RE: WBA 2018/19 January Xfer Window - Blue Baggie - 06-12-2018
Is he available on a free? Forget it then. If we want to sign Gayle or Barnes we need to save all our pennies. And probably sell a couple more established
players. We have NO spare cash. This idea of Darren having a treasure chest is a Pirates of the Caribbean dream. With the parachute payments we have enough to balance the books that's it. What we need is a wealthy owner who is interested and has a bit of cash to invest in the team. Lai is probably reluctant to spend any money after a £40 million splash last year saw us relegated.

Signing Barnes is a pipe dream imo.
There's no way Leicester would even consider selling him at the moment.
Personally I think they think he's got the potential to be a top player. And they're right.
Unfortunately its gonna take some clever signings from lower leagues or
from abroad, as Josh has mentioned previously, to try and rebuild for the
seasons to come if we cant gain promotion this season.
If we can... then its time again to throw the silly money around again I guess?

We don't have any other money to throw around - the pot be empty.
We have a DoF and a head of recruitment lets hope they turn up a couple of bargains - they are out there. e.g. "Dack" only cost Blackburn £850,000 18 months ago, we just need to find a couple of guys like him.
If we don't get promoted we need to save £10M next year and £30M following year and £15M after that as the parachute payments dry up. If we stay down we wont be able to keep our good players never mind throw money around.

Pirates of the Caribbean! Brought back a few memories Phil.
My son and family including 3 year old grandson went to Disneyworld Florida in October. He’s nuts on pirates at the min and thought it was amazing which it is and probably the best ride in the Magic Kingdom. He insists on being called ‘Cap’n Hook at the moment!

Why are we constantly buying/signing players in their thirties instead of early twenties at the same time as releasing our quality academy graduates who then go on to blossom and succeed at our rivals ...... build for the future, a squad should be 70% players in their twenties, 20% players in late twenties early thirties and 10% youth 18- 20 year olds. Experience, youthful exuberance and steadily improving / maturing quality players. Keep signing oldies they will keep needing to be replaced ....... stairs, how many players do we have that our approaching, at or past the end of the road and need to replaced within two years .......
Last season's disappointment was an ideal time to sweep clean and build foundations, we're still building on ground of sand.

At the end of January we will know if we are going all out for promotion or relegation.
