Absolute shambles!

Thu Feb 01, 2018 8:38 am

A striker, a winger and a center midfielder on the fringes of a prem breakthrough with a top six club. I'd say that was just what the doctor ordered!

OK it was always going to be dissapointing getting anyone bar Grabbon, but more fool you for getting too sucked into it!

The Grabbon deal was always going to go down this way. He's far too expensive for us and his head is far too big. We're better off having players with the right mentality.

And once again, we haven't been held ransome. We'll done to the club.

An absolute shambles some people are saying... I think not...

Great job Mr. Warnock!

Haven’t been held to random yet we set 6m aside for Gary Madine :lol:

But yeah it’s not the disaster some are claiming

Isn't it only if we go up?... We won't be complaining if he bags a handful of goals and we get promoted it's absolute peanuts. And if we don't we've got a championship player who's just scored ten goals in half a season for 2m. Remeber Zohore scored ten goals in half a season and we wanted 15m for him :|

I think it's been a successful window, strengthened in every position required.

On paper the only loss is tomlin who hardly features and Warnock clearly doesn't trust.

Bet it would have cost best part of 1.5 Mil to get grabban here anyway so what's better 's loan at that price or 2m upfront for a good champ striker and no more if stay in champ cannot lose really?

Well presume we pay wages plus fee so being premiership player won't be cheap will he? It's an uneducated guess could be more even :laughing6: but just saying it wouldn't be for nothing his loan :thumbup:
