Can remember Mel saying loans are not the way forward, getting a couple in is OK but buying quality and developing your youngsters is the best way to develop a squad , how things have changed.

Oh how we wish Butterfield, Blackman , Anya etc would have been loans to begin with ... we wouldn't have fired 10million down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but Mel changes his tune to fit, he has left us in a bad way, with poor decision after poor decision. But at least Rooney and the players are giving it there all, for me Rooney is doing a very tough job very well at the mo long may it continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 32 minutes ago, DCFClks said: But if we sign a winger then Knight can move back into midfield and Shinnie can move back into CDM. It's not as good as when Bielik was there but it's still good. I don't think anyone we signed could have replaced Bielik. Shinnie is up there with Bielik in tackling ability but the biggest miss will be Bielik's aerial presence. Agree we’re probably alright in terms of starters in CDM - though I’d go with Bird there rather than Shinnie. But it’s the depth that worries me. We’ve got Knight and Sibley for the most advanced role, which is ok. But for the other two slots, we’ve only got Shinnie and Bird. That’s dangerously short in my view.

Asanovic70 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 We haven't got any money & I think Rooney & the coaching staff are doing well under the circumstances. I'm sure he had a first preferred choice of players who might have cost fees, but obviously the protracted farce, I mean takeover, silly me, means he has been forced to use the second list he had in reserve. At the risk of being of accused of blowing smoke up our manager's bottom, I think he & the rest of the coaching team are the main ones holding things together. We've sold two players for over £1m & look like bringing in at least two promising youngsters to supplement the team/squad rather than be the spine of the team. We've already lost one key player at the back (Curtis D) and now Bielik, so Mengi has come in as back up and hopefully Baningime also arrives to offer the same. I doubt we had to pay Stoke a loan fee for Gregory as O'Neill knows they have to trim the squad. I'm a born pessimist, but this is as good a window we could have hoped for under the present situation if Rooney & the club can prevent the likes of Knight from getting sold to Burnley & the humiliation of selling Sibley to Leeds. We have also sent a message that our best young players won't go on the cheap despite the financial turmoil. OK, you might argue about Whittaker, but Rooney subbed him as a sub. It may be Steve Cooper brings the best out of him, but we need more experience up front now and it's a sacrifice I accept. It's been a 7/10 . It could have been worse, it could have been better.
