royalp-weSimon's Churchroyalp-we Shoot me down and I will no doubt will get a load of grief but a player like forestieri or knockaert are the type of players who consistently perform for teams in the top half of the chump.
As it stands, we lack those types of character and we’ll be very lucky to make mid table (which I’d be happy with tbh) but as football fans we always want better. As much as it’s a nice thought to just recruit ‘young and hungry’, that alone won’t get us around the playoffs. Which is where we want to be, right?
Aside from the fact Forestieri has been a bit part player for a bottom half team for 3 years, I think I agree that we'd finish higher in the table if we had better players. I wonder if the club has considered it.
If you read the thread my point was not about us signing better players. It was about signing 1 or 2 experienced players in midfield and / or attack.
Crack on if you’re happy watching a bunch of kids running round like headless chickens in the middle of the park.
I'd much prefer a headless chicken trying his heart out than a pension-taking has-been (Edwards & Meyler spring immediately to mind)
