Terrible decision to leave 2 minutes ago, Bigdoggsteel said: Thanks. What would we do without you So four posts later, as I said, I hope we sign some natural wingers. You're welcome. And to take it back to the actual discussion, your assertion that 'Mahoney would have played' is not borne out by the fact he played strikers on the wing. He chose to play strikers on the wing, even when he had wingers to choose from (Chapman, Conway. Mahoney last season). Your assertion was not correct based on the evidence. Try to keep up.

Pedro Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Anyone else heard any rumours of Arab investment in the summer? Not a club sale but the V's getting some financial help off some friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought they might be running money through the club for someone else anyway Seriously though i'm not sure if that would be a good thing or bad thing now things have finally got on a more even keel. Anything like this will involve another agent or super agent or two and we know what follows all that. Money's only any good if it's used properly ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, they should stay away indefinitely. There's no benefit to them turning up, only potential negatives. Let Waggott and Mowbray be the public face of the club over here. That'll do me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDRover Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Ollie McBurnie has bagged his 9th for a poor Barnsley side this season. He'd be perfect to support/cover Graham up top next season if we can get him on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 It's coming up to season ticket selling time folks we get similar things put about every year, they're selling. they're investing heavily, they're looking for investment.

Backroom DE. Posted April 28, 2018 Backroom Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'd be wary of looking at too many League 1 players for next season. I think it was Den who used to say something like "buy Championship players, get Championship football", and if we buy too many L1 players we'll end up back there for the 19/20 season. There are definitely some gems in the lower leagues, but if they're older than 24/25 there's going to be a reason they're playing there. I suppose a lot depends on our budget, but I'll be uneasy if too many L1 players are on our radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the hope that kills you isn’t it genuinely thought we’d see a bit of investment. Gonna be horrible this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
