We don't have the finance (or stature) unfortunately to be able to attract anyone decent to come in and be 3rd or 4th choice.. particularly in Central Defence where, in general you don't shuffle the side much and Mick is renowned for sticking with his 1st choice defence regardless of form.

When you look at the subs benches (and in the stands) at some clubs they're spending fortunes, we don't have that luxury and we've utilised what finances we have to assemble a strong 15/16 man first team.

Yup. Gotta put your investments where they will pay off. Having a 4th choice experienced decent CB just isnt an option if you want Waghorn.

I just don't think Taylor would have been worthwhile - hard to have a back up who has such a terrible injury record as chances are when you need him he won't be ready.

My post about Digby the other day seems more relevant - we haven't got a developmental CB on the books that Mick trusts. That's an issue for me

There was never an issue with having Emmanuel go out on loan. He was 3rd choice at RB and needs games to improve. But we should still have signed a 4th CB

I suspect work has been ongoing to get another CB. There are, after all, two weeks of the transfer window left open and they will be busy everywhere. It is just that in the past week we have suddenly hit a crisis.
