oldishowl Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I think people need to stop reading rumours and stuff put in papers and social media by agents and clowns and interpreting it as our managers transfer policy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 2 hours ago, StudentOwl said: As has previously been explained in this thread, at the current stage of the transfer window, the only players available for ultra cheap/frees are those that have been released by their respective clubs. As has previously been explained, players that get released by their club either do so for personal reasons or are surplus to requirements. As has previously been explained, a player that is surplus to requirements is going to be someone that their now former club believes isn't going to develop to be any better than they currently are. This is a trait that typically is associated with older players (like, over 25), ones that have largely finished their development. It's not rocket science. You're literally complaining that we're going for what is currently available. It's like going into HMV and complaining that the most recent Pixies album they have is Head Carrier "Excuse me, you don't have their newest album" "But sir, it isn't available until September?" "Yes, but I want it NOW" Calm down Veruca Salt. ... ffs No I understand why those players have been released, what I don’t understand, is why we are supposedly after them.

It’ll cost us less to borrow better Why bother signing a load of players, who aren’t any better than what we already have, and who we will likely be stuck with for 3 years?

Jim Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I can't say it's bothering me too much over who we're being linked with TBH. Odubajo - makes sense. Available on a free. Quick and has experience of being successful at this level before. Worked with Bruce before too. Borner - Don't know much about him but players have come from Bundesliga 2 and had success in the championship before. Again on a free so comes with little risk. Cattermole - The type of experienced player that Bruce has an history of going for. I think if he was to arrive, he'd do a better job than a lot on here think? Matthews - Again a player I don't know much about. Did he play for Cardiff and Celtic? Again it's a signing that wouldn't get the pulses racing but he'd probably come in and do a steady job. On the whole I expect recruitment to be very similar to the summer of 2011 under Megson. Players coming in on Frees, Loans and Modest Fees that in truth won't excite but will come in and add to the collective and push us in the right direction and who knows maybe promotion?

Agree with this. Cattermole looked decent early last season in my opinion. Had a good game at Hillsborough and there aren’t many who truly do what Hutchinson does when he can’t play. He’s grown up a lot and is a leader on the pitch and played with Bruce at Wigan I think. My only concern is that he would be quite expensive wage wise with little or no resale value. He didn’t look great last night but it was a scrappy game generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, haven’t we been here before This could be true depending on who we loan and from whom, but to claim that some of the frees aren't better than we already have is very debatable.
