On the "experience" thing. I agree it would be good to sign a couple of player who have played 100 or so Championship games. They could still be 23/24.

But I also think that experience is mostly needed in the middle. I'm relaxed about signing wingers that are young and exciting. I'd like our midfield to have a player with experience in it.

Dan Neil has a shed load of experience.

Why does every player we sign have to be for right now, can we not sign players for now and the future in the same transfer window. I've said it before if we sell Clarke, Neil etc in the next 6, 12, 18 months does it not make sense we have their replacements on board before they go and then it's stops the situation arising where we are short in 1 or 2 positions.
Why does it seem people only want to sign the players we need right now in each transfer window.
We are building something different here, the signings we made in the summer , now and probably this summer coming will probably what we need in 12 to 18 months that's how this model will work.
However if your starting from scratch its going to take 24 to 36 months for the ground work to take effect where we have ready made replacements in place for each position.
Yes they will also need to sign players that will fit in right now to keep the team progressing till everything is in place.
Gone are the days when the club will spend silly money on wages and fees just to compete in the current season, that's what ended up with us in league one so I'm happy those days are over.
I'm sure every fan wants us to sign a CDM and CF that will come in and hit the ground running but that is not the only business the club will be looking at in a transfer window

The problem is we are signing NONE for now. Every player we sign is for the future. Nobody wants us to sign a 30 year old in every position I don’t know why that’s how it’s being spun but it’s nonsense. I mentioned signing a few players to help the young squad we have.

No he doesn’t. He didn’t even start playing until he was 19 and that in was in league one. He’s got about 60 championship games under his belt that’s not loads of experience.

O’nien is the only player we have regularly starting who’s over the age of 23 and most of his career has been spent as a midfielder in the lower leagues playing against ****e.

Well Neil did, or at least had a history of buying players around the 30 mark wherever he was manager.
You are right, age isn't always necessary for experience. 100 league games is a reasonable starting point
