Why are people acting like it’s ridiculous to have 5 wingers?
Having 4 is the bare minimum if you’re playing a formation with wingers. You’re pretty much always going to sub at least one if not both. Having 5 covers us for injury and just ups the competition.
In terms of other positions- all the (limited) noise suggests we’re trying.
It's always frustrating and confusing when you follow transfer activity day by day. So really you have to remind yourself that signings don't get completed/announced in priority order. We likely do have funds to invest if an opportunity arises on a player that the recruitment team strongly believes will return a profit. Markelo definitely feels in that bracket.
Judge the window as a whole when it is done. I think it's fair to say if we don't strengthen one of LB, CB or CDM in this window we've made a big mis-step and Doug/Dean can be rightly criticised for that.
Relax, spending money on a winger is a positive, it means we have funds, there is time left to do more business.
Basically you need to disregard anything you read on Facebook and most of twitter. Doug has plugged the leaks and transfer policy isn't something we'll know.
It's all speculation at this point. For me I would imagine after seeing Rudoni struggle to get any sort of form (clearly the shoulder not right) the recruitment team decided that we need more cover for him, we already have Esse who can fill in there so of our existing targets Markelo was the best to come in and take the RW spot so Esse can move central.
Not sure why some on here need to read that as the end of Tats or mean Rudi is gone,
