Well no because we currently have neither a manager or a DoF, so it would absolutely not be the sensible thing to bring someone in now rather than wait a couple of months and let whoever is actually in charge have a say in who we recruit. That's really a pretty basic fact to be honest.So, apparently clubs want DCL now at £60mil. If we say no we want £80mil but will only do a deal in summer...then what centre forward in world football will those clubs sign instead for £80mil with a similar profile to DCL?
Because there really arent many.
Well, if not this window then we'd have to sign a right back in the summer. Makes sense to get business done early then focus on other positions in the summer.
An 'experienced' right back will want good wages to join in the summer. Although, you mention "a decent solid option" that would need to be someone who would accept being backup to Patterson...likely not very good -- in which case its not an upgrade really on Kenny.
When I say experienced I just mean 'not 18' really, because having two players with virtually no experience at all as our only options at right back seems like utter madness to anyone who isn't you. There'll always be half decent 'do a job' players like that knocking about in the summer and in my opinion that's the stage we're at now. We need to build a good young side and spend our money on players who will improve the first eleven, that is likely to mean the squad needs to padded out with a few freebies and cheap signings because we can't afford to upgrade verywhere at once and we still need a decent amount of experience in the squad.
