Signing talent on the cheap, and being able to flog them for millions is living the dream of any club owner, and a lot easier said than done. Expecting us to unearth quality lower league players capable of making an immediate step up is akin to playing the lottery to cover your bills instead of getting a job. Someone is going to win the lottery, so why not me? not necessarily for next season's promotion push, but in general. the dingles live by unearthing talent, signing it for a couple of £100,000 or so, and letting it go for millions.

Paul.. Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 For those comparing Gayle and Forestieri, try actually watching both players, Gayle goes down under no contact whatsoever, Forestieri goes down occasionally under minimal contact, but there's always contact, I don't remember ever seeing him go down when never even touched unlike Gayle.

Dutch McLovin Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Agree with most of the above, would be a dream signing but we simply cant afford him. We would need to move on Fletcher, Rhodes and Winnall to make way for him aswell. That said Bruce can pull off the unthinkable sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwokenGiant Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 No thanks, far too much money (and gamble)! Norwich and Sheff U showed last year, you don't need to break the bank to find the right personnel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Its a no from me. Good player for the Championship but breaking the bank for players has already got us into enough trouble last couple of seasons. Have to box a bit more clever from now on.

Guest gizowl Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Some people never learn, another one that got half a reputation, done nothing special, no heart or desire, just dropping in on clubs filling his pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
