Can’t agree with this 3 year plan theory. We still have a lot of deadwood to move on. With the exception of Kebano the other loans have been generally underwhelming. You could argue we have and are going backwards since the start of the New Year.
we will need 8, 9 , 10 players coming in. Such wholesale changes and it is hard to imagine this was part of a 3 year strategy
What players did we bring in the season we got promoted under Karanka?
FW Jordan Rhodes Blackburn Rovers £10m
MF Stewart Downing West Ham United £5,5m
FW David Nugent Leicester City £4m
FW Cristian Stuani Espanyol £3,6m
MF Carlos de Pena Nacional £3m
MF Julien De Sart Standard Liège £2m
DF Alex Baptiste Bolton Wanderers Free
7 Players right of the top of my head without thinking about it. Was that not part of a three year plan?
not forgetting we brought in 9 loan players that season.. also not part of the plan?
GK Michael Agazzi Milan
DF Tomáš Kalas Chelsea
DF Jack Stephens Southampton
DF Ritchie De Laet Leicester City
DF Fernando Amorebieta Fulham
MF Bruno Zuculini Manchester City
MF Diego Fabbrini Watford
MF Gastón Ramírez Southampton
FW Kike Sola Athletic Bilbao
we didn't have any players leaving? try 18 (some were loans granted, but the point remains.)
MF Lee Tomlin
MF Mustapha Carayol
