aeroswfc Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I thought scouts with Carlos Carvalhal got together to discuss targets and Carlos Carvalhal had final say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 6 successes out of 10 would be a pretty good ratio .....I don't know how much the squad cost to put together but I reckon we'd be well in profit if we sold westwood .lees.FF. bannan,lee......if hutch could pass a medical you'd be looking at somewhere north of 6 million as well .

Costello 77 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 There's only one authority on these matters..and that's Meatloaf. Although I think his standards are ridiculously high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points, although some of those were pre DC/CC and the criticism was aimed at them. I'd argue that the current ratio is actually higher than 6 out or 10 though because it comes down to this, what are the criteria of failure? It seems to me that for some on here you are a transfer failure if you are a) injured b) signed as a squad player or backup and c) don't set the world on fire after a few games.

Lionel Fessi Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Anyone remember that Portuguese CM we signed a 2/3 years ago that NEVER played a game? Then left a few months eating citing home sickness or something?!? Sure he was supposed to be an up and comer....(And no, it wasn't Melo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Signings Fessi,, Positive Fletcher, Positive Urby, Don't know Bannan, Positive Hooper, Positive Abdi, I wish I knew. MacManaman, Not played enough yet Wallace, Positive Reach, Positive (ignore the price) Fox, Too early to say Joao, 1st year positive, 2nd, not so much Pudil, Positive, I think he's OK McGugan, , Negative, don't know why Hunt, Positive? Jones, Jury is out Sasso, Positive, only signed as a back up, does that well Buckley, negative, been here a while not played enough Mattias, Positive, not his fault he's injured, quality. Sougou, Negative Winnall, Too early My views only, 20 players, 10 positive, 3 only just joined, 3 Jury out, 3 negative, Joao, looked the business, not improving. I don't know if I've missed anyone other than the Goalkeeper out on loan. I'm not sure if they were all down to CC because of the committee we had in the early days.

Dunno same chief scout that supplied Man Utd with Veron, Taibi, Bebe, Djemba Djemba, etc. probably. Can't believe it that every player doesn't turn out be be brilliant.

Last_Great_Hope Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Just checked, it was Diogo Amado and it was 4/5 years ago. He joined in July 2012 and left a month later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
