What premier/top championship players can Slade bring in?

Wed Oct 08, 2014 8:20 pm

I see Slade as a manager who can do a job here given the striker options he has and his attacking style of football.
But
as a club with big ambition and previous big names signed to CCS, will his reputation as a league one Leyton Orient manager effect us in our transfer dealings?

I doubt it, footballers want one thing and that's money.

Absolutely. But then Tan employed him to unearth lower league, cheap signings that prove to be astute signings. The days of splashing big cash on players are gone.

I am in favour of bringing in one or two over thirties to settle the younger players down and find their best form with them about. It's almost become a no-no with clubs only interested in players 18 - 25 due to the obsession with sell-on values.
