Matty...Sharp has said before, that while he is willing at play C, if the team needs, he DOES prefer Wing.

Playful, the thought on Stan, is that he is a pointman for decisions by committee, that includes his father and others, when it comes to acquisitions. It is clear, from our FA pickups since Tallon's departure, that the focus has been at mid-level or bargain acquisitions. Emery was a gamble, coming off of injury, the markets for Oduya and Rozival were soft, Handzus was a regular scratch.

"Big" moves, seem to be vetoed by the financial types in this front office committee. These sort of front office political intrigues have been the norm in Chicago since the two elder Wirtz's ownership tenures.
