It's simple as to why it's taking time, because we are after top quality and the side we are taking a player from is getting a replacement in

On that basis, might be worth putting a bid in for Hourinhane, who looks a proper player.

Would be a cracking addition to our midfield but not sure we need more players in that position.

Look at most of the signings we get though? Not bad are they?

Not disputing the quality but would sooner they were here by now to help us achieve maximum points rather than possibly drop some this month.

Have every faith in CH and Bloom that they will deliver
What's the rush? We are not exactly desperate. I would think that there is a fair chance we won't sign anybody.

Do you mean like Ridgewell and Knockaert who we signed in the first week of January last year? In trying to make a point there is no point making up stuff.
However, we're hardly short of players at the moment. The argument that we need another striker to back up Baldock for the season is valid. It is not true that we need them now so why not wait and get it right rather than rush in? I can't believe people are moaning given the situation we are in.

We could sign 20 player's toning but it doesn't mean we will have 3 certain points on saturday

Can't see it, think wages would be a stumbling block. Reckon he's more likely to rock up somewhere like Sunderland.

I hope we take on loan or buy a proven goal scorer, just in case Murray got injured. He's such a great finisher, we couldn't rely on Hemed in the same way game after game.
Elsewhere, ai think we've got good cover for all positions.

He'll be playing in the Championship next season then!

That would be the Hemed who was our leading scorer last year and isn't so far off this season despite having very little game time?
What did Hemed get last season? 17? 18?
What is Murray on now? You can't even compare them for goal scoring I am afraid
Yes you can. One is cover for the other. The one who is cover is inevitably going to be not quite as good as he one he is covering for - otherwise he would be the first choice, not the person he is covering. Hemed is excellent cover for Murray.
Why this obsession with 'We can't afford his wages'? He's had several seasons in the PL, on PL wages. So, unless he's got a huge gambling habit - or a gargantuan appetite for expensive prostitutes - he's minted. It won't be long though, until he is physically unable to play professional football any more. He might just want to go on doing that for as long as possible, f*** the money.
Anyway, I don't suppose £10K (or thereabouts) a week is a pauper's wage.
Wednesday have signed Hourihane and Winnall from Barnsley for about £2 million.
