Why would they sit on the bench?

Because we’re talking about someone who would be “proper cover”, in your words

We should try and sign the best players we can and Torp was a fairly cheap signing. We can definitely buy someone as good as him.

Given he’s one of the league’s best performing midfielders this season, that’s going to cost you. And we will soon need someone much better than Torp, never mind as good as him.

Jonas Wind had thigh surgery at the end of November and hasn't played since.

Well we should try and buy someone much better then. If we are as guaranteed PL football as you believe it’ll be no harder than if we wait until summer.

That’s fine, but it sounds like we’re not entirely sure what we’re after. There’s a big difference between cover for Torp and a nailed-on Premier League starter.

We’re not making the decisions though the club are. They will be very clear on who they are after and the attributes they need to have.

I agree. All we can do is speculate, and I think that those who think someone like Eccles isn’t “proper cover” in our midfield is talking rubbish.

The more we win without signing anyone might disuade Doug from spending anything until the summer. Thats my concern

Why is winning a concern?

So if we piss the next few games your worried that Doug won't throw good money straight down the drain?

Mental.

Let's hope it doesn't happen, would be awful if we kept winning games and didn't sign anyone, don't even want to imagine where that ends up

Again. We should sign the best players we can attract to the club.

Have you got an egg I can suck. "Best"and "attract" are also very subjective. Fans often have opinions which are influenced by bullshit, speculation and very little factual information when it comes to transfers.

I sometimes wonder whether the club are failing or are the club just failing on some fans fantasy wishlist?

It doesn't change the real reality of the situation...
We are in a good place, the current squad got us here, it needs minor tweaks and support, not a major rebuild.

The summer will be our important market. I expect they are already working on it.
