Ok so were we still spending the Gus and Vic money when we spent i *think* £4mill on Grimes?Firstly, we had a load of money last year from Vic and Gus. May get a further windfall but certainly not as much. We have saleable assets that may weaken not strengthen the team. Everyone is up for grabs if the price is right. MVE or Rudoni would be difficult to replace.
JDS has been brilliant in the last few games. I guess he was a Viveash recommendation, but had an amazing pedigree.
BTA is a player who needs to run on to balls and is not a great player with his back to the play. Injuries have blighted his season. When we played a counter attacking system enforced by injuries he looked good. Absolutely no evidence other than rumour that he was somehow solely a Robins buy.
We have cash money, not ludicrous amounts and its managed tightly, but we certainly arent fishing for free agents to the like of oli mcburnie.
(I also like both BTA and Da Silva and think both should be retained and be part of a wider squad)
This summer we will almost certainly have Gyokeres sell on money to spend, possibly Hamer too, i suspect atleast one of Simms, Wright, Sheaf or MVE to go for decent wedge too. Again, this means we can reinvest in the squad, meaning we dont need to be fishing in barrels for absolute shite discarded by other teams, which is my main point.
