| You are both McKenna and Ashton. Which striker do you target? 19:02 - Jan 3 with 2419 views | DarkBrandon |
Player A
Available now. Fee agreed. Wages won’t be a problem. We’ve kept it quiet, and trust his agent not to alert other clubs if we move reasonably quickly. He’s good, but not outstanding. Late 20s. Reasonable Championship striker
Player B
Has played a bit in the PL and would have played more apart from injury. Currently making the squad but not the bench of a PL side. We’ve agreed a fee, but the club won’t let him go until they’ve signed a replacement. They assure us this should be done in a couple of weeks. Do you wait?
Player C
Very lively young player. We could get him on loan, but have no chance of signing him permanently. Available right away, and could rip up the division. He would be our highest wage earner by quite a way, and is likely to make that very well known in the dressing room. Likely to see getting us promoted as a stepping stone to a move to a bigger club
Player D
Early 20s player who is fit, available and scoring. Has struggle a lot with injuries … both a hamstring and a knee over the past 3 years. His current spell of being fit (only missing a little of preseason, and then a further 4 games due to illness) is the longest hes been fit for a long time. Very keen to join.

I’d guess at player A and player B - if player B is 25 or younger. We likely need two strikers.
Player C feels he would be disruptive. Not worth the risk. Same with player D regarding injury. With Hirst already out, feels a risk for a January signing. |  | | |

2 from the top and any other 4 please Carol.
I think the profile for a permanent signing will be <25, premier league academy experience ideally, physicality, someone we see with upside potential and perhaps a chunky sell on after a couple of good seasons (should we decide to). Someone we think we can work with to improve and fulfil potential. A la Hirst.
Loanee is probably a bit different. Given where we are in the league and with the injury issues we have there’s very much some short term to consider too. Someone who can come in and add value for 10-15 games.
I’m intrigued to see who we end up with, when you consider we’re potentially, what, 13 or so wins from premier league football? And the literally hundreds of millions that would bring in, there’s definitely an argument that we could go hard (FFP permitting) to give us a push. |  | | |

If I'm McKenna, then I want player C. I will keep a lid on his attitude.
If I'm Ashton, then I want player C. Greater chance of promotion.
If I'm both, then I take player C. Worth the risk of upsetting some if he gets us promoted. |  | | |

Is it? Isn’t our close-knit squad our biggest asset? | | | |

It is, but Ashton is a business man who wants promotion and McKenna would love back to back promotions for his CV. I would take B out of that list, but I was being Ashton and McKenna. | | | |

Ashton will get who McKenna asks him to (budgets permitting etc) as he doesn’t make player decisions?
But to play the game, it’s A and B as we need two [Post edited 3 Jan 20:36]

Or
Player E
Early 20s player who is fit, available and scoring in L1 or L2. Not experienced at the higher level, but has upside, eye for goals and energy… Very keen to join now to help cover and to gain experience, understands medium term might be a step back down as a loan to continue learning and development. | |

Hopefully they'll both have learned something from that one. Either that or he stays for the rest of the season and comes good. | |

Indeed - if something clicks and we get early season BW back then it's a win win all round. If not - then it's been a good learning experience for KM and potentially his first 'bad egg' he's needed to deal with. | |

Still not sure what's going on with him and we'll probably never know. But if it's disciplinary, it's ironic that someone mckenna knows so well turned out to be a difficult one to mamage. Can't win them all. | |
