SmogDane 4,055 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 This year Leeds, WBA and Fulham went up .. There are absolutely no Spanish, German or even Danish teams amongst them .. English = best 1 Link to post Share on other sites
FamilyBoro 140 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 It would appear from the outside that we seem to be working down some kind of list regarding midfield transfers, if that’s for 1 or 2 we don’t know. What is worry is that there just doesn’t seem to be any noises coming out regarding attacking players lately.. This has to either suggests he is happy with what we have (worrying) or we are waiting on the PL loan choices to decide first possibly?? Even then you would still think any others we are going to look at would start to be heard just like the midfield links. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,497 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) I think in last 48hrs I have read on here the following:- a) We need to look overseas b) We need to stop looking overseas c) Stop signing unproven and untested players from lower leagues d) Why can't we be like other clubs and find unknown gems in the lesser known leagues. e) We need to stop paying over the odds for average dross. f) Why are we not paying over £1m for a league 2 player if Brentford are. It is what makes this forum special 😊 4 7 Link to post Share on other sites

I assume we decided against Stewart as we are happy to pay a fee for someone in same position as opposed to snap him up on a free. Maybe the whole package will be cheaper Link to post Share on other sites

We should address that and look elsewhere.   I don't think the location matters, that's my point. It's the quality of the player not the nationality that matters. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Clearly good players exist all over and crap ones do too. We've just got an aptitude at the moment of signing the latter or not getting the best out of the former. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not on about nationality of the player, I’m talking about how we are getting players from foreign leagues.  We don’t tend to opt for abroad signings (from different leagues) and it is hampering us and giving us, in my opinion a disadvantage. Link to post Share on other sites

If we're not looking in foreign leagues, yeah, we are kicking ourselves. But even if we did look there more often, I'm not convinced right now it would bear more fruit than the poor domestic signings we make. Link to post Share on other sites
