I don't see how that matters. Let them go 'batsh*t crazy'; it makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 20 minutes ago, striker said: I thought they'd agreed at the beginning of the window he could go on loan. As nobody agreed a deal, still their player to use as they wish. I just wonder though how different January would have been if we got our ducks in a row and business done early. I know lots of clubs in the same position, but we always seem slow to act. When loaning players you're always waiting for the other club to make a decision as to when a player can go. Palace have used Wickham on the bench for the last few matches. Maybe they waited to see if players got injured or a better offer came in for Wickham (which it did). I honestly don't think you can blame the timing on the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the slightest. Brentford use the moneyball system and it's worked (so far) for them. Barnsley use the same system and look where they are... It's not as simple as just adopting their system and reaming in the cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as simple as just adopting their system and reaming in the cash Whilst I agree its not that simple, its about having a strategy and implementing it - lets be right, Barnsley are punching above their weight and managing to break even due to finding players they can sell for far more than they acquire them for.

I agree but thats for long term planning we also need a short term plan to get us up and if it doesn't then hopefully the long term plan pays off Edited January 30, 2020 by Inspector Lestrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as simple as just adopting their system and reaming in the cash Whether a system is complicated or simple, I assume any implementation would be proceeded by a study of what's required. Anyway, my point was about whether our fans' expectations would be a barrier against implementing a long-term strategy; they absolutely wouldn't be.

Unfit? Probably. Unpicked? Definitely. Injured? No. He has not had a reported injury since early October 2018. Yes he has. On way back from big injury he kept having set backs.
