Looks like the Head of Recruitment we had over summer (Payero, JLS and Sporar) maybe hasn’t uncovered the gems we were hoping for. Is this why he’s already been replaced with that guy from Swansea (was it?) Andy Scott went to Nottingham Forest instead. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So still the same recruitment team? I think @Lurkersaid the guy we had in place was very well regarded and had been with us a season or so? Seems strange to replace him so soon Link to post Share on other sites

This Scott was coming in as head of recruitment to work under the other Scott. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Using these figures - top 3 overpaid? top 3 underpaid? I'd say despite his pay cut Howson is overpaid, Hall is overpaid, Siliki due to not getting anywhere near first team (I know Payero doesn't but he at least retains some value in resale) Underpaid - Fry, Tav and Jones 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He did well there under Warnock for a couple of games but he’s in such good form with Jones on the right I don’t think it will happen. Hasn't crooks said he prefers to play the defensive position as well? If you put mcgree at LWB and payero at RM and crooks as DM wouldnt that sound like your most dynamic midfield?

McGree for Tav I think is the obvious sub, left foot for left foot, but if it's McGree for Crooks then that speaks volumes about Payero and his future Hope he still has a future here, I think last night he just wanted strikers on rather than midfielders Link to post Share on other sites

Jones x Payero might be even better? Might as well give it a go and if its not working it can be fixed by one sub Link to post Share on other sites
Rishworthian 166 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Guys just moving people around is like changing chairs on the Titanic. We actually need the equivalent of a cycling team's "road captain" for those occasions like last night when our oodles of talent is being stifled Link to post Share on other sites
