" Stick or twist? "

While Neil Warnock isn't a man to splash the cash, Tan will know he won't get a better chance to get a return on his investment. I think the purse strings will be available for Warnock to bring somebody in even if it costs a few quid. Without the injuries I wouldn't say it was needed, but assessing us now it's clear for a promotion push we need new blood. Will tan stick or twist? Am going twist. :thumbup:

January is an awful time to spend. Certainly hope we don't spent much. We need a couple of players though, maybe loans or a cheaper perm deal for someone out of contract in the summer.

I think he really wants a few mil he will get it. But we won't be held ransom for inflated January fees so for this reason I can't see any permanent moves going through unless it's a free.

I think they have both already answered that question, and Warnock has said that January is not the best time to be looking for top quality players.

Gareth, If we want to stay in the Top 2,Warnock knows he will need to spend a fem £million either on high wages/loan players even buying a player.

With all our continual injuries Warnock also knows and has lined up a minimum of two players to come in,which has cost money in wages,but will be subsides by offloading a couple of existing players,that might keep us in the Top 6?

Its a fact those that strengthen in January do well the second-half of the season :thumbright: :thumbright: :bluebird:

Tan is not letting Warnock have big money,so what little money Warnock will receive,I believe will be spent wisely by Warnock :thumbright: :thumbright:

Warnock himself said he needed new players :thumbright:

Don’t think we can keep falling back on the injury excuse now that most of our first team are back,

More frustratingly for me, is he can’t see to find a place for two of our most anticipated summer signings in tomlin and Patterson


Mendez Laing needs to do more to

Zohore needs to be much more involved in the game. Ok he’s not exactly full fitness right now, but he looks exactly like he did before his injury and I was hoping he would look a little more lively, he’s the main focal point of the team and needs to act like it.


That’s just what is here currently, before we look at bringing in improvements, we need to see more from the players we have.
