    We might have a team that is built on togetherness but there's no reason why we should not pay higher wages for even better quality and gradually improve.

    There is a difference in our players pay packets even now and it doesn't cause any problems because the players attitude is right.
    Does anyone think Sharp is going to have the face on if someone comes in earning a grand a week more than him ?

    Will any other players care knowing that Sharp earns more than them anyway.

    Our players all realise that if they work hard they will be rewarded, the fact that somebody else has worked hard elsewhere and deserves a move to us won't worry our players.

    I've no idea how much he'd cost and I've no idea what salary he's on but Tom Cairney at Fulham is Paul Coutts, he is an absolute dead ringer in terms of type of player
    Everything he does is Paul Coutts like.

    This is the kind of player we need if improvement is to be made.

    And yes the wages will be higher but providing the player has a good attitude (which he seems to have) it won't be a problem

    Neither of our glorious leaders are so short of a bob that we need to get a payday loan to bring in another player or two. Does anyone think Tufty hasn't got his dossier of candidates well-prepared..?

    Lets be honest, we haven't seen what the step-up players will do either. I know Lundstram hasn't wowed us yet, but if we'd sold Coutts before last season, there wouldn't have been any shortage of people happy to drive him to his new club. Not worth a panic, imo.

    I like Cairney, but realistically I don't see it happening

    Our targets have tended to be lower league and when we have gone for a Championship player it's either been because they are not getting a game at their respective club, or because they are nearing the end of their contract. Cairney is a main player for Fulham. Is he anywhere near the end of his contract?

    The only way Carney would come would be if we matched his current most likely Premiership level package, the same goes for other players of that ilk. It’s not going to happen until we get into the Premiership and then the whole club’s pay scales will have to be reviewed.

    Bringing in a player or players on several times the rest of the teams’ average would also creat a financial them and us situation like we had under Adkins and Robson, and I think we’re also seeing right now at the Sty. Just the opposite of what Wilder strives to prevent as he builds a close knit squad at this level. He won’t let anybody rock the boat and wages will need to be addressed but not in January.

    I think he's the more likely option wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the targets from the summer remain the same except for the lad from Watford who probably burnt his bridges and Holmes who wouldn't be needed if as I think will happen we hang on to Brooks in jan
