How much has Bruce been allowed to spend ,The thing I want to come out of this FFP ,For me we have to change our transfer policy ,Start now by recruiting young players with a transfer sell on value , Some of you on here know more about the young lads coming through ,How many are within a year or two coming through .The steel city blues video Bert McGee said after we went back to Division 1 ,We will continue to grow our own marrows . We have not really developed our young lads for a long long time ,Lets hope it changes .Be patient it will come but ,When we go up lets have a young team that can only get better . To be fair we have made massive strides with the youth programme. Our under 18's won the double and more recently we had the likes of Matt Penney and one or two others knocking on the door. It's going to take time but we are heading in the right direction with the youth programme: https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2019/may/18s-captain-hails-memorable-campaign/ UTO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Sergio Cordova or of a similar type This is what I’d love to see too, it’s been a while since we had a young player others are jealous that we’ve got. Hopefully Bruce can find a player under 22 who’s career is on the up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy with that, but that might imply that only 2 or 3 will fall in the older age bracket. So these links with experienced players, in all areas, will hopefully be wide of the mark. We need a couple of experienced centre backs, but that’s about it, the rest should be young legs. With Hutchinson, Lee and Bannan, we already have plenty of experience in midfield.

Plus claims dirty Leeds are in as well.Be great to rub their noses in at moment. Looks like dirty Leeds might be getting some money to re-invest....... Spurs have made a £10m offer for Leeds United’s teenage winger Jack Clarke as Mauricio Pochettino looks to revamp his squad ahead of next season.

LOL , remember about 20 of us being in Schiphol airport the day after the Sparta Rotterdam pre season friendly and someone bought a copy of the News Of The World. Emblazoned across the front page was the headline " Premier League manager in kerb crawl shocker"! ........... Guess who appeared at that very minute! Still under the influence of some of the local hospitality one of the gang confronted him with the paper to which he replied ....... "I'm just flying to Italy to sign Paulo Di Cannio"!

There's a woman at work who highlights every word in her emails, usually with different colours for each section. I've tried to tell her that highlighting everything is akin to highlighting nothing, but she didn't seem to get it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than a head he was after. A bit of gristle and groin but wanted to avoid the crab stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Bidwell was a decent player, but the last couple of season’s, he’s been pretty average A move might just kick start his career Had hoped we’d bring in a young flyer, perhaps on loan, for the left back role There are some outstanding young left backs in the Premier League, who might be available for loan Edited May 23, 2019 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a free and even if he wasn't a starter would be good backup. As you say he's stalled recently, but worst case scenario is you gain an average Champ player IMO.
