A number of players were youngsters released from French league clubs. its far difficult than it ever was, everyone is trying to find that bargain that will go onto make them some money!! No mate you've got it wrong, their are loads of better than what we had players out there that won't have a club and be desperate to come to us, it's because of the que at border control that they aren't here already.

We have no money and no sex appeal now... we're scraping the bottom of the barrel, what divine right do we have to be getting better than Kachunga in? Anything much better than Kachunga would be a real coup IMO 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything much better than Kachunga would be a real coup IMO Kachunga would be ok if we also signed a couple of others with him like , only had that one decent season goals wise with about a dozen . We need a couple of goal scorers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything much better than Kachunga would be a real coup IMO Totally agree we are like a washed up Hollywood actor who is now an extra in the Woolpack hoping for one last big break. We will have to continue being a bit part player for some years to come, unless GM can pull off a miracle. He has my best wishes and hopes. In the current situation we are in, I agree Kachunga would be a bit of a coup IMHO. UTO Edited August 31, 2020 by everydays_wednesday . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything much better than Kachunga would be a real coup IMO you may well be right but how do you know we have no money? Unfortunately to get decent players to come in imo we will have to overpay them. Edited August 31, 2020 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure a player’s agent will make damn sure clubs know he’s available if likely to move. The notion of doing it on the sly with no-one knowing is rather silly. I don't blame the club for keeping things close to their chests, but yeah, the idea that transfers go through on the sly without other clubs knowing about it, these days is ridiculous. I thought a similar thing the other day when Wilder was bleating about how other clubs just seem to be seeing who they were after, and then offering more to take them. Ridiculous notion, and immensely deluded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m OK about us taking this stealthy approach, especially when it’s a player that is likely to be courted by other clubs. Obviously that isn’t the case with Windass though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Expecting a big signing this week, something out of the ordinary. Maybe Cyle Larin at Besiktas or something of that ilk. Can't see many domestic players above youth level fitting the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
