Looking ahead to January and beyond I'm looking forward to seeing what Brucey does transfer wise and what contribution this ex Wigan man will make as to me we still haven't seen the best of Brucey's foreign contacts yet in the market.
Whilst we have done canny it has usually been at a very high price (Bent, Gyan etc...) or the foreign buys he has got in have been at a bargain of frees or a couple of million and aside from El Mohammedi none have really made a huge impact.
However now this guys got his feet under the desk and we have spent a bit of time looking around hopefully with his reputation we might still be looking to unearth a couple of real gems.
We clearly need real class if we are to jump to the next level but don't think we should put all our eggs in the basket of looking for an established player like N'Zogbia for silly money. Brucey's best selling point when coming to us was that he was incredibly shrewd in the transfer market and good at getting quality players in from abroad for reasonable money - He has done well but hopefully with the right people on board we have a few irons in the fire that can help us kick on to the next level.
