Does anyone really care about overpaying if it means we get the player? Chances are if we don't, by the summer we've got no chance of getting them anyway.
Not one bit, if we waved £60 million and a player on loan in the face of Villa for Grealish they'd bite our hand off, offered Newcastle £40 million for Longstaff he'd be here tomorrow, etc, and I'd be happy with then spending more if needs be, I can never understand nowadays fans getting upset about potentially overpaying for players.
I'm not endorsing these players, but Ole likely wants them, so get them, if they're crap then Ole falls on his sword and we move on, waiting until the summer achieves nothing, and the bar is so low in our midfield they would have to improve us, surely.
The club can't keep saying it's 'difficult,' no money yes, but if it's so difficult then obviously we need better people doing the deals (shock horror), as other clubs manage it.
