S-Clarke Posted 16 January, 2011 Share Posted 16 January, 2011 Agree with most and would not mind the players you mention but rather than Woolford I'd like to see us put £1.5m in front of Huddersfield for Pilkington. Pilkington would cost double that, maybe even more. Hudds aren't mugs and they have a bit of cash behind them now. There are prem. teams scouting him as well, def. one of the best players in the lower leagues. Not the sort of signing we'd be able to make yet. Someone like Harley, or even pugh at Bournemouth are def. reasonable targets for us. Wouldn't cost a fortune and are very good at this level.

When I heard of Adam's potential injury last night, the 1st two names I thought of were Harley & Pugh. Pugh's probably the most similar to Adam (Right footed on the left wing) - Doesn't Harley play central? With that said, Woolford would probably be the next step up to sign in terms of quality (and asking price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikes me spending just increases your chance of going up, so if you have it why on earth would you leave it to chance that the side will `get it together'? Personally I've doubted for a while that there is big bucks to spend so am not crying for signings, but if there is any money lets not hold back, if the quality is available to improve us get them in.

SaintRichmond Posted 17 January, 2011 Share Posted 17 January, 2011 If we can sign Huddersfield players it doubly helps us by weakening a main rival for promotion. Of course, they'd be very reluctant to sell, but worth a bid just to unsettle things and see what happens. I imagine we'll make some more bids late on in the window, it usually works that way. IMHO, this is the "Acid Test" With Lallanas injury, it was, or should have been, obvious to anyone that we are now severely lacking in the attacking midfielder department Therefore, if Cortese is SERIOUS about the Five Year Plan, he should know pwefectly well that to keep us on track, a suitable replacement, short or long term MUST be brought in That means MONEY, and if we soldier on with what we havn't got, then IMHO, that will show that the Leibherr Money Funding is just Pie in the Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Wotton and Pulis away hopefully in the near future, our midfield options need to be bolstered and this is the guy to do it if we're only able to pick from this league.

WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 18 January, 2011 Share Posted 18 January, 2011 Today. One day. If you judge it all from one day we'll be signing a ****load of players every few weeks. One game shows absolutely nothing, or should we have bought a new team after the pathetic home defeat to Brentford? We either need to strengthen or we don't. That wouldn't be different if we'd beaten Notts County would it? Or would that have completely changed your opinion in one game? My view has not altered all season that we need these players and the Notts County game proved Gobern is not ready that we need another winger and another striker if NA won't play Connelly. We should only bring in players who will enhance our team and be able to play in the ccc.If we can't get them then we should use the loan system. As I said in my article before you jumped down my throat this squad might get automatic promotion. I feel we need to strengthen to ensure the 5 year plan stays intact if the right players are available and want to join us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
