Money is tight currently by the looks of things. But apart from making crucial signings like a new goalkeeper and a solid CB, i feel the club ought to look into young prospects. A young striker or a midfielder would add further depth, couple of months/years of training maybe he can become 1st team striker.

You never know we might stumble across a wonder kid that will one day be as crucial as Zaha,

I think FdB wanted that route if you look at Riedewald and the loans

I mean that by us not being able to spend any significant amount in the window compared to other clubs.

That wonder kid would still cost us £15m+ now. Unless we're going to spend a lot of money signing a lot of kids, I really don't have a problem with us signing slightly more proven players.

I'll take a James McArthur over a Jose Campana any day of the week.

Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

we can never actually follow that policy unless we have stability in the managerial front.

i feel that in roy we have somebody less likely to walk away like pulis & sam did, but even with that, we all know roys propably got a couple of years left in him as a manager.

it will be interesting to see who he purchases as we have no idea really what he wants in terms of players.

One thing FdB did really good for us was getting Riedwald. Proving to be a quality player.
