Blades to re-invest

[boltonblade]

Money from the Kyle & Harry deals...

Looking for a CB, CM & Striker

Interesting.

Leonard still No. target it seems.

I'd like to see some decent money spent on a CM.

He would have to be more than decent if he is to replace either Fleck or Coutts

[Mansfield_Blade]

Unless the CB can also play in goal

Unless the CB can also play in goal

without giving away relegation-causing penalties at the other end of the pitch

CM in CW's mind at the moment is Leonard. We may have to go to £750k to get him but money well spent IMO. We don't have a player like him at the moment box to box player who defends in front of the back three. If Brookes turns in performances like he did last night then no need to get any more midfielders in after Leonard as we will have enough competition.

We seem to be putting a lot of money towards getting Lenighan in at CB, if rumours are to be believed, talk of bids of £1.5 million plus going in. Interesting CW still looking for 1 more up top. A player with pace has to be on the shopping list and yes a back up keeper is crucial. Seems we've had to wait for the Maguire, Walker and Murphy money to be confirmed before we started pushing the financial boat out so more Aldi now than Netto shopping.

I thought Aldi was superior to Netto? No?

[boltonblade]

That's what he's saying aint it? #confused

Striker with pace is important in this league!

Minimum £50 million...

I'll rephrase....i want a quality replacement fro basham. He's destined to be the new monty scapegoat for us in this league...

You mean the Basham who only yesterday signed a new 2 year contract,and now you want him replaced?

[Carpe_diem]

For me it's about building strength in depth and not leaving ourselves open if someone gets injured or banned. Sooner that for me than replace the whole squad.

I agree,thats why we are being linked with Leonard,who even if he signs,i couldnt see dislodging Fleck or Coutts unless there is an injury or loss of form,but he must feel once he is given a chance would really flourish in our team/system

There's a first time for everything I suppose.

Contracts mean nothing. Basham had a really good spell last year in league one i'll give him that. I hope im wrong but he's our main utility player and that's concerning for me in this league. He's got championship experience but i don't think he has the quality. He's a work horse but lacks real intelligence on the field for me.

[Holden_C]

If that's from the BBC I haven't seen where he says he'll spend it. He says if it's made avaiable to him, IF.

Now be written in stone he was promised the money then McCabe reneged on it.

Can you give us a name of a utility player we can sign and will not leave you feeling underwhelmed?

Netto is grim! Have you ever tried an Aldi £5.29 fillet steak? Twice what you'll find in Tesco/Sainsbury! Netto is down there with Farm Foods!

Misleading comments from the OP.

If you listen to last nights interview Wilder says he'd like to spend the Walker windfall.
He was asked directly if the money was available to spend and he says he isn't sure what money would be made available.
However even if the money was available he's probably best advised not to admit it otherwise clubs would demand more thinking we're rich.

Not misleading at all.....

BBC headline reads "Blades to re-invest"

Subsequent article that follows concludes Chris Wilder will "try to spend" the money wisely to improve the squad.

If theres a separate interview then i havnt heard it...

He's only discussing the money from the sell on fees so i struggle to understand your point. If the money wasn't available to him he would have said...the money isn't available from the deals.

""The Championship is a hell of a tough division, so any money that can be made available to myself, I'll try to spend it and use it wisely on additions to make us better."

He doesn't say anywhere that all the money will be given to him.

Great photo :D.......happy we have money to spend, but not convinced we need to spend it all at once.......too many new players will just disrupt things at this stage. Wait and see what we really need IMHO

Bugger I've just said on the brooks thread how underwhelmed I was with Thomas :s

[sharrowboy2]

The danger is always (a) bringing too many new players in at once (b) bringing in a "marquee signing", on bigger wages. Both of these can unsettle a squad, understandably. You appear to have a reasonably well balanced squad, Wilder appears wise and I'd assume he'd want to see where things are in January. You should land the Oxford (captain?) and the Southend fella, that's £1m gone.

Tut,tut

[Blade for Life]

Sounds like we are investing in Lundstram, according to the Oxford manager (if SBT could spell check that for me).
