You say until shits sorted but signing a lot of players over the age of 30 isn't going to 'sort' anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not great, is it. That said, I've been reading comments from Preston fans that they completely changed their style of play once they were promoted. They became a lot more defensive which led to a lack of goals from the squad. That argument has some merit given they finished 11th in the league but were 20th in terms of goals scored. Other than a few clips I've never seen him play. However, the coaching team must have a lot of faith in him if they're willing to spend more than all previous transfers from the past two seasons combined (I think). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to agree with you, chap, but I'm underwhelmed. His signings last season were inspiration and Rossiter looks a player and a half but 'the old boys' look like make weights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-MAN Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 So why spend so much money FFS on short term "english" duds.Scottish football needs a strong Sevco apparently. I see the BBC that the cavemen think are against them were getting wet again tonight at the thought of another pensioner signing for them.Second place my arse, bring it on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a hope in hell that we're aiming to compete with celtic, we don't have the resources for that. We're signing some older players as stop gaps, as well as younger ones with potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As am I, either keep the squad you had last season or add young players like Windass, Dodoo, Rossiter etc and build on what was a good league campaign. Don't go and overspend on some players who used to be decent down in England at one point in their career. Someone like Jason Holt who was one of your key players last season, is now on the periphery thanks to signing players like Kranjcar and Barton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warburtons policy was spot on last year. He seems to have a plan. let him make the signings he sees fit within the financial constraints hes under. the proof will be where we are after 10 games. i think he deserves support. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I disagree with that, players like Kranjcar & Barton especially will not be on a fairly low wage, they'll be commanding high wages to play up here as will a player like Rossiter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question: Is there significant money to be made from merely getting into Europe? Obviously, obscene riches await if you reach the CL group stages, but what kind of money exists in the Europa League? Is it enough to make a vast difference to the standing of the club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem was last season we were lucky to get through the season with very few injuries, towards the end of the season showed how small our squad was. We needed to add to the squad and f Barton, hill, kranjcar etc give us a short term solution then fair enough. Holt's out injured just now, ankle problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
