In all honesty we need to stop with the 'all loans policy', how many players have we actually signed of late apart from Johnstone? I do understand the hesitance to sign players, as the type of player we would need 'if' promoted would not be the same as we need in the Championship. However if we wait until we are in the Premiership, we will be back to the has been's or the over 30's. We need to be smart and look for young up and coming players or players who are currently under the radar (Bring Back Dan), so who knows if this deal for Alberth Elis comes off, it could be good, he could also go down like a lead balloon with the football here, so far he has only played in the Honduran, Mexican and American leagues, so not the best pedigree, How many would Jay or DG score in those leagues. The 11 goals a season for two seasons on the trot is not so impressive when you look at it in that way. I still think, like many, a dynamic midfielder is our priority, not necessary another right winger who can play at CF. If as stated the asking price is £5 million I cannot see us spending much if any more, so we have to prioritise, we can be very hopeful for our academy products but even if they come up trumps they will still need back up (assuming they all sign new contracts and stay).
