Baz, I am with you on the recruitment. I know that there are only a few decent players around in January and the selling club tend to be in the dominant position but I still believe there are players out there who could improve us.

If you look back on my posts of recent years I am always banging the same drum at this time of year. the lone market. pick up a £100k/ w player for the last 20 weeks of the season. He costs us £2m. If he improves our position in the league that at least £1m the club gains.

If we bought a £100k/ w, £20m player over 4 years the total cost would be £10m/ year anyway.

Baz, I think we’re all in agreement that well targeted recruitment is need in Jan, whether on permanent terms or loan, but the question is ‘who? ’.

Agree with you there axe, we need a decent defender and a creative spark. But let’s be honest here has Victor done that well with past recruitment?
Meslier Rapha and possibly llorente aside he’s signed so proper duds.

It keeps boiling down to the same question, who is available mid season, who is quality, better than we have already got and not at a extreme inflated price?
The elite clubs can probably do it, but we are not an elite club.

Medlier was actually spotted by the goalkeeping coach - another myth that Orta is happy to claim as his own genius. Snake oil anyone?
