Where's Knapper going to get the funds for recruiting young players in Jan?

Summer recruitment strategy was bargain basement. Duffy, Stacey, Forshaw, Fisher, Baath, Long, Sainz all basically free transfers. Hwang just covering his wages and Fassnacht only one where a sizable fee was paid potentially.

I doubt any decent youngster will be picked up so cheaply so the strategy needs funding from somewhere or it will be the loan route from the Prem. Which is a decent strategy if we recruit the right types (More Skipp than Marquinhos). Pity we didn't go with that strategy in the summer instead of hiring Dad's Army and using up our wage budget.

  - You were pretty dubious about Barnes tbf (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 1, 11:07:45
    - I've actually warmed to him slightly (Barnes not SCC) but he's not what we needed. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Dec 1, 11:25:14
  - impossible to criticise if you've never heard of them or seen them play really (NCFC) - Tombs, Dec 1, 11:00:52
  - Most lapped it up and said its what we need. (NCFC) - ParrotPuncher, Dec 1, 10:59:53
