Yorkie Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Would love to know how SWP and Bothroyd would improve us, i really really would. Barton > SWP Carroll/Shola > Bothroyd Might improve the strength in depth a tad, but like i said earlier, not enough to justify wasting money on them. If we're not going to improve the first team then i'd rather we just left the spending till the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 SWP > Routledge Bothroyd > Ranger/Best. Nobody's saying they would improve our best XI, but they'd improve us there's no doubt about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not worth what we'd have to pay. Not by a long stretch. What would be the point - is Shola going to be a first choice striker forever now? I'd rather sign a striker better than him, and see Shola as the cover - where he rightfully should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Honestly don't think either would improve us. Of course they would. Not to the level we should be, but they would improve us. Bothroyd is nee better than what we have starting upfront and SWP is not a patch on Barton. Would be stupid signings that would simply further pad our squad with average players, I simply do not see that as 'improvement'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not worth what we'd have to pay. Not by a long stretch. What would be the point? That wasn't the question though. Sewelly said they wouldn't improve us and I'm saying they obviously would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Adding more average, aging squad players is not improvement man. It's sideways steps leading to backwards steps over the next couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 SWP is better than Routledge Bothroyd is better than the options we have behind Shola. That's an IMPROVEMENT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 It would improve the squad depth, as they are human beings. That's literally the only impact they would have. We should be in the market for players that will provide an immediate impact on the first team - cos there's one or two areas which still need significant improvement. Yes, we need cover at full-back and probably the wings... but we don't need any more squad-fillers in the striking department. Definitely not.

cubaricho Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Anyone think Pablo Barrera looked good when he came on for West Ham? Obviously he's in a totally shit team but I thought he had a nice spark, could be good cover for the left wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
