Dan's Summer Transfer Thread. Aka: " Post Mortem Time""

I don't think we should change a thing in terms of our recruitment, just leave it to the usual suspects who have done such sterling work over the last decade.

Why on earth would you risk all that and allow Warnock to try it his way. There is far too much to lose, more Rudy Gestede's and Adlene Guedioura's please. Let's continue overpaying for the next generation of overpaid donkeys for the boo boys to hone their skills on. 

Too late, it's already changed significantly over the last 18 months

When we signed him he said he had wanted him for a long time and that he was his top target. Why would he say those things if he'd never seen him play outside of a video? Regardless of which time he was telling the truth, he was lying on one of the occasions. 

Because you don't say "KIeffer Moore was my number one choice, but we couldn't sign him, so we've got this bloke who I've never heard of.  Let's hope he's not ***."

It's standard management talk.  It's hardly a surprise Warnock has it down pat.

Decade is a little unfair! In that time we've jolted from Scottish revolution to bargain bin to Spanish revolution to "what's that player worth to you, well double it!" back to bargain bin to "how tall is he? Nope". 

Say what you want but we aren't afraid to shake things up!

It's the second quote most people took issue with, where he threw the scouting team and akpom himself under the bus rather than take any personal responsibility. The fact that he originally emphasised how akpom was his signing and someone he followed for a long time just shows nothing he says can be taken at face value. That's putting it kindly.

He wasn't his top target, Moore was, we just failed on getting him in. However i'll defend Akpom in a sense, as he doesn't suit the system we play, nor should NW have outed him in public.

Didn't he literally say Akpom was his first choice and he'd been watching him for ages?

Ronnie and Kevin forgot to tell him the YouTube video they sat him down in front of was on a loop

"This striker's brilliant lads, look he scores loads!"

i think he said he watched him when he wan on loan in the championship and was interested in him then.

 

All a bit pointless now, he's already our player now

Happy for Spence to go to generate extra funds. We are well stocked at RB for me. Dont need 3 RBs. What would be a fair price for him?

I think over 5mil and we'd have to consider. Under and I'd rather keep hold as I think there's a lot more to come from him. Have to keep reminding people that he's 20.
