Spot on.I don't know about that - I'd much rather bring Skipp through and give him a chance than bring in an over-payed and overrated player on loan who is barely interested.

Well, obviously noone would disagree with that. But what if we could bring in some real quality in CM and win something?I don't know about that - I'd much rather bring Skipp through and give him a chance than bring in an over-payed and overrated player on loan who is barely interested.

Well in that case don’t moan about not winning trophies, you can’t have it both ways. I’m all for bringing youth players through but not at the expensive of losing our level of quality in CM. If you seriously are saying you’d rather have Skipp than Kovacic that’s crazy. First of all, The Croatian hasn’t been that bad. To say he isn’t interested or over rated is incorrect. With the benefit of hindsight your POV may not sounds so wild right now, but if you’d said that last summer you’d have been driven to the insane asylum!
If people want to flood our first team squad with academy kids go ahead, but don’t expect us to win major trophies.
Might be something we have to review now that we’re struggling to get the next level player
The thing that perplexes me, slightly anyway, is that we should be a seriously attractive proposition now, and not just for young up and coming players, but seasoned pros as well.
We have come a long way in the last five years, playing a style of football that has most neutrals drooling over, and a manager who improves just about everyone he works with.
We have the long term infrastructure slotting into place with the new stadium/training facilities and the overall landscape surrounding the Club looks pretty as hell.
All we need is a few Quality additions to make that final step and we're potentially there.
Obviously it's never easy trying to improve a very good squad as it is, and I know we're hamstrung to an extent with the new stadium and what monies we're prepared to pay - although we'll never know the intricate detail on such - but I'm at a loss as to why we only ever hear negative snippets regarding potential signings.
Should we not be trying desperately to ride the crest of this wave before we're dismantled by our so called rivals?
It’s what I’ve been saying all season. Getting players out this window is the most important thing else we will have the same problem as this summer. Even Poch has come out and said it now.

I get that loan players aren’t ideal, we should be aiming for perm transfers, but the fact is we need quality and experience in there.

Always next summer.Would I rather blood a talented young player than loan in somebody who may be better quality? Yes I would. If that makes me mad then fine - like I said above I am fine with us buying a quality midfielder because we need one - I am not supportive of loaning in somebody who is only with us to try and get games for a move elsewhere rather than a kid from the academy who is desperate to play for the club who if given the chance could be a good player.
January is not really the best time to buy players that we really need. Once summer comes then I'll be hoping we spend big on great players just like everybody else will be but I'm also realistic about where we are right now.
Based on this boards outlook, no one does any way, what's your point?Well in that case don’t moan about not winning trophies, you can’t have it both ways.

Sorry for dampeners. Aside from my first post yesterday regarding possible loan backs. I am told very firmly that our preferred targets have much different preferences, and are prepared to hold out for them. Both January, and in the summer.
