It feels to me like the 49ers are only intent on buying when they know what level those players will be competing at next season. That wouldn’t be something I feel is necessarily wrong but it’s very, very risky unless you can get some good short term loans in to see us over the line. The perfect scenario is we don’t spend a penny now, we get promoted, and then sell the likes of Piroe and Joseph who aren’t up to P.L football and let the loan players like Solomon and Rothwell leave as well if better quality is available. If we do get promoted I’m sure everyone’s choice would be to have Premier League quality players brought in rather than making do with a couple of lads that were signed for and are of Championship standard. Like I say, very risky if that’s how they’re thinking but the best strategy if it comes off.
Solomon would be good in the Prem, he's good enough at that level imo. Rothwell would be a useful squad player in the Prem.. he's looked like one of the best at this level.
Joesph needs a season on loan in the championship playing every week, theres a good player in there.
It's a difficult balancing act when you have one eye on the summer as we need as much ££££ power as possible, we'd need to spend easily in excess of £100m to stay up. But, take your eye off 'today' and it can cost you big time... someone like Iheanacho would surely have made sense as a loan, plus he's a proven goal scorer in the prem.. odd one that.
