Londoner Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I have a question which is similar but slightly different to one I posted earlier in the week. We obviously have a packed fixture list, now with 2 games against Man City thrown in.....surely with this game coming up and being third in the league we are now a MASSIVE draw to top championship players in underachieving sides. Even if they are cup tied. The likes of Bannan spring to mind. Surely this is our best chance to get these too players....but will SL push the boat out? Transfer fee no doubt but as always wages is the stumbling block. We cant let this cup run hinder our league form, so let's get some proven quality in as well as some of these kids....and let's go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Seems to me that the kids are better than the big time charlies. If you look at our team, we dont have any charlies now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted December 21, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hugill and Walsh sound like they have some weight to the rumors on us being interesting in them - they would be two cracking signings alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Cigar Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Finally, we're in a position (literally) to attract better than average players. There's no doubt money will be available. I think a loan from a top Prem side possible, and maybe a few million on a good striker. But, hard to get them in January. And there aren't that many around anyway. To be honest, seeing as we're getting goals from all over the pitch, we only need someone who can get us 10-15 a season. We still have Djuric and Fam to return too. And what Taylor lacks in finishing, he makes up for in assisting. A centre-mid and striker will be the two signings we'll be looking to make. But, we won't pay stupid money or stupid wages. And since the club seem to know what they're doing, I'm happy to bow to their expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 The only risk is upsetting the team spirit and momentum created by this group of players. I would only sign one striker, as we can't rely upon Bobby all season, and Fammy might take time to get back to speed. I would certainly be prepared to pay quite a bit for the striker, and pay more wages. Surely the other players would understand if it meant boosting our promotion prospects.

Fat Cigar Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 One thing I will say, there'll be no more Tomlin like "mavericks" joining us in the foreseeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
