Can you see us getting one for the money we seem to have?

Whether they'll be good enough to really elevate us, we'll have to see, but we'll defo get one.
He effectively said he's using Merlin Rohl in a similar way to the way City transformed Matthias Nunez into a RB from a midfielder for now, and that they want to buy one who's noticeably better than Rohl (ie not just buying any random RB and then end up preferring Rohl there anyway, and having wasted £15-20m).
I don’t think he said that about Rohl being used like Nunes.Bluedylan1 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2026 1:13 pm Absolutely we'll get one.

He didn't say it directly, but I think that's the analogy he was drawing. Converting an athletic midfielder into a RB.

Problem is that Moyes think Johnston will make us better! That is a statement about wanting to be bang average.StirlingBlue wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2026 2:31 pm It’s good point on Rohl though, we’ve just invested good money in him and he seems capable of playing in a lot of positions.
No point buying somebody like Johnson who isn’t going to be any better than Rohl there, we need somebody actually good.
Honestly I’d prefer Rohl at RB and a new LB than I would buying a twenty eight year old middling right back from the SPL

Didn’t seem my sort of place.
I used to go on Blue Kipper back in the day and I liked that, but this was just so, so much better.
We all screamed blue murder at the way the previous regime spaffed money on turds. At least we seem to have some concept of quality control these days when it comes to purchases.StirlingBlue wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2026 2:31 pm It’s good point on Rohl though, we’ve just invested good money in him and he seems capable of playing in a lot of positions.
