They wanted to get me into x-ray quickly to see the extent of the damage and if it'd drop any more

Didn't get to go to the match unfortunately

Maybe so, I just don't want to be stuck with dead weights on ridiculous contracts like we have had in the last few years. Like I said though, time will tell whether it was a good decision or not.

If the players you want are too expensive/unobtainable, and any other available player would unlikely be an improvement, then signing someone else is a risk. More often than not January players are overpriced and underused.

At the same time it can be a big risk panic buying players. In January 2020 we signed JKA, Poveda, and Caprile none of whom contributed to the promotion that season and left us €30m+ in transfer debt.

Obviously depends on if we go up to see whether it was a good decision or not.

Warra year

Would have been a better chat if we weren't all starved of disappointing January transfers :/

For at least 7 years you'd think

I think James and Bogle still put in the effort to keep it in after a heavy touch most of the time; I'm not sure Piroe finds himself in those situations quite as often.
