For balance and in fairness to Bruce we cannot ignore that we have also been linked with an 18yo LB from hull ( josh Tymon ) and a 19 yo winger from Blackpool ( Bright Osayi Samuel ) and have signed Bree.

Vincenzo Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It would be a good signing as he has a lot of football experience that could help the squad. I'd get in Joe Hart & Whelan as well, again for their experience. Both could do a job for us next season as it's all about promotion, not how we play (unfortunately) but getting results and being consistent. The club really has to go up next season and their contribution could be key...probably won't happen though UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonVilla Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 IF he were to come i can't see it as a negative at all. It will give a lot of fans a boost and get more through the gates, he'd want to go out on a high and his vast PL and international experience would only benefit our youngsters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 1 hour ago, Stevo985 said: You don't think that's an incredibly small sample to be making judgements on? Before the Whelan and Terry links were you furious because it looked like Bruce wasn't going to make any signings because we weren't linked to anybody? Maybe it's a better approach to assume two links aren't going to represent our entire summer's business. And if you want an idea of the kind of player Bruce would sign for us, maybe looking at the numerous transfers he's already made would be a better indicator than two links? I'm making judgements on what I think will happen next season based on last season and based on links so far. 1) I don't think Bruce will promote us next year based on performances and results last year. This I think will cause long term damage. 2) signing players like Whelan and Terry (might not happen) will add to that damage due to wages, no re sale value and FFP rules. He may sign some different players as well but unless we get promoted then my second point still stands. I think we've seen plenty to judge what we think next season will look like and the knock on effects that could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisvilla4 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 John Terry's available and we are supposedly in for him. I don't see any negatives in that at all. There will surely be a lot of premier league clubs in for him too. So they must think he is good enough for them Definately not a signing we should be turning our noses up at.

If you're worried about long term damage being financial then surely Steve Bruce isn't the person who is causing it? Are you angry at Xia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you angry at Xia? Yeah, he would have to take a good portion of blame. Just like Lerner did for things going financially tits up. Hard to be angry at him at this point, he's offering financial backing in people he trusts. I fear that trust will be let down badly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
