We were never going to buy 2 top class midfielders, not with our budget.
I'd also like to be pointed to where Warnock said he needed players with Premier League experience. I can only find where Super Ken suggested it in the Echo.

i hope this isnt going to be pedalled all season, on the low side it might be but i wouldnt call two 10m+ signings and more a shoestring budget.
Warnocks been given plenty of money to get the right kind of players in for me. Still more to come as well as some loans i imagine so im not concerned in the slightest yet.

We have spent big money on a winger and an attacking midfielder/striker and I’m one of several concerned how much money is left to be able to bring in a centre midfielder of the calibre of Ryan Woods. I hope Warnock doesn’t leave us short of quality in centre midfield. Personally, I would have spent big money on a quality centre midfielder by now and if that meant having to sacrifice the signings of Josh Murphy and Bobby Reid, so be it. Centre midfield is the most important position to improve and if we don’t invest in this area, we are going straight back down.

Perhaps you need to contact Warnock and tell him where he has gone wrong.

I haven’t said he’s gone wrong. I’m just saying if I was given a budget, the position I would choose to spend a big chunk of my budget would be centre midfield. Maybe Warnock still has some funds left to bring in a quality centre midfielder.

I would guess he is in contact with players and clubs so that he can finalise his squad for next season. If the info on this forum is reasonably accurate, it looks as if there are at least two loan signings in the pipeline, and I know some posters believe that there is still cash available to bring in a quality player. Not sure if the cash bit is right, but it looks likely that this squad is not yet complete, and that loan signings are imminent. I actually agree with you that we may struggle with the players we have here right now, but a little extra quality brought in could make all the difference. I am confident Warnock knows what he is doing, he has not done much wrong here so far. I'm not sure if some of the big name managers would envy him in his position, trying to be competitive with one of the smallest budgets in the division. I think he will do as good as anyone else working with a similar budget.
