Nah, unless we sign players in the right order they don't count either....
Poch needs to get real. I love the guy but I think he's just a little too keen to take us to the next level whilst not acknowledging we haven't the muscle to do so just yet. Realistically with our debt levels and size we will only have an outside chance of winning a league consisting of the strength of Man City & Liverpool and others in and around us with their frivolous spending. That won't be forever but we need to be patient until we get there. Poch definitely needs and deserves money this summer but we can't go mental with spending over the odds unless we really fall in love with a player. Fuck me I wish we had got De Jong, he for me is the kind worth pushing the boat out for.
Don't forget we got Lennon, robinson & rose from Leeds. They all did/doing a good job for us.
- No Sessengon for you either this summer?
- Presumably you weren't amongst those giving us shit for not bagging Grielish last summer?
- I assume MK Dons are an exception to your 'no players from other leagues' rule?
He keeps on saying winning is impossible etc. He has definitely recognised the imbalance.
I do agree. But I guess from poch's point of view he might ask himself "why wait around for years on the off chance 1 day we can compete with the big boys?"
I think he will be happy to stay for at least 1 or 2 more seasons as we got a good thing going on & he does love the club. It may come down to timing & oppurtinity. Don't see who he would leave us for at the moment. Depends what new big jobs come along in the next few years. It will have to be a very good one for him to leave us though. But we should do all we can to keep him (within reason).
He shouldn't say winning is impossible as that simply isn't true. We are big outsiders but to say it's impossible sells the team short.
Give the man £100m + any coin made from player sales and see what he can do with it. That should keep him sweet and happy enough to take us up another notch even if it is just a little one.
£70m is a lot of money for a footballer. Man City for example, literally one of the richest teams on the planet haven't even spent £70m on a footballer yet:
You should stop "assuming" too much it's gonna make you dizzy.
I never stated we shouldn't sign championship players nor did I wish that we should sign Grealish either.
If we really mush sign from the lower divisions it should be with full confirmation that we are signing a real young talent Clark looks nowhere near as promising as young Dele did.
Nevertheless we are now in a better position to attract quality from the top clubs so we should use that leverage not diminish ourselves to lower tier maybes.
He is gonna be The Yorkshire Son if everything will be going according to plan.
Very true but rolling three sixes dosen't mean you're gonna be more lucky on your next throw.
I think if he were to come in that he'd be coming in as a mouldable option very much like Sessegnon.
We've seen a few winters over the years develop into fullbacks. Ashley Young, Valencia, Danny Rose etc. Even Wan-Bissaka was a winger for Crystal Palace before he stepped up o the first team. Not he boasts the best defensive stats of a full back in the league so it definitely can be done for sure.
I hope Clarke and Sessegnon join and both have a year or two to train with the first team and for Poch to see how they get on using their assets out wide.
Your not just satisfied with the top four cup?
Why you heretic.
MODS MODS HAVE THIS MAN ARRESTED!!!
Doubt he gets near the first team. Needs playing time and that likely means playing at Leeds next season on loan.
Well that's just silly. But it's a fair amount to drop and that shouldn't be taken lightly.
Exactly this. People need to stop believing these silly fees is the norm. Liverpool only spent silly money on VVD and Allison because they got silly money for Coutinho. Net spend about 20m. Good business. Barca only spent on Coutinho cause they got 200m from PSG for Neymar. PSG spent that much cause of Neymar's unique marketable qualities..... on so forth.
Three of those aren't real people.
Be thankful I didn't try and spell Toby's surname.
