Well that's always been my logic, Ash. Not can we afford to buy players but can we afford not to. The cost of relegation surely amounts to a much bigger hit on the finances.

Isn't that a dwarf porn site?:D

I considered moving on to here from GMK but decided against it! :D

Not all about statistics of course, but based on what we know of him and what he was done historically it all points to a goal return of maybe 10-12 goals a season at best. Surely the stats are worth debating? Did we not look at manager's previous records when we employed them?

I think you can buy Scotland for 6 million.

On the pitch or at the buffet cart?

Just checked his stats season by season since and he has had a few good seasons,most of them some time ago however. 2003 - 2004 - 3 goals in 28 appearances 2004 - 2005 - 26 goals in 51 appearances 2005-2006 - 14 goals in 33 appearances 2006-2007 - 10 goals in 40 appearances 2007 - 2008 - 2...

Well there's stats and there's stats!! Like the multiplied by a potential 46 games!! :claping hands:

I quite like Platt too. The only way you can accommodate Platt though is alongside a fast, pacy striker for knock downs etc. Certainly don't think Platt is suited to our style of play now. Think the same can be said for Parkin too.

I am pretty sure that the board will have made some half-hearted promises to AT about what he can expect in terms of transfer budget etc. i am also pretty sure he wouldn't have been told that he would have to work with a squad of about 19 players and have to blood 17 year old kids week in week...

Sorry but where is his 12+ goals per season? Years Team Apps† (Gls)† 1998–2002 Barnsley 13 (0) 2001–2002 → Hartlepool 1 (0) 2002 → York City 18 (2) 2002–2004 York City 58 (12) 2004–2006 Macclesfield 73 (32) 2006–2007 Hull City 52...

Yep! Of course we have a big enough fan base. Anyone who was there in 1987 when some quarter of a million people lined the streets and about 100,000 were trying to get tickets to the cup final tells you all you need to know. Chelsea in the cup was another game everyone wanted to come to. Bottom...

But I don't see replacing a young promising forward with someone much older and coming nearer to the end of his career building for League One. I have always been okay with City selling players to make a bit of profit and for them then to bring some new players in, but the way to go with that...

He's a big player for sure. So big they named a cake after him!

Well let me know when the bidding stops at 10 million!

Well this is my big fear. that along with the potential that he could be a replacement for Juke! :facepalm:

I'm sure we'll all back him once he pulls a Sky Blue shirt over his head. that's if he can get it over his head, but I think most of us are disappointed because he isn't the type of player we are really crying out for.

Yes, every 4.22 games. i can't wait!

If it means players are having to go out of the club to fund them are we? Just wondering. Broady is going to say that he kept his word and brought players in, but it is no good if we already have a paper thin squad and all we are doing is replacing good players with cheaper alternatives is...

Poor first touch, not fit enough and not a good work ethic. He will fit in just fine!!
