Kernow Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Just to be clear (if anyone thinks they are clear on it!?!) are we now targeting Stephens as well as or instead of Butterfield?Well Paul Clement says we are two short long term, three short while Bryson is out. So we'll be looking to bring in two midfielders, whether that's Stephens and Butterfield, or one or the other plus one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfb Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Just to be clear (if anyone thinks they are clear on it!?!) are we now targeting Stephens as well as or instead of Butterfield?or are we looking like we're in for Stephens when in reality we're not, so that udders suddenly think we're off and they lose loads of money and capitulate ??

SuperSheep Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Prices are going to be even higher than normal because all the teams know we're drastically short in the midfield area at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Hobhead Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If we're daft enough to sign Stephens, let alone for money he'll never be worth, then surely we can pay what Huddersfield are asking for Butterfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Prices are going to be even higher than normal because all the teams know we're drastically short in the midfield area at the moment PC is an experienced 'coach' so surely it isn't too much to expect him to select a forward '6' - in all manner of formations - out of Weimann, Martin, Bent, Ince, Baird, Russell, Dawkins, Thorne... without pushing the panic button? Within a game or two we will have more players back too. Most managers will say they want more players, but surely now is when they earn their money? If we can get a great player at the right price, great...but the prices being quoted for some players are madness. I think we have bought sensibly so far, let's not get caught up in the current madness and hold our nerve, I thought that's what having a squad was about?

Carl Sagan Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 After the Brum game we'll have Hendrick and Hanson back to go alongside Thorne, Baird and Dawkins. A couple of weeks on we'll have Bryson too. The loan window soon opens. No need at all to press a panic button. I don't get the impression it will happen, but I hope one of the U21s is on the bench tonight by way of encouragement, getting a taste of the real deal on the day of the match and coming on if they're called upon. What a fillip that would be. If we're targeting Championship players as seems to be the brief, they should be exceptional for us to want to bring them in. Possibly young Dale is that. I don't know.

Gandalf's shin pads Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It would seem like we are looking to sign both Butterfield and Stephens and take Harrison Reed on loan then? (or are we seeing who bites first!?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It would seem like we are looking to sign both Butterfield and Stephens and take Harrison Reed on loan then?

It's called the Butterfield Effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
