Good. Hopefully he’ll be backed in the January transfer window and we can get that striker.

If this is the case, good for you and good for me.

Dont think relegation will happen though so hopefully this is just hypothetical.

Yeah, still no pressure Potter. Just shrug off defeats talking about fine margins and learnings. Zzzz.

I guess we're doomed to inept football for a while longer then

How many transfer windows, for how many managers, have we been saying that for?

Far too many :( Hopefully we’ll soon see an end to us shopping in the bargain basements of the lottery that is most European leagues :albion2:

Get a few more walking wounded like Lallana and Welbeck and hope they hold together?

We aren’t that bad a team to be fair and statistically Potter has good numbers bar actually winning a few more games. If Bloom wants or needs to roll the dice it should be for a bench striker from a top six team.

I’d rather proven ‘walking wounded’ than relatively expensive flops such as Locadia and Ali J :shrug:

There's the middle road as well... not signing a PL player but also not signing someone from the Benelux leagues (almost always a lottery). France, Spain, Germany and Portugal are good markets where you can find high quality at reasonable costs. PL players are generally very expensive.

I know and, as I said on another thread, I totally get that expensive punts on players don’t always equate to a good investment (see Joelinton at Newcastle or Wesley at Villa). But far too long we’ve shopped around the Spanish 2nd tier, the Dutch and Belgian leagues hoping to unearth a hidden gem at reduced cost and it’s rarely worked. A new tactic is needed, be it looking at players on the beaches of top 6 sides (e.g Origi) or looking to the Championship at players likely to step up (ala Watkins). Either option is potentially expensive but I’d argue it’d carry less risk than our current tactic of hoping one of our cheap imports from the less star studded leagues across Europe will turn good.

Does Ian Hart know any more than any of us, or is it just his opinion?


Not really, I honestly thought the last two games might be the tipping point but then was told by someone at the club as stated in the column that's GP's job is safe regardless of relegation, as TB has a long term vision of which GP is a huge part.
