,000 but so valued by his parent mid-table league 1 club they let him go out on loan for half a season. to us.

But I plainly remember we let Paddy Madden, a striker bought for 100,000 euros, when we were a mid-table league one club, go to yeovil permanently for the price of a new kitchen and a money off voucher for bulmers cider, and he got them promoted to the championship. So what's the price for Hope? 20 grand? Maybe 50?
Either Curle has no pot of money from the board, or our board are shit at negotiating. Or both. Let's not rule out both. In fact, let's make it the most obvious choice.
