This is what I'm saying. I never said it was an issue. I agree we need some experience and grit in defemce. My argument is, is at 26, say he has a 4 year deal, takes him to 30. We wont make much profit on that £4m investment.

Doug says the clubs model is to buy young/cheap, improve, sell at profit to reinvest. Which works so far.... you still need some experience platters amongst the young lads. Im saying that £4m for Wolf is better than £10m for Huges, just at his age, we wont make much profit on that £4m. Nothing wrong with that because, as i said in another post, what's better? £100m for winning play-offs with Woolf? Or £5m + add ons from a Huges sale?

Definitely, you're right. I think it's a balance, on one end we have Grimes who will have no sell on value but adds immediate quality. On the other we have players, who may not make an immediate impact but could improve massively.

Wolf comes with plenty of experience that if this is only contract with us, we may not make a profit but unlikely to make much of a loss. That money can then be recycled.

On the other hand, he helps take us up and it is irrelevant.

That squad list just highlights the complete lack of depth on wings - an injury away from changing formation.

Lets be clear rapha is not quality back up and BTA does a "job".

Thanks. Soon to be plus Woolfenden and minus Sheaf by all accounts. The squad balance is changing. CAM and LW are obvious short comings

Serious questions need asking if we end up having to play that dreadful back 5 system again due to having horrible depth on the wings

I see Brau being backup/sharing with EMC in front of the defence with Rapha coving both left and right sides too.

We currently have 2. Bassette was an U21 so he doesn't affect the 25 man EFL limit.

Really don’t know what to make of this window.

Given it closes in just over 5 hours, it’s highly unlikely without any credible links that there will be much more incomings other than Woolfenden. We don’t seem to have learnt from past mistakes and put all our eggs in one basket. Clearly funds are not an issue if we’re putting in bids of £10m+ for players so to leave us shorter than we were at the start of pre-season with some really underwhelming squad players is a little bit bemusing.

That said, if you had of offered me for us to own the CBS and make little signings, I’d probably take it.

I don’t think we are much stronger than last season which is also a shame as the league is there for the taking this season. All 3 relegated sides look to be struggling and Sheff Utd are in the mud. We may have missed a genuinely good opportunity to cement ourselves as a top two candidate.

To be fair can’t other players than the ones mentioned also play on the wings. Looking at KKH, MVE, Wright, BTA?
