Sauce salad?
Think Gibbs White wants assurances of game time prior to signing a wolves contract - given our loan situation (zincs return) he'd get that here... and there's the Cooper factor. Incidentally, I'd take them both from wolves - appreciate concerns over quality in the final third but like Zincs tenacity and that he can cover several positions. Good squad add if the valuation is accurate.I'd be very keen on Lewis Potter or Josh Bowler for that matter. But, we need to temper our expectations. £100m isn't much in la la land and, for example, the minute West Ham enter the bidding for someone like KLP we're f**ked. They only need one/two players so they can go all out. We need 5-10 players with a lower budget!
If we are to stay up, it'll rely on Cooper getting players other clubs won't look at to raise their game and a huge slab of luck. That said, if we could get KLP for £10-12m I'd be very happy with that deal.
We still need potentially 3 CMs and a striker alongside two wing backs. Given that we'll have to spend on quality midfielders and a striker, wing backs will have to be bought on a shoestring.
In an ideal world, we can look at Lowe and say, 'we need better'. I wouldn't disagree, but remembering our context is important. We need to target the best, less well known, players from the Championship. Ones where we have a unique knowledge of how good they are. The minute we start going to head to head with Premier League teams, expect players to regularly choose Crystal Palace and Wolves ahead of us.
From what I understand, AMN might well hold out for a 'bigger' rather than come to us, Henderson is a different situation as he'd be a loan and MGW, in all honesty, would almost certainly choose Wolves ahead of a move to Forest.
