GlossyOwl Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 A topic which you often hear, especially given our previous transfer activity - we don’t need a journey man who is old and want £25k per week, we need hungry younger players from L1 and L2. Keen to understand who you think are realistic targets and if there’s anyone in particular you’d want to see? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Given the frequency with which it's quoted, being 'hungry' must be the single most important metric when judging a potential new player. So how is this quantified exactly? One of the biggest problem in football these days it seems to me is that many of them are well stuffed before they even sit down at your table. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperwinngardensowl Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) The club obviously think these players don’t exist or they wouldn’t have re-signed Joey. Edited August 11, 2020 by upperwinngardensowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It worries me when people suggest we serach the lower leagues. We don't need hungry league one and league two players. We need players who have the quality to play in the championship. Some of those will come from the lower leagues, some might come from the premiership on loan and some should come from other championship clubs! I want to see good players being signed! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and most players who might have the skill sets at that level, to make the step up, would cost a lot of money. Better looking at fringe players at the top flight clubs, youngsters I mean, and possibly on loan Generally they will have a greater range of skills, if not experience, and they should still be “hungry” We don’t actually require experience in leagues one and two 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I dont think many people would argue about trying to sign good players in early 20s that deserve a chance in the Championship. Problem is 80% of clubs are trying to do the same. But as Brentford have showed it is possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to agree with that when we are starting the season on -12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 We need to spot them before they prove they can do well at Championship level, just like we did with Lee, Blackburn with Dack, Bristol City with Brownhill, Pigs with Lundstram, Fleck... Plenty of interesting lower league players who show potential to do well at Championship level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't got the cash for ready mades. We need to scout and take a risk or two. We never seem to look at the african markets were fast strong mobile players are the norm or in North Africa more technically gifted players can be found.

pazowl55 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Perfect time for any hungry players out there, what with the 50% off for eating out at the moment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It’s such a cliche. I just want us to sign players who are good enough to help us stay up to be honest. Players who fall into the ‘young and hungry’ category from lower leagues or Scotland we’ve signed in the past: Stevie May Rhys McCabe Danny Mayor Jacques Maghoma Paul Corry They proved to not be good enough for this level. This is why I genuinely think getting relegated, signing the cream of the crop from League One and building momentum, a good team spirit without a points deduction with players who are good enough for that level would have been better than taking -12 now. Just like Megson and Sturrock did, build a side that gets you out of the League but this time we have DC’s investment to take us to the next level once we’ve done that. But now I fear what type of players we’re going to attract. They might be young and hungry but are they good enough for the Championship? Or will we sign free agents looking for a big club to finish their career with - we’ve been down that route too many times and it rarely ends well.
