This is what Hamer said 2 days after Sheff Utd move, to my daughter directly (quote) I was waiting to sign contract Doug said had been arranged, then he rang me to say they had agreed a fee with Sheff Utd, and i was to travel to see them, so it was Doug that decided . that was the quote from his mouth.

He has to spend on a quality midfielder in January, maybe two

I’m confident we’ll spend another 6-8

Let's hope we're not struggling so much that Doug has to consider the possibility of relegation and tightening down to cover the risk.
I'd expect 3 or so to be offloaded and 1 CM to come in, and maybe 1 loan.

Forced at gunpoint to sign, was he?

And why was he waiting?

I’d prioritise two. We look really exposed without Sheaf so we need a nuts and bolts midfielder. Then a creative midfielder in the Hamer mould. Be happy to return Ayari to free up some wages

I guess there’s a taxi waiting for Ayari? I hoped he’d perform better. But in a team of misfiring parts it’s never going to work.

He may have said that - but what he’s said v actual is somewhat different.

Certainly didn’t mean to accuse you of lying, more the version of events and narrative that was being spun

Sinclair Armstrong would have been a great addition in the summer. Young enough to develop considerably, a lot of similarities to Vik in terms of playing style, quick AND strong. Goal return not the best at present but I think he could get there

Whose money were we using before the Vik transfer then ? City is a loss making business.

Not his i assure you

The only money that Dougs 'put in' to the club so far is the Ryton renovations. And thats only because its the only tangible asset the club have for when he flogs us on in the next few years

If you can re-incarnate Roy Keane go for it with your 100m. We need time and patience and support, as frustrating as it is.

At this point any January signings are likely going to be loans.

In striker or strikers, none are working either individually or collectively. Fresh legs might spark a partnership off.

We could do with a 4th choice striker but we’re unlikely to see significant investment there after the money spent. It would be an admission of failure by Robins.

I am not sure it is an admission of failure and even if it is surely it's better to do that than buy another CM, when we already have our two best players in that position. Maybe Simms and Wright will turn out to be great in the long term, but they are clearly not exactly performing brilliantly yet and we need to give them time. So what we need is an experienced striker as well as a creative attacking midfielder.

The problem I have with Haji Wright is his lack of aggression and you can’t train or coach that imo. I hope I sit here in a month or two swallowing these words but at the moment I just don’t see it.
