Jackie Broon Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 1 hour ago, STM said: Weird, because normally I'm super excited about the possibility of signing some good players. Now, because I know its a formality for us to sign good players (if we want them), I'm more relaxed than anything else. We've gone from having to beg good players to sign for us, to potentially players having to beg their clubs to let them leave for us. We can cherry pick who we want (with the exception of players currently on high wages). In the summer, someone like Diaby was a reach, now there is more a sense of, "are we sure he's worth it?" It's a lush position to be in. I still think we needn't rest on our laurels. We have some poor players in our squad and that's where the improvement should be made. I have the same relaxed feeling about this window. I don't think we need to focus on replacing those players though and I don't think we will. I think we'll be buying under 21s with high potential and first team players who improve us. I think it'll be a case of the right players at the right price when they become available rather directly targeting replacements for squad players. Those players will be gradually squeezed out of the squad rather than directly replaced I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those would be mega wouldn’t it. I’d imagine the “strong” rumours will start to roll out pretty soon from Ornstein et al if a big move looks like it might happen as we’re very close to jan 1st. Martin Hardy is usually pretty reliable too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Hardy is usually pretty reliable too. I'm not so sure we'll get that this time round. Once Ashworth came in everything got locked down in terms of rumours. Look at the Summer, he came in as there was all the speculation re Botman, it then went dark for a couple weeks and the next thing we heard about it was he was about to fly in for his medical. Isak we were linked with early in the Summer, but when we actually made our move we didn't hear anything from journos till a couple days beforehand when they were suddenly like 'this is going to happen.'
