We're not desperate so don't need desperate measures.

I think it depends on our aims for this season as to whether we're desperate. If the plan is to push for the playoffs and try and get promoted this season, I'd say we're desperate. If the club/board don't mind not going up this season, I think we'll be fine.

No we shouldnt just sign anyone or over spend thats what got us in the mess we got into

If we cant get the players we want in then so be it, ill be disappointed but id rather that than saying someone who is crap that we over pay for

I agree one bad apple can ruin the team. So don't bring in a bad apple...get someone good!

It’s a tough one this.

People are right saying we won’t overpay, which is fair enough in ordinary circumstances but Stewart picked up the injury during the window and it’s in our hands on whether we replace him. If it happened 2 weeks later then we’d have to suck it up.

If we get dragged into a relegation battle will people still stand firm that we shouldn’t have overpaid for the sake of 6 months to ensure we finish the season strongly?

Let's just offer 30 million for Simms then ?

I have no idea how much Everton would accept for Simms, but to take him on loan again with an option to buy would be a good deal I reckon.

We could also do with an experienced 'war-horse' striker to tutor the bairns.

We're not going to get dragged into a relegation battle, we're 15 points clear.

Without looking, I think we have 18 games left and a fairly healthy squad. Not bringing in a player now would take a few months to rectify ...

... bringing in the wrong player could take 2/3 years to rectify.

Not to mention the disruption it can cause such as Rodwell who absolutely stunk the place out, denigrated some of the young players and set a terrible example.

The club is doing it right imo.
