11/12 GOOD PLAYERS OR 4-5 QUALITY PLAYERS?

Sat Aug 17, 2013 8:33 pm

Would you of rathered see us bring in 11 good players maybe out of contract with prem experience and a few in on cheap deals - or spend 30 million on 4-5 quality players?

great ambition with the money spent but my worry is at some point this season with injury and suspensions we will probably end up fielding a championship side, such as cowie, conway, mason , macnaughton etc.

Also what if cornelius flops and caulker or medal go missing? I dont mean missing as in last seen at reading services on saturday evening, I mean long suspension or injury 3 games or more.
effectively we have 19 million quid pissed up the wall.
we could of done so, so much with 19 million -
IMO the reason we've gone less quantity and ambitious is for sell on value in 1 - 3 years time, we also keep the wage bill down effectively rather than splash out on 12 players with no future sell on advantages and falk out on their wages (thats not really the kind of business you would expect an aspiring billionaire to run)
so it does make sense,
but I think we are taking an absoloutely huge Risk, almost a spin on a roulette wheel

Quality over quantity every time,but we also need the manager to pick the right players for their rightful positions,there was a one or two players today playing in the wrong positions.Square pegs round holes comes to mind,you cannot get away with bit part players in this league.

We should definitely look at Carlton Cole. Every time Turner lumped it forward today towards Fraizer Campbell I wanted to punch the wall in anger.

The guy is to scared to wriggle out of trouble or play it and instead just relies on thumping it. We definitely need another centre back to come in, hopefully someone with a bit of passing pedigree who can feed it into midfield as Caulker looks good enough to do the rest.

I would have said 1 or 2 more before today but my word now its 4 or 5.
