€600 is a bargain. At that price I might have a look about to see if I have any euros knocking about to chuck in to the fund! :emoticon-0142-happy

All seriousness he is a good business at 600k and worth getting in. Let the two young lads push each other for the first team.

We should 100% be looking at Clarke and Broadhead on permanent deals. I'd go for both in loan but with the caveat that I would be looking for someone permanent in their position as I want to build for the long term not short term.

Agree good deal for me

im not Speakman’s biggest fan but I’m happy with what he has to say here. He’s spot on that we can’t just go and splash cash like we used to.

Id much rather have a “lower reputation” plucky underdog style to our team next season than go out and spend money and look like idiots when we finish 15th and get sucked into the issues clubs like Birmingham and Stoke have.

I'd like to think that our reputation would be as shrewd operators rather than plucky underdogs. It maybe hasn't immediately seemed like it but, with one or two exceptions, the recruitment people seem to have found value in the transfer market. Bringing in people like Roberts, who's careers had maybe gone off track a little and, despite it ultimately not working out for him, bringing in players like Emmenike from clubs like Leatherhead show that we've got broad horizons on that front.

thats definitely a better way of putting it. I couldn't articulate what I meant.

I believe we already have targets already in place and will have been working on them since before the play off final.

I'm quietly confident our recruitment will suprise us and be done early

Yep I said this last year.

KLD has a massive knowledge of world football, and many contacts throughout Europe.

He will have a heavy influence on future targets, that's for sure...

A.N. has seen what dan neil can do, whether he thought it was too soon for him to be thrown in or wants to 'bring him on a bit' i have no idea but i feel fairly sure he can spot the talent and has the know how to develop it, maybe if we were several points clear or had lost all chance of promotion/play-offs he might have given him more game time, guess we will see next season.

Think it wasore down to fatigue as AN stated not long after he was appointed that some players needed resting and a few weeks later DN also spoke of being tired and needed the break. Then I think his game time has been slowly restored to stop him burning out and to allow him to develop properly
