I think it would be a good signing personally.Harry Wilson as our last minute blockbuster signing? Can see it happen.
Scarletts made 4 appearances for us in January. Not huge minutes but was still an option we had and one we used a bit.
It's a real dereliction of duty if we have let him go on loan and we have no one coming in to replace him or Johnson.
This is turning out to be a real shocker of a January given all the injuries we now have & with more outgoings than incomings of first team ready players.
You’ve gone too far this time…
YesJust absolutely fucking baffled how this Club is being run.
The standard of facilities is off scale with a beautiful stadium and we have this group of idiots running the Club.
Mind-blowing.
Actually miss Levy.
So, you buy them now when they're developed. That's what big clubs do.
We have the worst medical team in England, and we’re now banking on none of our players getting injured between February and May.
We’re genuinely banking on there being three shitter teams than us this season, because we’re certainly not looking to improve.

I was replying to a post that was asking what players at lower clubs would improve us, like there wasn't any.Sure but there’s a couple of elements. Wharton and Anderson for example are wanted by united and Liverpool.. so if there’s a food chain, we’re below them.
The other element is about buying from pl clubs is that they’re all so rich now the don’t actually have to sell and thry can demand over the odds. I guess the solution is - pay over the odds. It’s how it is though.
My sister lives in Leith and I go along to a game with my brother in law sometimes when I'm there. Great club. Very poor standard of football thoughI used my friend's season ticket for a year when I lived in Leith. Fantastic club.

A player in his prime goes to a club as high up the food chain as he can.Exactly. A club of our stature / wealth should be buying players in their prime.
The clubs these players play for now are the development clubs. We're higher up the food chain.
you don't want us buying Gray and Bergvall? Only the finished article?Exactly. A club of our stature / wealth should be buying players in their prime.

You're talking about the .0000001% of players that are absolutely world class( Bale as your gotcha moment). None of the players we as fans want even come close to that bracket.A player in his prime goes to a club as high up the food chain as he can.
It’s why a prime Gareth Bale went to Real Madrid in 2013 while a prime Michael Tidser went to Rotherham United the same year. Hope that helps.
Oh,and this phenomenon isn’t unique to football.
