    Summer signings?

    Just seen Rob Scott shopping at Aldi. Suppose it makes sense the Millers recruitment guru is hardly going to shop at Waitrose. Plenty of good buys at Aldi hope he picks some bargains up for us.

    Won’t get any ugly ducklings in Waitrose.

    But will Mr Stewart sanction the likely expenditure ?

    Nowhere near as much as we would like.

    Bargain basement, Rob Scott will know the budget restrictions.

    The problem is that our way of operating is often a false economy. If we sign two cheap injury-prone players who are sidelined for a lot of the time (which we have done several times over), it's actually LESS cost effective than signing one far more expensive player who is fit to play every week.

    Here's to Julien Lamy becoming a full time professional with us soon after the season ends.

    Not sure the analogy with Aldi holds up, there actually aren't that many bargains, not in this country anyway.
