Don’t worry about the back and forth bud. Happy to have the civilised debate!
I would think that surely the club could look at their budget, set their thoughts out and with Austin look to scout players who haven’t played at championship level, but could be developed and improve our depth. Surely it’s possible to say this is what we have, who would be the best two players we could find at that range and have further potential?
Personally, I think we've moved on from here as a club. As a lower championship team and as a team looking to push towards the play-offs, finding lower league gems cheap and improving them was a good model.
However, as a team that is now looking at promotion, not play-offs or there or there abouts, actual promotion, we need to find the better players from teams below us in our league. That have experience of winning games in this league and can improve us. Matt Grimes being the perfect example. Not only then are we bringing g in experience, but were sending a message to others that we're now a serious club.
Granted, if a great looking player like Rudoni is in L1 and we can, then why not. But even then, he wasnt a "cheap" buy at £5m or whatever it was. Matt Grimes was actually cheaper when you look at it that way. And Grimes hit the ground running, Rudoni took half a season to show what he was actually capable of doing.
