"The hunt goes on" 3 new players? (merged)

Maybe it would be something to do with the fact that Alex Bray sustained a ruptured anterior ligament five minutes after coming on against Luton? Sheridan may have said that he was happy with his squad but that would not preclude more signings being sought-even when Alex was signed,there was talk in the paper of another player coming in.Can you provide a link where the manager has said that he isn't seeking to sign anybody else?

Alex Bray was signed after we had been told by the manager that he was happy with his squad. I just would have thought that if a manager says they are happy with their squad, that is what they meant. Is that unreasonable?

I think he has signed 23 or something players already in two seasons, how many more does he need?

No,it isn't unreasonable.The point is though that even though managers may be happy with their squad,it doesn't stop them from trying to improve it.Someone like Mourinho or Wenger may well be happy with the players on the books at the moment but you can bet your bottom dollar that if a player became available who they thought would add something extra to their squad they would go for it,which would also seem to be reasonable.

Yeah! How dare we have a manager who is trying to improve the squad!

SACK EVERYBODY!

Yeah...this does seem like a thread trying to create another pelter to throw at Sheridan out of nothing.

When is a manager ever happy with his squad? Van Gaal today, after signing all those world class attacking players, is now hinting at a bid for Ronaldo. But of course, John Sheridan of League 2 Plymouth Argyle can't dare to want to add to his squad...

Give the guy a break, beast him when there is a reason but not when he is attempting the improve the playing staff.

I think the point is Sheridan said he wants a smaller squad with more quality,and he did say he was happy with his squad,but now things aint going so well,he wants to add more players to the squad.
He should have got a wide player two months ago,it was so obvious

It's not always as easy as signing a wide player two months ago though, Sheridan's stated in many interviews he could go out and sign any young player out of the hundreds on loan but he wants the right one so the search will take longer.

Yes Greendream, which is why hes been stating the need to bring a wideman in since Gurrieri turned down his contract offer...

No even after Gurrieri didnt sign,he still said hes happy with his squad,because lots of supporters all voiced concerns about width at that time
