I hope he does well there 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It's literally the same pattern every season: hype from manager saying he wants additions>posters harassing ITK posters>taking every whisper as gospel>disappointment when players don't sign straightaway>blame a fabled recruitment team Rinse and repeat every year i know the transfer markets bad, im not blaming warnock, im just saying i dont think unwarranted that some fans are once again annoyed  by the clubs transfer dealings or lack there of. also we have had good windows in the past before relgation, signing plenty of players, this saying we need to sign players and failing to do so is a fairly new problem that arose during the pulis era.

mendieta420 1,006 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Apparently it's a 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd. Seems like a great deal for him. Link to post Share on other sites

If that's true absolutely no wonder he'd take that, there's no way I'd have been offering him a deal till 34. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,496 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Sorry have I missed something or Birmingham confirmed signing of George? Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,489 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 If what we are led to believe is that we have some money this summer, then I can understand for once the "lack of activity". The longer fans aren't allowed in the stadiums the more desperate teams are going to be to stay afloat financially meaning selling may become more essential in later weeks. Also with free agents I think you will see more power in the clubs hands than the players when negotiating deals. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Have to agree to disagree on this one, our recruitment hasn't been great but our circumstances have changed, we have no parachute payments and we as a fan base need to accept that. Signing players is not easy for a club of our position and that is especially so in this climate, we can't compare to when we were the biggest spenders in the league 2 Link to post Share on other sites
