As a manager in any bussness you have to manage any budget correctly and this is we're slade has NOT. Jones Hooper cardwell Vernon assante matt Wilks vernam that's 8 strikers now at the club. For argument sake if each player costs our club 700 pound per week then our total weekly pay to these players is 5600. I am certain if we had 4 strikers at the club on 1400 per week which totals 5600 per week the outlook would be very different bottom line is that you get what you pay for in life not just footballers but with any product.

Would you rather have 6 strikers that are not great/out of favour/not good enough or 8 including the aforementioned 6 plus 2 talented strikers on loan that we may not be paying much for?

As my other old mother used to say 'buy cheap buy twice'


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Most clubs do pay loan fees and more often then not they do pay towards there's wages you could say as a goodwill guessture. So no loan players are generally not free as you put it.

Russell Slade did say in one of his interviews that loan players are quite expensive at this time of the year.

So Slade comes in, moans he hasn't got much wriggle room vis a vis signings and makes an already large and reasonably average squad, even bigger and worse in quality. Cracking job there.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Jones is a midfielder, Matt is a decent hold up man, Vernum has started well as we home this new kid does. Vernon is a player on the way down and not Slade’s fault.

However it’s criminal that Slade signed the garbage Hooper and Cardwell after spending so much time looking at them. Throw in his treatment of Asante and you can look where most of the blame lies

All long as they are all back defending corners he won't see a problem with  a 2, 8 formation.

To be fair Jones is not a striker by trade, Cardwell is “under development” Asante is unproven and it’s not worked out how he would have liked but that’s not his fault. Matt on for offers something different and the last 2? Well 3 weeks ago every fuker was moaning we didn’t have any striking options
