You're right, although we do need a LB eventually. On top of buying our essentials, we may as well add Jetro in for LB as well if we really believe he is quality. He'd be fit before the end of season and still can contribute. Otherwise we get to end of year and potentially lose him and have to look elsewhere.

It depends. If the medical shows he has the injury the club mentioned and it's on it's way to recovery, then it's fine? - Medicals are more about whether the player has deep underlying issues that may cause reoccurring injuries or potentially career ending ones. It's not impossible to sign a player while he's injured. As it stands, I'm not a fan of signing a LB right now, I want a CM, CB and CF asap. If we get all those in and Jetro is available on a cheaper deal now, I'd be happy for us to be proactive and wrap it up now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We desperately need him but if we have a deal in the pipeline for the summer it's OK IMO. Assuming we sign enough players to stop us getting relegated before then.

Darth Crooks Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Who goes though in the summer? I know we have to look short term atm but you just know we'll sell someone that will significantly weaken us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think Lee Ryder gets a genuine kick of knocking down decent rumours. I have thought the same thing for some time now. It's hard to describe as all he is doing is reporting what he finds out, but there's just something about how he does it that gives me this impression.

I've thought the same, prob because its the only genuine info he gets Haha yeah. I'm thinking because the club likes to torment us by saying which good players we wont be going for. Instead I look forward to them putting in a last minute bid for Didier Baptiste of Harchester United, or some other fictional/unknown player and still not manage to sign them. Because they are either fictional or haven't really seriously tried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short they have too many defenders on the payroll. http://otbva.com/forum/images/smilies2/th_kevinhart.png Good lord. Relegation awaits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Should be signing him on a pre-contract then at this point, agree with whats been said - this player is tremendous going forward, literally has created more chances and more goals than any other fullback in Dutch football over the past 5 years or something. A man who can hit crosses all day long, on top of being a sound defender with good pace and strength. But nah, let's hold off lads - Paul's got this. While we ship goal after goal and attack exclusively down the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 So many defenders huh. Two of them are out of contract in fucking June, God forbid we pay double wages for a few months in order to stay in the division to pocket over £100m Just like Ashley's unwillingness to appoint professional people who are more expensive than the shit they have now but infinitely cheaper than signing 50m worth of players to bail them out. I'll never understand these cunts, it's crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Remember what was said when McClaren came in, that there'd be significant investment spread over 3 transfer windows. IIRC he seemed to suggest it would be allocated pretty evenly over all 3. So if we don't spend 40 or 50 million quid in January I can only assume they're being cautious in case we get relegated. Either that or they were lying or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
