Quote: Diamond Harry "We should have put a bid in for somebody, maybe player exchange aswell. Everyone knows what happened last year. You need someone to steer you around the park, have 2 players that dont normally play at 6 and 7, and the opposition will just target them all day long, put pressure on and then the mistakes come.'"
we did put a bid in for someone- briggs. Without a rich backer we're pretty limited in terms of being able to pay transfer fees, especially coming of the back of a poor season attendance wise and paying sums equivalent to a big transfer fee to leeds every year for the harris fiasco (although I believe this is the last year we have to make that particular payment). Given there were a few other richer clubs, hull for one, also looking for halves who could easily out bid us transfer fee wise I dont think we did too badly. just pure bad luck both our playmakers being unavailable at same time. And were in a stronger position than most teams should someone unexpectedly become available mid season with both cap and quota space available.
