    14 Million Quid....

    To get in Peterborough's Marriott (6m) and Preston's Hugill (8m).

    It's rumoured we can't afford either..or won't pay..what ever you believe.

    Don't know enough about either but both are highly rated..time to bite the bullet and spend some of the Wood/Taylor slush fund?

    Ridiculous.

    At least Wood had scored well at the championship level.

    Isn't hugill sitting the bench? Maybe we can swap them lassogga.

    Afford? Yes, if you mean transfer fee. Won't? If you mean will the owner/board sanction such a move, no, even if it didn't break whatever "rules" there are on player salaries.

    There will be no "biting the bullet", not while Radrizzani puts his trust in Bravo and Orta. We are destined to spend pin-money fees on more of the same kind of player drafted in over the last year or so, in the hope that some will "turn out good", or perhaps that they can be loaned out to a club our directors have a direct financial interest in, to see if doing so provides a suitable shop window and thereby raise their transfer value out (didn't work too well for Buoy, but what the hell), who knows. Seems they (owner/directors) can't be bothered to do the real work and invest for the 1st team now, preferring to meander up and down this division rather than make a serious attempt at promotion (this season or next!)

    Some good players in League 1 who could make the step up but the problem is the price clubs are wanting.

    We aren't in the 'Automatic' promotion bracket..its the 'sniff of the play-offs' bracket we are in and we will continue to be in that bracket until money is spent on proper quality players.

    Owner must realise where the real 'serious' money is..makes you wonder just why he is doing things the way he is..getting us there on the cheap is highly unlikely.

    This club is a serious player in the top flight when run right..as history has proved!

    AR has been on twitter today asking for patience during the January window. We've signed a LB for the senior team, there's still 2 weeks to go, give them a chance its not the easiest window to operate in.
