Funny how some of wilders comments from that article aren’t in any of the other ones having a go at recruitment!A slightly more balance article here https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spo...-transfer-window-recruitment-strategy-3126391
Anyone else starting to get fucked off with this shit.
The cynic in me is saying this is Wilder's circle taking the opportunity to deflect blame for the likely relegation.
It's noise and nonsense. Ironically.
Hi, Stegosaurus here
I wish I'd wrote this first
Then don't spend itBut if the 120m has to be spent signing players that nobody else in the league wants, it's unreasonable to assume they should improve us.
My understanding was with the Ben Davies thing was that he simply didn't want to come.
Well that’s easy, Tariq Lamptey, Emile Buendia, Ivan Toney, Ben Davies and Ben Foster would have cost considerably less and would have not cleaned out the total annual transfer budget?If PA wanted the funding he provided to work out well on the pitch, he'd have forked out more for A. Robinson, Cash and Watkins.
We get the players no other team wants. When Wilder turns them into superstars (as he often does) he is rightly heralded as a genius. When they don't come off, people assume he could've done better with the budget he had. If anyone has any names of who we should have signed, with hindsight, please provide.
Did you know Lamptey's name before he went to Brighton? Did you suggest we should spend 5m on him?Well that’s easy, Tariq Lamptey, Emile Buendia, Ivan Toney, Ben Davies and Ben Foster would have cost considerably less and would have not cleaned out the total annual transfer budget?

Didn't know Buendia was given the go ahead to leave Norwich. How much did they quote to Arsenal for him, 60mill?
I remember the forum being split on whether or not we should sign another permanent LCB to cover O'Connell after injury, most seemed against it.
Was Ben Foster for sale? Not seen anything saying they'd accept a low bid for him, what would you say if they wanted 10mill for him? Then there's his wage, he'd want far more than Ramsdale is on. Length of contract? He would want a couple of years at least, at 37 is that an obvious decision?
So in hindsight, we didn't find a couple of gems. Lamptey would've gone to Brighton if we went in for him anyway. Not sure the situation with Davies, if he was available or not, but fair enough.You said ‘in hindsight’
Well it’s all irrelevant anyway, because we bought the players we bought, rightly or wrongly.So in hindsight, we didn't find a couple of gems. Lamptey would've gone to Brighton if we went in for him anyway. Not sure the situation with Davies, if he was available or not, but fair enough.
Even in hindsight, could we have signed Foster? I doubt it. We definitely couldn't have signed Buendia though. That's like saying in hindsight we should've gone for Messi.
We were quoted £10 million for Davies.So in hindsight, we didn't find a couple of gems. Lamptey would've gone to Brighton if we went in for him anyway. Not sure the situation with Davies, if he was available or not, but fair enough.

Ref Ben Foster. Given he’s settled down there would he really be interested in coming to Sheffield for a year for similar money?Did you know Lamptey's name before he went to Brighton? Did you suggest we should spend 5m on him?
