I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if he sees Spence as his go to RW, for example. He clearly doesn't think he's a RB. The problem is spence isn't a RW as seen by his performances at the end of last season. I really hope warnock isn't planning to play him there Link to post Share on other sites

You seemed to be saying it was good that he knew his own mind and turned down our stats guys recommendations. I was pointing out that his own judgement isn't exactly infallible with the example of Gary Madine. I have no idea what he's doing other than he was quite happy to say that he'd asked agents to recommend some players to him, something I'm not a big fan of. I mean given what our own scouts and recruitment turn out, it can't be much worse to ask agents what's available through their networks in particular positions, all this is doing really is widening the net a little in the hope we find something good. No guarantee of quality but maybe names we wouldn't have thought of looking at and maybe at least if he finds a player in that group who he likes, he's already begun the conversation with the agent. Though the fact remains as you've said, he's only gonna sign players he thinks are worth it and that ultimately means the same person who thought Gary Madine was worth £6m is making those calls. I have my own hesitations that come with him being in charge of what our squad will be left with when he leaves, as I've made pretty clear. But the alternative I guess is that he gets stuck with players he didn't want and has to make the most of a squad he can't do anything with for a year which then becomes completely pointless. I just hope we find a balance between what Warnock can do good with and ensuring whoever comes in next actually has something they can work with too. Otherwise, what on Earth is he doing here?

You and I have very different definitions of the word "coup"! I certainly wouldn't call signing a defender who hasn't performed above league 2 level at 25 for 1mil or more a coup! That's not to say he won't go on to be a good signing, but certainly not a coup at this stage. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,012 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Warnock mentioned player swaps can happen, would love us to offer Marcus Browne to Oxford for Rob Dickie probably have to throw in a little bit of money as well 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Said he loves the 'lower divisions' has a few players in mind from there mentioned his signings at Cardiff specifically Curtis Nelson as the talent that you can find down there. Not seeing any clients of that Spanish agent that I'd take to be honest that are realistic on our budget anyway, the French agent NDiaye has a few wingers and a 6 foot 3 24 year old Ligue 2 striker who just scored close to 15 goals Ibrahim Sissoko his clients I can see a few we could look at. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/meissa-ndiaye/beraterfirma/berater/1881 What's significant about the 25th August?

Seems to be content as 3rd choice without rocking the boat too much, and is maybe doing coaching badges or something while he's here. I would guess he's probably among the lowest earners too. Stojanovic will be moved on if anyone is. Pears is yet to sign a contract extension, think I read somewhere that we had an option of extending his current contract by a year. Weird that we haven't heard anything from the club, regarding this at all. Link to post Share on other sites

I think my issue is along similar lines of what happens next but from a different perspective. We can't 'sort out' the recruitment by effectively bypassing it or reducing it's influence. I just don't see how that makes sense. Either the staff are good or they are bad. If they are good then really they should be listened to and if they are bad then they should be replaced. But obviously I have no idea what the process is behind the scenes. Do people just randomly recommend players on their own initiative or is it more focused than that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 3 hours ago, Changing Times said: He also sanctioned a £6m deal for Gary Madine. I wonder if that was one that Cardiff scouts had recommended to him or not. I can't think of much worse than a manager getting agents to find players and I really don't see how that improves anything at our club in the short or long term. Screams short term to me.
