Agents and prudence

[Harrisblade]

This is where you my abusive friend are ignorant. I am not saying we need a quick fix, nor have I said anything about bankrupting our club. Say it again, if you have aspirations for the top you need to play the game, if you can't afford a player, fine move on. If you can afford a player but won't pay the agent then it's a bit short sighted. It's the name of the game today I'm afraid, like it or not if we are going to get to the next level we have to play the agent game.

Do you want to buy my house for £100?

Pure hindsight.

There's no accounting for the ridiculous number of injuries to our strikers we currently have.

If Donaldson doesn't get his injury then we're all happy with how it's worked out.

We all applauded Wilder when he openly expressed his reluctance to bow to the greed of agents thus denting a move for Devante Cole and Sinclair on deadline day. Morally brilliant, treat the money like your own I love that, but on a day like today with our 3 main strikers out injured can we afford not to play the agent game? This season could be anything yet but clearly today we missed those strikers that didn't arrive on deadline day. If we are going to mount a challenge to get back into the big time we have to think big and unfortunately the modern game involves greedy agents. The higher we go in the league, the higher the stake levels rise and if we want to get back to the Premiership agents I'm afraid are a necessary evil.

Today was incredibly unlucky with the injuries, the team played great as always but prudence and morals may have cost us 3 valuable points. Lets grit our teeth in January and the players we want, not the players that come with cheaper agent commission.

How far did you fall of the Bat Pole ?

 

[Harrisblade]

Missing my point. We would have had more options 100%

How many options is the right number and what do you do with them when everyone is fit?

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

apart from the big six no teams carry 6 strikers

My point would be we are maybe carrying six strikers of which four ain't up to championship standard.

Bat pole? How would I know that, Batman is hell of a guy but I don't know him.

Seen it, give you £25 and only if you clear out the chickens and goats.

Having stared at League One tables for longer than I care to remember I am happy to work on consolidate and will buy into everything Wilder has done this far.

Your point of view is simplistic and quick fix. Just saying "if we want to be successful we have to pay" doesn't do it for me. We have 6 strikers at the club. No one was complaining about that until 5pm tonight. We are still in the top 6, which is above where everyone expected to be. Now, if come the end of November we are plummeting down the table then that may be the time to re-evaluate, not in September when everything is actually going alright.

Small minded.
