Exactly my thoughts and I'm sure we're thinking of the same two managers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 If anything comes out of this window we just need bauser sacking and replaced with a director of football. Who actually has a recruitment data driven plan like Stewart Webber has done at Norwich, Victor Orta at Leeds and Rasmus Ankersen at Brentford. As we clearly aren't identifying cheap gems from foreign markets in the current set up. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

clappy1974 9 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I really hope we don’t sign Sol Bamba or any other Cardiff rejects, if needs must Paddy McNair or Johnny Howson can play centre back. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Just reading something there in Birmingham Aitor has now appointed his backroom team and the clubs recruitment drive will now take off. Wish we showed some ambition instead of waiting to hear whether free agent and former Hull Tigers star Kevin Stewart will be our next signing. Embarrassing how low we have fallen. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

What's embarrassing is you continually writing off a player you've admitted you've barely seen play... So KM is right, and Klopp and all the statistical data are wrong and Stewart is a fud? Do you deliberately try to find the most negative slant on everything? 🤨 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Ambition like signing a 32 year old free agent left back whose legs have gone years ago? Stop crying. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I would rather we signed a CB on loan for a year than Sol Bamba, someone like Cameron Carter-Vickers or Filip Benkovic who we have been linked with in the past. Maybe we can't afford the loan fees though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Johnmfc81 902 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Could we have a separate thread to vent your frustration on lack of transfer activity, and anything else that's wrong with mfc, and just keep this thread for actual transfer gossip/news. Its getting pretty depressing to read everyone say the same thing in different forms. 😕 12 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
