Would be better to try and analyse if we are "missing out" on Cork, Sharp and Maynard if:
1) we have a bid accepted for them; and
2) they sign for someone else
surely? Otherwise it just looks like premature, knee-jerk, unfathomable whiney old ********.
Sharp - we had a bid accepted. We decided not to sign him. The fact that the bid was north of £3m gives a decent answer to the question "where's the ambition?" Who else in the Champ has bid more than £3m this season?
We know we have had a bid accepted for Cork, so God knows how he figures in your musings.
Maynard - we have no idea if we even rate him or are remotely interested. I certainly doubt we're interested at £4m or whatever figure Bristol are bandying about at the moment. I expect any sensible suitor will wait until nearer the end of the window in the hope that his price comes down. That doesn't mean those suitors lack ambition. It means they aren't stupid.
So, yeah, it does look a bit like irrational toy throwing actually.
