Waghorn

He's said he's hardly touched the brooks money !

I know that mate but if we shell out £5.5m for Waghorn it’ll make a big dent in it. I personally think Chris will stick if we get W except maybe another loan player after he’s assessed the first few games. He’ll then have enough in the kitty to bring in some quality in January if we need to kick on. IMO obviously.

Here's an idea. Why don't we buy some more quality now. It might be worth another 10 points by January...

Here’s another idea. See if the said quality is already there and how individuals we’ve got at the club and brought in are performing in competitive games before blowing most of the budget. And then there’s injuries. If we’d got the wherewithal to bring in a half decent replacement for Coutts last January we may have reached the play-offs of better.

Anyway we’ll soon see which way Chris rolls, but my guess is if we sign Waghorn we’ll not bring in any more big money signings until January. Personally I think we could do with more quality at LWB but if Chris thinks the same after the first few games, he’ll look at the loan market.

I don't mind either way about whether we do or not once Waghorn is over the line. I think we've got quality and resilience everywhere now. Excellent transfer window.

As for Coutts, we'd lost a dozen points by January after his injury, which suggests I might possibly be right* about front loading the squad now while we have the chance.



*Don't tell Mrs FKB..! She's only ever been wrong once. It was that time when she thought she'd made a mistake, but it turned out later she hadn't.

Mrs GB has never been wrong. So she tells me.

Yes brilliant window if we get Waghorn over the line and don’t lost anyone we don’t want to. Like I said, I’m still not sure about LWB but I’ll let Sir Chris worry about that.
