Realistic Transfer Targets

The much publicised move for Leroy Lita was never going to come off it just made no sense. If Reading were not prepared to meet his demands for a new contract then we had no chance of doing so. At the same time if the wages of Beattie were that much of a problem the club were hardly going to go out and bring another big name player on anything like the same sort of wages. The whole thing was probably a PR stunt designed to appease the fans.

We can forget about Nugent and Chopra as well because they fall into pretty much the same category. The only way we will see this calibre of player turning out for us would be via a loan deal. Other than that it will be a case of signing players from outside the Premiership. This may not be a bad thing and if the club needs any inspiration they should look at Wolves. They might have spent money but it has been a relatively modest outlay and spread out on a number of players.

Now there is no big name to steal the limelight the opportunity exists for players like Webber and Sharp to stake their claim and show what they can do. Early indications seem to suggest we will not be worse off despite losing our best player. The team looks like it has responded in a positive manner. It may be a good decision but the manner in which it was conducted by the club has left a sour taste reminiscent of the old Mike McDonald and Charles Green era.
