Recently on here and other forums I have seen our fans claim we should sign such and such a player with the justification 'He's better then what we have' Adam, Samba, Warnock, Hammil, Pienarr.
Before Hodgson left he said we would be targeting two groups of players. Top class signings that would walk into the team and stay there and young players with huge potential, this policy i believe is Commoli's and FSG's and that is the structure I think Kenny is working within. In my opinion none of the players above fit into either category.
Sure a couple of them could prove to be good long term squad players but eventually the likes of Lucas and Meireles will become our squad players we don't need anymore at this stage.
I would rather sign no one this month then to sign stopgaps who will do a job for a year or two.
What's people's thinking when it comes to signing players like the above? Is it desperation to sign someone and in January? Do you believe they are longterm first team solutions? Or do you believe signing squad players is the way to go? Be interesting to know what you think..?
