Ayrton Twigge 0 Posted December 21, 2004 My question isn''t who will we buy but when will we buy.We''ve had a good three months to be looking at options. We knew when the last windo closed we were short on quality and we had some money. Lets hope that we move quickly and capitalise on new players sooner rather than later.I hope we don''t see the silly scramble we saw back in August. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USA Canary 7 Posted December 21, 2004 I agree...let''s buy someone when the window first opens, not wait until the last hour...there are still some games in January where we could get some of our money''s worth... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there are going to be a lot of disappointed supporters by the time the window closes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bananaman 0 Posted December 21, 2004 Having said that, I will be very disappointed if we spend "1.2m" on a player who doesn''t add the necessary quality to our squad.I''d rather stick with what we have, bank the cash and come back stronger or add to it in the Fizzy league.

Left Testy 0 Posted December 21, 2004 Swap Doherty with Jagielka from Sheff utd and a little cash 250k Dean Ashton from Crewe for 1.5m Let Helveg go to Odenese on a free or a 100k and get someone half decent in on loan.... Petit etc... Every team needs a good spine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Temp the Revelator 0 Posted December 21, 2004 Left Testy - if you seriously believe that Ashton will go for as little as 1.5m, I think you must have been at the cooking sherry! With all the hype around him at the moment, and with the reported interest in him, I will be very surprised if he goes for any less than 2.5m, maybe more.....and he''s not worth that much!

With Premiership clubs like Spurs, Birmingham and even Liverpool rumoured to have had a look at him, I can''t see him going for anything less than £2.5-3M.Also, Jagielka for the Doc + 250K?? I wish!!

nolegs 0 Posted December 21, 2004 I''m still waiting for the results of mondays "top secret" meeting with Chris Sutton !Or will Santa show me his sack first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Left Testy 0 Posted December 21, 2004 Templeton what people want and what people get are two different things 1.5m is a fair price he wont go for more than 2m..its worth a try The reason people band high price''s around and say there interested in certain players is to keep the prices up so teams like Norwich are priced out of the market when in fact they have no intention of paying that kind of money.

I wonder why it hasn''t happened yet???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
