Can't be stressed how much of an upgrade Porro/Udogie will be on Emerson/Sess.

Feeling optimistic that we'll get a CB in now. I'd assume it's Tanganga out the door (not sure of the HG implications) but can't see anyone else leaving this window. Maybe Sanchez on a loan to buy?
 
Mission accomplished


On the football front they have never had a discernible strategy , certainly not one they had the cojones to stick to, well at least not in my opinion and plenty of others on here
I agree. If they did have strategies, they were abandoned each time a manager was sacked.

It doesn't mean that investing in young, gifted talent isn't a strategy though. Succession planning is a strategy, and it's not a bad one.

There's many on here that have said we need a total squad rebuild, and I make them right, but you don't bin off everyone in one fell swoop and buy in an entire new squad, not and maintain some form of equilibrium.

I dunno, we've tried buying players with big reputations, in the hopes of making a big impact, and made a ricket of that more often than not. Our successes have mostly been with younger talent that we've taken a punt on. We've had our failures there too, but a greater percentage of success when compared to the "name" players.

I could be wrong, but I get the feeling that we're picking our targets with a bit more care.
