Tbh I can’t see why we can’t spend like £5-£8 mil on a quality player. It’s exactly what we need, we’ve got some depth, we just need consistent quality every week. Although I do get that there’s not that many options out there during the Jan window so it’d probably be tricky anyway.

Just to say, I’m not against this guy, I just wanted to see King go big that’s all 😂 I think any signings with some sort of potential are better than no signings at all, the more the merrier.

To steel man a restrained approach: We don’t know if Vik will go in the summer, we don’t know if O’Hare will stay. Both change things significantly. It’s a tough league and January is a tough window to find value in.

We could re-sign O’Hare and Vik goes for £86m and we’ve got £10m plus the remains of the Hamer cash to finish the squad off.

Or the offers don’t come in for Vik and O’Hare leaves on a free and we’ve got a bit more wages but £10m less and an AM to buy.

Edit; By my count we’ve got at least 7 players to buy before the start of next season: CB x 2, CM, AM (if O’Hare goes), RW, LW, ST and the last four won’t come cheap.

Thought we weren’t looking at any January signings 😂

happy with this, looks in a similar mould to a billing as Fernando said

Looks a good technical player that can do everything we need from a midfielder. Looks like he has the potential to do well but will no doubt need a bit of settling in time.

If he doesn’t score on his debut send him back though.

Looks a good player on the YouTube clips (don't they all I suppose)

And looks more likely to grab a few goals from midfield than Sheaf/Eccles

TBH
a) £2.1m was until the last window more than we’d spent on a player in decades

b) I have felt we abandonded the cheaper gambles a little this last window.

c) He’s more than Saka and Thomas and people aren’t complaining about them.
We've just gone up a level really , naturally ..majority of these players will have huge growth potential and resell value

I like the driving runs from midfield

He looks great going forward, I just hope he’s as good as Sheaf defensively, not that Sheaf’s a defensive wizard or anything but he’s pretty solid in defence.

I would have loved to have seen a massive marquee signing but that’s more hopeful wishing than reality I suppose. (Would love to see Brekalo sign though, still got be hopes for him at the right price.)

WhoScored doesn’t have much data on Torp but does note Set Pieces as a strength which would be perfect if true

I'd also like to add that if this player is the real deal , we have a genuinely superb squad to work with going forward .. the foundations are that strong we've not had it so good since the mid 90s ?

The summer could be extremely exciting
I think we'll soon be at the point where the overall squad quality is so good we'll just be looking to bring in 1 or 2 top players in the summer to go straight in the first 11.

Yeah tbf maybe I’ve been a bit pessimistic as it’s not the £6-£8 mil big blow out signing I was hoping for but you’re right, we’ve got a solid squad going forward and if we can add to that again in the next window, maybe another winger or something, then we’d be in a great position for next season.

Sheaf who has the most tackles in the league per 90?
