SiJ Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Personally I'd prefer us to attract players a bit older than those you'd get on a Michael Jackson spending spree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 There will be more than 2 or 3 million needed. Not expecting mega bucks but about 6-7 million will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Let's hope we have a decent manager to splash the cash I think we have. He's never had any money to spend so far apart from may which was probably a mistake. He can spot a decent young player though... he's proved that already IMO.

darra Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 There's no doubt our budget is going to expand. I think we'll also pay some decent fees. Connor Wickham / Jordan Rhodes type signings are pie in the Sky thiugh. 10-15 million for those 2 I reckon plus another 60k / week minimum in wages so I don't see them as being targets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The DOF we appoint in the next few weeks should tell us more about what the budget may be. If it's Comolli then it won't all be free transfers, the guy lives off spending money. Personally I think we'll copy Middlesbrough and spend around £10 million in the summer on 4-5 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 So we're agreed I was right then, we need to spend to progress? Took a while, but we got there in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I will be surprised if we spend anything like being touted on here on purchasing players, rather more like increasing the wage budget to get the better out of contract players available in the summer. I firmly believe that, given the correct service, players at the club like May, Bus and Lavery WILL get the goals next season, along with a new player to take Nuhiu's place, + lee and Mguggan with goals from midfield. Fans are right though, we do need some one, any position, who can actually cross a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 He definitely needs to stop holding us back and step aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Needs evolution rather than Revolution but at the very least we need to sign McGugan, 2 wingers and a quality striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtheowl Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Chansiri hasn't just shelled out the best part of 40 million, for us to be a mid table championship club. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 DC hasnt publicly stated he wants premier league football by 2017 without doing his homework and understanding how much needs to be done and how big an investment is needed in the playing squad . He will do what needs to be done. This bloke aint a fool, he will know a major investment in the squad is needed to get promotion . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'd be amazed if Chansiri feels you can get promoted within two seasons by signing free transfers. Even budget Burnley had to pay for Ings and Vokes. We've got a solid starting base thanks to the signings of Westwood, Hutchinson, Loovens etc, now we need to add that bit of quality which unfortunately requires fees most of the time. Doesn't have to be really high amounts but I'd be surprised if we're not making a few £2 million+ signings in the summer. The link to Comolli suggests that would be the case anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wayne the owl Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Did they look the answer? Wasn't this buses second ever game for us ? Both of which he came on as a sub ? Scored one and won. Penalty .... But no your right , he should of bagged at least 12 with all the game time he is getting ......

Flat Owl Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Shopping smart doesn't suggest throwing money at it but could still mean shelling out enough to acquire the quality we need if it means adding value. If McGugan costs north of 1M on a three year contract aged 26 and with quality he brings then IMO that is good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickledegghiderman Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Steven Taylor anyone? Looks like he could be leaving Newcastle in the summer. Would be a collosus in this league. Maybe out of our price range or maybe not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Top to bottom. Manager to tea lady. Everything needs to be changed. Awful season at home.Arguably our best season since about 1996. 'Everything needs to be changed' is pretty excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
