It's not a problem if we sign Fletcher and/or Isgrove. It's a problem if we dont sign them. Or at least players of similar caliber. We certainly dont need to consider sending Kent back to get another quality winger in. We need one as well as. Same upfront.
A successful season is based around 18-20 players not just 11. If we get them both or even just one it will be brilliant for our season. There will be no bedding in process just straight in and back to where they know. Any player at any minute could get daft things like strains and pulls and then we're left with untested development players in the squad at such a high level. Depth is massive in the top 2 divisions.
It's crazy how many supporters are afraid of having more than one good player per position. You say we need a centre mid, some respond with 'So who are you dropping then Scowen or Hourihane'? Weird.
Yeah there's no such thing as too many good players providing you don't over spend, obviously. If you can replace a good player i.e Scowen for another good central midfielder for a Tuesday night game after Scowen played the full 90 on Saturday and the other team is having to play all the players from Saturday who are a bit spent, it's advantage us when our fresh guy is running the show.
Someone at the club, whose name I can't reveal told me Ashley won't not be signing for us on a season long loan soon or maybe not ever...
Fletcher has been removed from the West Ham First Team list on their website. He's not on the development squad one either. Loan move imminent? http://www.whufc.com/Teams/First-Team/Squad
