Quote: Stanley30 "sorry mate but I don't understand how you think fielden isn't much of a gamble? as stated before he is injury prone on on the decline. Would be a poor signing for me, would rather have our good young prospect adam walne than him any day of the week. Another NL player who has been mentioned is this QLT, he looks exciting and would surely be available if he has something in his contract. Jack Holmes is going to be a star but I think he needs another 2/3 years,'"
I said he wouldn't be a gamble at the right price. There's a difference.
If we were to blow a huge chunk of wage allocation at someone like Fielden I'd say no way. If you could get him for peanuts it would still allow for the acquisition of good young forwards too.
Anyway, it's all hearsay and conjecture atm.
