I wonder if the plan this season is to assemble a team capable of getting promotion...STOP LAUGHING....rather than, RATHER THAN buy young to sell on.
Speculation I know but it makes sense if the Club was to be offloaded sooner rather than later.
I’d like to think it’s both. Critchley did also bring in experience (Evan’s, Fletcher, keeping Hubby about) but definately favoured a larger squad of young(er) players. Bruce is probably looking at our squad and thinking there is actually a lot of talent in there (Bloxham, Apter, Morgan, Carey, Lyon’s etc) that needs some supplementing through some experience, particularly at the back.
Experience is also more likely to come through free agents. If we’re going to spend a fee on players, it is surely more likely to be ones we’d be looking at developing for resale potential later down the line.
