Getting a lot of new players playing as a team can be hard enough without signing them with a couple of weeks left in the window or as we have done in the past a couple of days left. Im sure Bruce is already working on targets to do early business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Its hard to know, dunno about budgets, dunno about Embargos, don't even know about points deductions or owt yet. I would presume there will be no points deduction..if there is..do it now...perfect Sell FF we have done fine without him, he's a luxury we don't really need nor can really afford Hooper..Its tempting, but will he ever be fully fit...sell Joao....?..I honestly don't know....Its all promise and no real substance...I would keep him cos I'm scared of him going somewhere else and suddenly doing what we know he CAN do,,,consistently. Westwood...Keep lee....bloody sentimental tat...Keep him on a pay as you play thing if possible Fletcher ..Keep Hector...try and keep him either on loan or if we can afford it...pay it... Aarons..same as Hector, but if it was one or the other...Hector Palmer keep, the blokes mr consistent, and covers both left and right back now Bannan...Keep Reach...I reckon he's the one that would bring in the most money...reluctantly sell if it means keeping such as Hector. No doubt Bruce will be wheeling and dealing as we speak...this is simply a think through exercise for fans... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacock1961 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 its been 3/4 seasons now with basically the same squad. Need to start again. i'd keep Westwood and hopefully the loanees, sad to say but the rest have had their chance and have been bullied out of the big games. We have to move on.

Traditionally teams that have wholesale changes struggle in the early parts of the season until the players get to know each other and the systems. Bruce needs a full preseason with a set of players that are going to make up the core of his team for next season. The odd last minute addition shouldn't be a problem. As has already been suggested.....Bruce will already know who he will keep, who he will let go and to a certain extent , who he wants to sign. He will have feelers out with his contacts for potential purchases. Providing FFP or wherever rules we need to keep on the right side, he will have told DC how he wants to create a new team capable of pushing for promotion. I think DC has appointed Bruce to organise everything on the football side. He seems to have stepped out of the spotlight and let Bruce get on with it. Bruce is a proven success at this level . DC would be mad to interfere. In Bruce we must trust. To DC we say thank you for seeing sense. Get your cheque book out . A fine pair if ever I saw one. *Hums an' rocks backwards and forwards* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much agree here Andy .It's the classic Forecourt scenario A Cars only worth what the tyre kicker is going to offer ...Trouble is our "Swiss Tony" likes to keep his shiny shiny's . Spring fire sale at Hillsborough everyone can go but up the price for one or two of the collection ... Try and lease purchase for next season Bring in a Will Vaux Bring in a Fitz Hall (I know he's off the road now ) Bring in a Mike VHector Just need @Mrs Blenkinsops shed to write the verses for the advert ......

Well I think we need young hungry players Not sure what it means but it gets said a lot so thought I'd join in Hooper is always hungry. His injuries came when sausages were off the menu. That occasional timber on him is a testament to his hunger. Why did Jos not realise this? FFS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it part of the deal that if they get promoted, they have to sign him? If they had the choice, there is no way they would be wanting him for the premiership.

Think tank Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I see a lot of people are saying we need to do our business early, the reality is the kind of signings we are looking at, (Loans from the Prem) never happen early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And therein lirs the problem. Get players in at the end of preseason and it takes them half a dozen games to get up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robowl4life Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I can’t see us being able to rebuild. People seem to be burying their heads about us being in financial trouble. Saying that, I’ve a feeling DC May have something up his sleeve and can’t see Bruce having signed knowing we’d have nothing to spend. Time will tell tell I guess. Plus we’re still only 6 points off play offs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im confident Bruce can get us in good shape ready for the first game. Last few years our season hasn’t started until September. Hopefully DC can sort something out to avoid an embargo and give Bruce an hand. I reckon we’re going to need about 8 new signings to transform and freshen this squad up. One thing we must do now is get Westwood signed up. The best keeper in the league. Apparently there wont be an embargo, we met the FFP criteria, nothing to stop us doing this now and signing Hector. Should be full steam ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
