Deano’s wishlist - the Jan transfer speculation/guaranteed nonsense thread

[footyskillz]

Yes with the sporting directiir and CEO .

Smith prefers term 'spinning plates' to bruce 'irons in the fire'

Ads or anyone have any other phrases we could call such Transfer tryouts ?

 

"Balls in the air"
Just too easy to misinterpret.

Haha it's good!!
Ah so it's like ball juggling !!

Maybe then looking at a few 'ball jugglers for our performing circus'

However I like to think gone are the days where we recruit
'clowns for the circus'

Reducing the overall average age of a squad is as much a sensible business decision, as it is a sensible sporting/performance decision.

So it would make sense that Smith, Purslow and Wasiris are all thinking the same, albeit they may have different agendas.

It's quite amazing how much some of them will be on with no resale value. Jedinak, Richards, Whelan and their contracts ending probably frees up £100k a week and £5.2m a year off the wage bill.

Frightening.

He meat with Sawiris and Purslow in London apparently. Sounds like a strategic meeting for long term planning as much as anything.

BBQ?

Sadly, without a decent midfielder coming in I can see us struggle - hope the rumours about Sawyers are true. How long does it take to get a footballer from Bruce fit to Smith fit anyway? Surely 3 months is plenty?

[OCD]

It's always sounded like these owners wanted to emphasise a youthful approach and Smith's management style requires it for his tactics.

And how often, as a club, are we going to fall for going for the experienced approach only to get nowhere and end up with very costly players (fees and wages), only to have no re-sale value and not got anywhere from it.

And thank god we're looking at players who've got legs.

I’d have thought that it’s pretty difficult to improve fitness levels mid-season. What with preparing for games and then recovering from games etc.

The real fitness benefit will come once Smith has a full pre-season with them.

Looking at him for LB I’ve been told

[Villa75]

The age of our squad is exactly why Smith needs a plan B and even, God forbid, a plan C. Quite apart from the fact that it keeps the opposition on their toes.

Sounds like they were just getting together to 'chew the fat'.

We can hope Mings will be merciless in defense

Has Mings come back from a long term injury recently?
