Guest wilyfox Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Might be Downes & Hughes suggestions. I remember we were linked with Aneke 2yrs ago when Bruce was still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big unit, scores goals at league one level, but struggles with niggling injuries; hence why 3/4 of his Charlton apps were limited to sub. He’s too languid to play as a 9, and doesn’t play-make like a 10 should. Could prove an enigma like Paterson in terms of where to play him to get the most out of him. And 2 red cards and 11 yellows last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I think some people are living in the past. Manager identifies areas to strengthen. Maybe lists some of his own targets and he may also be asking the recruiting team/analysts to come up with ideas. Then there will be agents offering players too. To me it’s normal. As long as the final call on the player is made by the manager and the financial decisions are made by the chairman that is ok. It’s when a player is forced on a manager it is more of an issue, or if we are always on target z listed by the manager with the only other option someone random put forward by an agent. I don’t know the context of the quote but couldn’t DM put a target forward too? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we were actually. He looks like he could be a solid signing at this level, not sure if he plays as a striker or more a CAM like paterson was but he’s an absolute unit too.

But in this case we are presumably targeting someone who isn’t expensive or poor. Or old. It sounds as if Ipswich and Sunderland will be the ones throwing the money about this summer.

Why can't bloody Moore find players he wants at the club, after all it is him who will work with them every day, try fit them into his style of football and get the best out of them. Sh*t like this is why we are where we are and it won't change until people in charge for bringing players to the club are not held responsible for results on the pitch. Awful practice that explains cr*p recruitment in last few years. How does Moore stop the media linking players to us I'm interested to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, we will be linked to all and sundry in the coming week's, so done get uptight or lose any sleep. Nowt will happen until the end of June, and no matter who we sign, they will not be good enough for a small portion of the fan's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSlicer Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 It could be as simple as the players value is lower than what was initially thought or his current club want to get rid so they offer to clubs through his agent that they think maybe interested or could afford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Charlton players.. oh no. By some distance the most tedious, joyless bunch of misery's going.

Managers are the ones that get held accountable if things go wrong. That's why they should be responsible for deciding which players they want.

S72 Owl Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hardley any clubs give the manager full control of transfers these days. I really don’t know why people can’t grasp that fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
