Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2546879, member: 1808"] It does come back to expectations, [I]realistic in nature[/I] and planning for the future, not expecting an overnight solution with no backup plan that leaves us severely depleted in experience and at the present we have to be careful about getting the balance across the board over the next few years right. We already have two of our big gun players commanding big bucks on the sideline, another looking set to leave, the last thing I'd be wanting to do is ditching one of our more experienced backs when we could see Hodges, Hoffman and Yow Yeh gone over the next few seasons, that would leave us in a real hole. Again it comes down to balance, I got no problems taking calculated risks and looking to the market when possible(but you don't also recruit for the sake of recruiting, we now have to go back to the mentality of going to the market to improve, not just to get by or for the sake of buying) but provide balance to that too, in Hodges absence for instance lets give Oates a real chance to impress for a potential position in the future. The next few years are going to be crucial for our longterm future, Reed for 3-4 years at a rather minimal provides stability. As for comparing Wallace to Reed, I'd have to say it's a poor comparison, Wallace was on more money and delivered even less from an attacking perspective particularly from what you expect from an actual playmaker, defensively he was good but that's not what your looking from a playmaker, attacking wise he was slow and very rarely actually troubled the opposition and kicking was a mixed bag at best, on the other hand a centre who can setup his outside man and is good defensively provides more in his role then what you would regard as a similar player in the spine.
