Ric Flair Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 9 minutes ago, Chocolate Teapot said: Is it a suprise though? We continually think we're fine due to players being about to return and them being 'like new signings' - only they never return ti the level and will get niggling injuries along the way, on top of many long term injuries. And that in itself highlights the complete ignorance the club has around the ongoing injury problems. Still firmly think it they couldn't have been avoided but yet suddenly they won't occur again.

Personally think they're saving their money till the summer ad they know Europe is unlikely and a rebuild us required.
fazzyfox Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 I read that it's very likely that this is who we'll be signing today

Matt_Lcfc Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 I know we are cash strapped but I hope we gamble on a player looking to be loaned out. I cannot see it happening, mind.

Rigga Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 We won’t be signing anyone… and will be relying on the Youri money in summer to strengthen..

turlo Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 Risky not to bring another defender in when we're only an injury away from playing Vestergaard at CB and only have 1 fully fit full back. Saying that the last thing we want is another Bennett/Vestergaard disaster. Sounds like we tried for a couple of younger CBs on loan but clubs weren't budging

RowlattsFox Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 I think we will sneak a centre back in somehow. Quality might be questionable though
Dames Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 Looks like we're getting nobody. Another season has gone by without really strengthening at the mid-season point. For all the talk about finances maybe if the board had gambled a little bit we'd have been playing Champions League football and be better off. I know the owners/board are sacred around here but 3 seasons in a row with no real strengthening at the mid-season point reeks of no ambition. With the injury problems we have and the season in dire need of saving its almost negligible that funds haven't been made available. Other clubs have managed it with similar incomes and revenue/expenditure to us.

foxfanazer Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 I keep seeing people saying we're cash strapped. Why are we?
Rigga Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 We are going to fall behind not only the top 6 but also West Ham, Villa and Newcastle. So realistically EL may be a struggle in future years.. Spending money on the training pitch and the ground development to come.. I think we have to take a couple of backward steps before we push on again.. just hope when we have the extra capacity we are able to fill it..

Apart from the covid hit, we spent £55 million net in the summer. We get virtually nothing for our fringe players when we sell them and we have a very high wage bill. 1

Given our success in recent years, you'd expect us to have a decent amount of money to spend without relying on player sales. But I guess its to do with the money tied into the stadium development and the training ground. I understand the need to be sensible and do think its the right way to go but its frustrating when we are not strengthening. 1

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 Don't waste your time lads, we're not doing anything.
SecretPro Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 Why are we so piss poor compared to the likes of Villa / West Ham?
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 31 January 2022 Posted 31 January 2022 8 minutes ago, foxfanazer said: I keep seeing people saying we're cash strapped. Why are we? Little to no money being made available by the owners, no sales to fund transfers, loans being taken out against future earnings to fund the expansion/seagrave, extremely high wage to turnover ratio.
