As an aside, the Hartlepool Mail's transfer gossip format is horrific, done deliberately to ensure maximum clicks per article. Yeah. Looks a bit dodgy. But thnx for the info Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting outlook. Nevertheless we all see things a little differently. As for Pulis, we had the best defence in the league in his full season. People can state their intense dislike of the man but to deny that takes a degree of organisation is just blinkered denial. You know, if most players stood on the line next to the goalie, that could also be considered organisation and it would probably stop the majority of goals going in, I'm surprised Pulis never adapted to that to be honest. Karanka managed to concede even less goals than Pulis' first full season in both his full Championship seasons and yet we also managed to maintain an extra 23/24 positive goal difference vs. Pulis. And good work on reducing the entirety of our attacking inefficiencies this season onto a single player. 👍 5 Link to post Share on other sites

I have mentioned Britt as well as the 3 midfielders, so not just 1 player. Again, even if it was as you say that everyone stood on the line it would need organising. It wasnt like that though.

Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Is Sanogo worse value for money than Gestede or Nmecha? Neither of the latter two proved to be of value contributing very little. I have no idea how much of Nmecha's salary we were paying but it didn't bear much fruit. I won't even pass comment on the other "Striker". Its one injury prone French Striker out and another injury prone French Striker in but at a hugely reduced cost which in the current climate makes a lot of sense. At 27 he may have a resale value at some future point with the potential that like Britt and Fletcher Warnock might be able to restore his mojo. If he arrives at least we know it won't be because of grossly overpaying for him. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like, even given how poor we were last season, we shouldn't be judging players on whether they are worse value for money than Gestede and Nmecha. That seems like a fairly low bar to set in my opinion. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Are you bored? Picking out a sentence out of the 3 or 4 replies I have made to base your argument on. I have replied to you a couple of times and mentioned Britt and the midfield. Denial again?
