When a company is haemorrhaging money.....its is not unusual to bring in a CEO who has the broad church of skills i.e austerity and cost cutting....to target the task of getting back to break even.....which is usually the aim. it is equally, not unusual , that when the ship is stable, for a style of CEO who has the skill base to take the company in to profit i.e Marketing and promotional skills....to be found and appointed. It could be similar to us really.....but I don't know the thoughts of our hierarchy......just speculating. My brother in law was shocked to find out that his nickname within the company he worked for was The Grim Reaper as he went round each depot nationally restructuring them (cutting costs AKA people) turning each one round from loss making to profit making. Once he finished the national tour and they were all ticking along nicely he was given the boot. His remit ended, time for a new man with different skills to take the business forward.

If we're shopping from Bristol we could sign their goalkeeper Luke Steele at the same time. Think Flint and Steele would make a good partnership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I would go to Man utd and sneak a cheeky loan bid for Luke Shaw, and the same with Leicester and a loan bid for Ulloa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaffmaster Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 We have a lot of key players on loan, which will inevitably mean a restructuring next season whether we go up or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Ulloa is a must imo. If hes available we must get it done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Erdal Rakip. Another young Swedish player we can get on a free this winter. 21 y.o midfielder who played for champions Malmö FF, sitting on an expiring contract. 8 goals and 7 assist this season from a deep sitting midfield role. He's on the fringe of the national side, will be going on the winter tour with the national side this January (unless he signs for a new club) Linked to Benfica in the Portuguese papers, but that could just be paper talk.

romavillan Posted December 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2017 Are we being linked with a left back at all? Would seem the most obvious gap in an injury free squad. With who we have out then yes we could do with yet another goalscorer, another young centre back to replace the weird choice of shipping Baker out would be nice so we don't have to rely on Samba or playing Jedinak in there (although he seems good enough to be honest in there).
