Have We Signed Anyone Yet?

Why do we need a marquee signing? I'd much rather we assembled a talented, flexible, competitive squad that has a good chance of keeping us in the Championship.
As a matter of fact, I think that's what the manager and recruitment team are trying to do.

Plus the “ethic” of Warne’s way is to have a set of players of similar capabilities, with no place for a “ Billy big boots”

Effectively signing players like himself and Barker when they were both playing

First question is perfect. Would love to hear who the cynical brigade actually expect us to get. This mythical 30 goal striker for 50p a week that the rest of the footballing world hasn't noticed.

You know the imminent signing will come down to how much % TS is willing to pay on wages. The player concerned has said he wants to come to RUFC so it's down to the two clubs to come to a suitable figure that both agree on. A bit of compromise from both clubs would help. Expecting a signing Monday onwards, perhaps for Thursday. ( media day)

You could add PW also prefers some players that are versatile and can play different positions, we've got quite a few of that description already.

Exactly. It's the whole team/ squad that counts.

I also remember Campbel-Ryce wanted to move back down south to Barnsley..🤣

Yes, but some of us can remember when Barnsley were a top flight team. "Just like watching Brazil" was the trope of the time.
