Now if we can sign a player that beats the first man from corners we’ll have some real threat from set plays. And hopefully play football in the right areas of the pitch. Make Bannan almost void of defensive duties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong logic right there If you agree the club is financially screwed, it's a bad signing if you agree the club is operating on a much reduced budget, it's a bad signing if you agree we're desperate to sign forwards and a keeper, it's a bad signing if you agree iorfa, palmer and dawodu can play right back, it's a bad signing if you agree that a 1 year contract is just more bizarre business, it's a bad signing The desperation on here by some to justify this signing is comical. Now imagine we start the season without signing at least 1 experienced prolific forward... some will still say the hunt signing made sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing an experienced championship player on a free transfer is pretty much the least batshit crazy thing that has happened at Hillsborough for years. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly reported we had the money available by Nixon , likes of bazza still here on big money . I think our wage budget is probably one of the highest in League one 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Palmer, better then Dawodu, Iorfa will play CB. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot say that signing hunt won't impact the wage budget and then say signing him won't impact our search for a striker. If his wages come out of the budget, it impacts the search for other players, which moore has specifically said he wants to sign....strikers. I guess a better question would be whether we needed to sign a right back. Interestingly moore hasn't said much on this signing. wonder why that is.
