Makes me wonder how much we allowed JR to push the boat out to secure promotion? Squad fillers: Donati, Duffy, Hill To name but three.

Everyone will have taken a jump in wages after gaining promotion and the new players signed won’t be far off double the wage of players let go so not that surprising to me. Paying £75k transfer fee wasn’t a great decision though IMO given that is around the annual salary of an additional player. Hopefully he will repay his worth and have a belter of a season.

Add in the 75K for Heaton. How many players could we have brought in if that was wage money (plus Heaton's wage too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saintss Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Yeh, we let go of a lot of players.But many of them had been on loan or sat on the bench without getting a game.We’ve also brought back a couple who had been on loan, Kirkpatrick & Stewart plus Macpherson and Erhahon have stepped up to be more involved.What would be the point in bringing in loads of players who will never play?Quality over quantity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel it will take more than two players to solve the problem areas on the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a left sided midfielder with some pace, and a couple of good strikers then I'd feel a whole lot better about things. Sounds like we really are going to need to be patient and that none of those are going to be in place anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 It looks like Stubbs was playing his cards very close to his chest , as far as I can see there was no reference by name to any potential trialists/targets , or was there ? His comment about 2 , maybe 4 , hopefully 6 coming in means anything could still happen ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
