Not just fritter it away on a ton of loans that won't reap us anything we need to invest at least 1 million on a few bits of quality we can make better and sell on. Once Miller goes we have a huge void so we shall need to spend to progress. correct the amount of low level shite in our squad is the reason we are so consistently bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spit_It_Out Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 No idea bits and bobs depends on the deal I suppose. I shall say this Watt from Dundee Utd and Tavares from Hibs to loan deals probably paying full wage season long and they have offered us next to nothing zilch!So taking a wage off rival teams so they can bring in a player when we are taking in players that were known to be below average on the slide really isn't that progressive. That summer window could be one of the worst I have witnessed tbh something needs to change on the recruitment side of things it needs looked at and freshed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, well done you for a couple of likes. So thats what - 25-33% upfront. 33% of £4mill still gives us a decent amount to work with to reshape the squad in addition to leveraging future deals through guaranteed income over the next 3 years. But you knew that too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 I'm a bit sceptical how much would even go to players. Think a load will go on infrastructure etc. We're not really going to be breaking our wage structure or paying much more than we already to. To do that we need a sustained increase in income.

That revenue will just help us not be as impovrished, whether we recieved it in one lump or over a series of instalments.

thewelllfan Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 We'll only be signing a Goalkeeper as back up to Balcombe until Ox is back and to allow Connoly to go back to EK and play. Mair broke his finger I believe so he'll be going back to Norwich. Don't see us bringing else in other than that. Can't understand why we've kept Taveres at all.

Kmcalpin Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 I'm surprised that Matty Connelly was given a new 12 month deal last summer,but isn't considered good enough to be our No 2, only 6 months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
