I have. Still doesn't mean we a lot of FFP room. The phrase was used about "going for it" this year. Tan has suggested we may have to sell to stay within FFP. If you remove leavers, loanees and possible sales from the squad, it doesn't leave much. Could be a tremendous opportunity to get a balanced squad, but might take time. Who knows?

Every ambitious non parachute club has to develop talent to sell to stay within ffp and compete at the top end.

It will just be a continuation of the same model that saw us use the KLP cash to go a long way towards funding the current crop.

I don't think Jaden will go. I think if by some miracle he does go, it would have to be for daft money given his age, ability and the impact he's had and even then, I don't think Jaden would actually want to leave this season. He's not going to go to a Burnley or a Forest, and they aren't going to pay the kind of money we would demand. Leicester might, but they're apparently in the **** and would he risk playing in a relegation team? Doubtful.

Greaves I can see going to a much higher club. Could see Fulham wanting him with Marco Silva in charge and Tosin probably going elsewhere. Again, the cash we would ask for could easily sign us a decent enough replacement. Ronnie Edwards at Peterborough looks like an outstanding prospect, he'd be an ideal replacement.

I wouldn't be to sure on Jaden, he's making noises about wanting to be in the prem next season, is he ready.....imo no, but he's wanting it. I know the clubs looking at him see him as a future prem player, so potentially we could sell him with a loan back for next season

Ultimately it'll come down to the player. He could be worth more potentially us selling him in the championship than in the prem, if that release clause is being accurately reported.

Rosie on the striker situation...

"My job is always to pick what I think is the best team. There's loads of different characteristics to what a team looks like and how we need to look to be successful. There's loads of data, there's loads of metrics on it.

"As a team, when I play, I don't like calling it no strikers because we have strikers in the striker position. Our metrics are actually really, really good when we play without a recognised striker in terms of our pressing, in terms of the amount of times we win the ball back, in terms of the amount of times we successfully build into the opposition's path, in terms of our possession statistics and the control and dominance we have in the game, all of the metrics are telling me we're a play-off team.

"If you go through the season our points total, the goals that we've scored, the goals we've conceded - we are literally on track to finish in the play-offs.

"So my job is to pick a team and look at the bigger picture. I need this team to grow. They're new players. It takes time for them to create connections in the final third, but if I don't play them and I don't get them to connect, we won't see the maximum potential of (Anass) Zaroury or Fabio (Carvalho) of Abdush (Omur) of Ozan. They're outstanding players who I believe can take us and play at the next level.

"They haven't scratched their potential yet because they've played eight games together. I want us to peak in the play-offs, so we're going to have to swallow the fact we dropped two points at Birmingham sometimes, we have to swallow the fact that maybe we don't win a game because my job is to get us promoted. To do that, I have to make us peak at the right time and I feel like we're on track to do that."

On Noah Ohio....

"We recognised Noah as somebody who could come in and help us with his athleticism, with his ability, but he's very young. He's 21 years old, he's had no experience in England. We knew that he would be someone that would take time to build, but who could make a difference to us again.

"What Noah needs to work on, for all of his strengths; he's quick, he's strong, he needs to work on his reliability in possession and how how to keep possession for us in a way that he plays and his positioning and his pressing and where he needs to be.

"And that takes time. It took Liam (Delap) time. Liam didn't start to really flourish until maybe October or November, because Liam's 21 years old, it takes time for him to learn and adapt to a system.

"Noah's got unbelievable potential, he's a great kid, but to throw him in at 21 years old with no experience of first-team football in England and expect him to be the difference for me, that's crazy. That was never the intention of bringing him to the club, it was to make sure he was part of a group that get to the Premier League."

On Aaron Connolly....

"That's him (he's looked frustrated in training). He wants to be successful now. The injury that he had against Norwich was horrific. Yes, his shoulder was damaged, but actually, he had a long concussion for 10 days to two weeks. That sets anyone back, that's a really, really difficult injury to overcome.

"We've had to give him time, we've had to give him time to build himself up and you can see he needed the game minutes (against Curacao). I can't put him in games when we're fighting for the play-offs and hope that he's going to be OK.

"I need players that I can rely on, not through any fault of Aarons. It's an injury that set him back, but I can't just throw him in. I can't throw players in, in the position we're in at this stage of the season, I need to know when they come in they can do the job physically, tactically and do the job they're asked to for the team.

"Mentally, I think he's in a better place. I think he's someone who wants success now and if the success doesn't happen, he gets really down on himself because he knows what a good player he can be. He's a massive part of the group, he's really popular with the players. He's a great kid off the pitch, but on the pitch, he shows his emotion, and that's the type of person he is. I don't want him to change because that's the type of lad that he is. He does, he needs to get fitter, and that game would have helped him."

What's the ongoing plan with Billy Sharp?

"He's been top. Everything that I've wanted from him off the pitch in terms of his experience, his professionalism, the words of wisdom, the encouragement he gives to the players, the demands he has in terms of our training, he's an outstanding character.

"That's the first thing I would say about Bill. The second thing is Billy had played games in LA and tried to get himself fitter in January and kept coming to the group, but we recognise Bill is someone who can make the difference later in games. That's what he knows, that's the conversation I had with him.

"We see him as someone in the key moments who can make a difference because the reality for Billy and the truth is for me to ask him to play Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday in a really high pressing, high functioning physical team at his age is not the way that we need to use him. We can talk about the strikers or the no-strikers, my job is to pick the right team."

That's Rosie admitting clearly that the three strikers we've got are, for three different reasons, not at the standard required for the top half of the Championship (or probably the entire Championship for that matter).

It's nothing new or startling; it's been as plain as a pikestaff for weeks.

So for the run in, it's false nine all the way - unless Delap comes back - but I fear that's wishful thinking.

Sharp as an impact sub when one's required (Good. Should never be seen as anything else).

Ohio? Not going to suddenly become an instinctive position aware, super presser with the ability to hold the ball up and bring others into play in a month - so that option's gone.

Connolly? The riddle wrapped in an enigma, bundled within a puzzle. Can't see that being solved in a matter of weeks either.

The Ohio one is so strange. Why bring in a young kid for only 6 months if he needs to work at aspects of his game to suit our style of play? I’d get it if it was a signing for the future but he’s back at his parent club in the summer. If you’re signing players on loan in January and you’re pushing for promotion, you need players who will make an impact immediately like Carvalho and Zaroury as they have proven themselves previously in this division.

Say what you want, the recruitment for the striker position, barring Delap, has been absolutely woeful under Rosenior.
