Picking on the mid-season pickup is not a way to support your point..
Wot? Follow the thread. I wasn't the one that brought his name up. I said collectively our midfield is not complete, I signalled out no players, and in reply someone quotes me Stanley as an example that it is.
So that's picking on him is it, my reply that I disagree?

Also, in light of that offer to Naughton, can you imagine what the deal that successfully lures McDonald next year would look like? Shudder at the thought.
Right? Might have to put that dream put to pasture.

...unless the Swans turn around and throw that same money at Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.

Wouldn't that be fun.
 
Bro how tf can you say that? Stanley hasn't played 5 games for us yet and Ras is only 19. Ras definitely needs to start showing more but let's wait until the end of next season before passing judgement.
Apparently the midfield is set, so someone is making the judgement that they are good enough already and we don't need more midfielders. I can't see it.
 
Sorry folks, you'll all be devastated to learn that Mabior Chol has chosen the Hawks.

 
I'd like to submit the Naughton contract as evidence for drafting over trading as well. 8 years sounds ridiculous until you hear the 10 x 11 one.

You get a loyalty discount on those massive deals and pay a massive premium to extract those players.
On the other hand, Jacksons contract looking bargain bin stuff right now

Without knowing if/how much the CBA effects it, yes it looks good.

Would have been cheaper if drafted by us though.
Honestly though, the cost on trading up / into the top 5 in the draft starts to make it all muddy. Like, we could literally not get pick 1 or 2 this year with what we paid for Jackson and we paid an absolutely stupid amount. How does that make sense, how is it cheaper to bring in guaranteed elite young talent than an untried draftee.

Sure, prioritise the draft, but when you think you have a core, it's cheaper to bring in superstars if you can convince them to join then drafting them
