'Several' player of the season awards between 2002 and 2003 before he went to Bristol you mean? He wasnt part of the side that eventually got us out of league 2, let alone championship ready purely by virtue of his SPL team of the year award.
Our lack of depth is not down to this window. It's down to previous ones. This window had a good crack at filling some gaps
Yeah, I'm sure Rosie would have liked 4, and, another 2 fullbacks. You are familiar with how budgets work?
Agree, don’t think the hierarchy will though, they might say they’re happy with top half but they’ll want more now. Billy Sharp wasn’t brought in for a team happy to get top half this season otherwise what’s the point
What, try to get them playing football at a lower level if they're not ready for a championship top 6 push?
November acun quote - top. 10 expectation, playoffs would be good, if we don't make it its. OK. just means we're not ready yet. So we're going after a left back, winger and 'keeper minimum according to Baz and other indications, which is where we all agree the pressing squad weaknesses are. Why don't you think we' ll address them? ....and yes, the hierarchy will have final say on transfers identified by Rosenior, Darno, Beri. Tan will be doing the deals and Acun signing off on a pre agreed strategy just as they did last summer.
Can we have a thread for real Jan transfer news, and keep this thread for all the other bollocks, conjecture, opinions, etc? In fact I'll create one, see what happens.
Are we not after a striker anymore then seen as Davis fell through in the summer or is that just Sharp? I’m a big fan of Sharps but a little underwhelming if so.
Think priorities might have shifted since then with Christie coming back from Injury running in treacle and Vinagre being sent back. I expect we'll see a credible option come into the forward line still though.
