kentucky 341 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Signing the likes of Bola, , Dyksteel and giving Spence his chance , even Roberts and Moukoudi have had dencent careers now. Nmeche top scorer in Belgium I believe. Remember he was scouting for Liverpool when he came back,maybe he could be used in that type of capacity. Link to post Share on other sites
AllBoro10 2,235 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Loses credibility for the Dijksteel and Bola signings when he started throwing them under the bus in interview with gazette and blamed bevington for signing them. Bevington gets the credit for them 2 for me Link to post Share on other sites
boksicdink 1,942 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Loaning players from City is a fairly calculated risk and even then Roberts literally dropped into League One before doing anything of note. Bola, Dijksteel and Spence were all part of the golden thread phase so who knows how much of it was Woodgate, as opposed to Martin Carter (I think) who is our London based scout who would have seen all of them in some capacity before their moves along with Jones. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 gawd knows he had his deficiencies but i can give him credit for identifying and having the guts to jettison some of the rotten apples at the time , especially his best mate. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but as soon as they weren’t performing he gave an interview with the gazette and threw them under the bus and blamed Bevington for signings . He can’t have it both ways.

Not anymore. The gazette deleted the comments he said. I’m sure someone can back me up Link to post Share on other sites

The way Bevington goes on Twitter convinces me he signed Bola, Dijksteel and Browne. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,631 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I posted about his comments on Bevington and the signings on FMTTM a few years ago, I'll see if I can find them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,631 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) This is Woodgate when asked on the 9th of January 2020 about transfers: "Woodgate has admitted the recruitment process has changed since the December exit of Adrian Bevington, the club's head of recruitment operations. "I think my silence says it all, sometimes silence is deafening," he replied after a long pause." That was in a period when both Bola and Dijksteel were struggling. Dijksteel had a long term injury after a bad start to his time here. Bola joined Blackpool on loan the next day. Link to post Share on other sites

It could just as easily have been born out of frustration towards Bevingtion that we only managed to sign 3 senior players that summer, leaving our squad massively short. Also, he doesn't throw either Bola or Dijksteel under the bus. Link to post Share on other sites

The day after This Bola was sent out on loan. It’s clear Woodgate was brought in with the intention of getting the best out Bevingtons potential signings hence why Woodgate mentioned them in his presentation. Link to post Share on other sites
