Official Summer Rumour & Transfer Thread

[pass_and_move]

Interesting & well put together points & most of of it hard to disagree with , however & with respect , how & where are we going to get the investment from

That's the $64000 question Shads and I honestly don't know.


It's not just throwing money at it like Wednesday and Wigan have with respect Shads.


How I see it is that moneyball and stats have served us well in respect of the fees that we've paid for players over the last 10 years. We've bought some real bargains in to be fair. We've also had some poor recruitment just to add balance, it has to be said.

I can see the logic behind our policy but the fact is that after 10 years at it, we've gone backwards both on the pitch and off it. A decade is a long time and in my opinion proves quite conclusive that the clubs policy needs investment in order to thrive.

poor recruitment goes with the job, I doubt that there is any club out of the 92 that do not make mistakes on the recruitment front, lets be fair if you get above 50% right on your transfer dealings then you are not doing too bad & that is one of the reasons I do not mind loan signings, at least if you get it wrong the player goes back & if you have a successful loan signing then he has done a job for you without having to gamble on laying out the costs involved, regarding the investment then all businesses need investment or they stand still or go backwards but we can bang that drum as loud as we can but I ask the question " Where does the investment come from ? " not only do we nedd it on the pitch but also on the ground etc but unless the Tykes money fairy looks kindly on us then we are struggling .
