However, it begs the question, who else could we got for such an astonishing amount of money. Yes, it's a load of money but to compete in this league it's getting to be more the norm.

The only way is S6 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 10 minutes ago, Slick. said: With the right scouting setup, the club could have brought in an upgrade at CB, an upgrade at RB, a reserve GK and a young, pacey striker and easily could have change spare out of £10 million too. Time will tell if the club made the right call... But how much would 'the right scouting set-up' cost in the first place? A lot more than the spare change. Plus the number of years to find & develop those 4 players. Thankfully, DC is impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that sounds a great idea to spend £10 million on setting up a decent scout setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It's a loan so surely we can say we don't want him if he doesn't live up to the standards, but thinking about our standards aren't even that high at the moment, Nuhiu even still gets game time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It's a lot of money but we know what we're getting. Can you imagine paying £10m for Jake Livermore, or £13m for Robbie Brady? Or £7m for that Wigan winger who I'd genuinely never heard of before yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it begs the question, who else could we got for such an astonishing amount of money. Good point. In my personal opinion we should be spending that money on strengthening the squad, instead of lumping it all on one player. Would rather have had, a young talented CB to partner Lees, a goal scoring CM (Lansbury/Hourinhane) and a proven Championship winger (Sako/Ince). Obviously i'm happy we've signed Rhodes, i just think we could have spent that money wiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed 9 players in the summer, I'm not sure how much more 'strengthening' you can do before you're just collecting players who aren't quite good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 We could have bought Reach, Abdi, Mathias and Joao. Looking at that 10m on Rhodes seems like a bargain to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody. We've signed mediocre players for an inflated price, they might prove themselves later down the line but we need players that can come in and perform straight away. Compared to the impact singings have made to other teams, Fletcher, Reach, Abdi and Buckley have had almost no impact on our performances this season, we're just about equal to how we were this time last season, only we've spent considerably more money. Again in my opinion, a strike force of FF/Hooper/Fletcher/Winnall is good enough to get us promoted, we're just lacking the right formation/players behind them so therefore limiting their effectiveness.

nile Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 if it was £10million, its the best £10million we have ever spent, a striker that scores for fun costs money, any club going for promotion needs a 20+ a season striker, we now actually have one, i couldn't give a roger who else we could sign for that price, suppose we could have signed another centre back and won promotion with 0.0 draws.
