TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 £20m on a couple of relegated attacking players isn't ambitious. We've signed them because they're cheap and on the back of a bad season. The Lewis signing does seem to be costlier than we'd normally be willing to pay for that kind of player though.

Not really, he's young and highly rated - the fat man will be looking for a quick turnover at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14060 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 We've had similar outlays before but they've usually been on dogshit from France or Belgium. This time, it's more optimistic because we're getting players we've all actually seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl 175 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 So apparently we now have a 30 man squad and need rid of 5 players, 7 if Bruce gets his defender and striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They basically sub contract recruitment out to agents. Lots of clubs are a grey area in that regard but there’s no one on the board who has ever been paid to kick a football but they’re trusting similarly unqualified agents to bring players in and then telling whichever sap is managing them to get on with it. That’s not geared to success, that’s geared towards stuffing money from tv deals into the back pockets of spivs. At least we had Carr who had played and was a respected scout.

Ayatollah Hermione 14060 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Selling Diangana at the drop of a hat to a Premier League rival is pure Ashley. Especially 4 days before the start of the season with no replacement except a wantaway Felipe Anderson. I can’t say I’m that gutted like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14013 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Their aren’t many at the top of the game as bad as Ashley but those crooks at West Ham are far, far worse. They even robbed their stadium from the taxpayer. “Baroness” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3508 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Does it really matter who we bring in with cabbage head in charge? We could get Messi and it would still be Shelvey starting every game in the middle, spraying the ball around to no one like a mid-western highschool quarterback and bacon sandwiches!

Through the fool proof method of watching YouTube clips I can tell you that we have a very tidy, quick, athletic, good reader of the game, great tackler and crosser, and if he wasn't already a NI international a future England international. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
