bigash_swfc Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Is DC's recruitment policy of signing experienced pro's who've had a taste of the big time making CC's job easier... And is it a more difficult task to mould younger players into believing they are world beaters like Wagner and Jokanovic are doing at HTFC and FFC. Are we resurrecting careers or creating careers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends who the winger is but that isn't Irvine's game is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its asking a lot, but if we can get two top class players of a similar standard this summer then we aren't far off.

alanharper Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 1 hour ago, WalthamOwl said: Hudds set to sign Mooy for 10 million. Would have loved him here but guess we can't compete with the lure of the Premiership, bloody Huddersfield. Still a slight risk for Huddersfield, paying ten million quid of their Sky wad plus the relevant high wages for a player who's not technically improving their promotion team given that he was part of it before, and has never played in the Prem but looked decent in the Championship. They know what they're getting though, and they can afford to take the chance now. Good business for Man City - got a player last year for a small fee from their "sister club" in Australia who'll never become a first team regular for them, loaned him out to a lower league for a year and then sold him for £10m.

steelcityowlsfan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Thinks Mooy is overrated. £10 million for someone's who plays a simple ball. We made him look like Carrick due to only having 2 in midfield and being cautious. I suppose it's a small risk at that price though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
