lancashireowl Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Just now, BRUCE LEE said: £10m? For Preston’s defensive midfielder? He’s not really a defensive midfielder- more box to box. Premiership interest in him from Burnley and Palace. Young, under 23. Apparently were quoted £15mil for him. They rate him more than Hugill (even though they obviously play very different positions).

Sod FFP , spend what you want on the right players knowing you will be out of the reach of the powers that be because you will be in the premier league.

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Players needed for Friday , a couple of quick signings would be ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Would be nice, but not convinced it'll happen. Although, Jos should be able to assess what he's got quick enough given so few fit bodies. Need a shot in the arm from somewhere. A new player or two would lift everybody a little.

striker Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Surprised signings were not made to coincide with Jos being announced. Doesnt take long to assess the squad to realise we have no available players in key areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 In all fairness to Jo's he'll know a lot more about our deficiencies by 10 pm on Friday than he will have learned watching us play a mediocre pedestrian average League 2 standard team. Cut him some slack till next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We let Carlos drift for far too long, we have known for months that we are short of players and specific types of players in particular. Would be nice if the club had plans in place to recruit ready for January or that recruitment to plug essential and immediate gaps in the first team would have been part of the discussions when Jos arrived and actioned asap. Completely agree that Jos needs time, but at least give him a fighting chance, in what is now the only game of any meaning this season. Having to pick a team purely from the leftovers of Carlos' wee wee tail eyed recruitment strategy is a hiding to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see us having too much to spend, so what few recruits Jos can come up with have to be the right ones, not panic buys like in the "Mammadov" window. We'll just have to suck it up on Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit catch 22 situation for me, I’m sure we have got a list of potential targets drawn up but do you go and get those players in before Jos has a proper look at this squad and his say on where we need improvement, knowing money is tight and the new manager might not fancy them after all?

Plonk Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Wierd. We've spent the last twelve months lambasting the club for signing players not the coach. We put in a manager rather than a coach, everyone cheers. Now we can't understand why the club hasn't got players sorted for him!

Well if Carlos drew up the list I'd scrap it. He didn't solve any of the apparent needs over the last 3 windows. I also think Jos might well be looking for a different type of player in terms of physicality and mentality than Carlos seemed to acquire, or is that wishful thinking? Get in a few solid loan players, German or otherwise, and do the real spending in the summer when he can get rid of a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy logics Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Talking of Carlos....perhaps he could do us a favour and loan us Ki Sung-yueng until the end of the season? Not featuring down here and would be a great midfield option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloxwich Owl Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 The Blunts could have a brand new midfield set-up come Friday night........... Lee Evans is set to complete his move from Wolves to Sheffield United, according to reports. Respected website Football Insider says the Bramall Lane outfit have agreed a £750,000 fee and expect to complete the deal in the next 24 hours. Pete O’Rourke says Evans has agreed personal terms and passed a medical meaning the official announcement is all that remains. Football Insider say Evans is set to sign a three-and-a-half year deal and could make his debut in Friday’s derby with Sheffield Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
