I have a different recollection. He was banging them in before he came to us but unfortunately his goals dried up with us. I don’t think he was that great after he left us, but stand to be corrected

Yeah it's a shame that MGB deal has had issues as that would be 2 good first team signings in for the tour. Hopefully it can get done before the tour but unlikely.
Regarding the outs I don't think we're the only ones who struggle to sell, but it's about trying to get it done so you can reassess the squad and see what's needed.
at the end of the day if they were in top form you wouldn't be selling them anyway...so the likelihood of there being loads of clubs ready to throw money at your unwanted players is slim despite some of them having decent reputations
Was pretty solid for WH and Fulham. Never the best but a good career.
some proper rose tinted glasses on some folk, he is a painfully average player and i would be terrified with him up against CL level attacks
Didn't folk want to sign him because he is club trained and it gives us space to register another player in our CL squad?
Yeah it's really not that complicated, obviously though half the forum had to respond to it as though he was being hailed as peak-Cafu reincarnate...
Why would you sign a player to register in your CL squad when he’s not the level to play in the CL for you?
Unless I've got this wrong we can register a club trained player like KWP meaning that you can register another player in the squad that may have been cut out due to squad size i.e Spence/Kinsky/Dragusin?
Afraid not. He’d have just been squad filler and not good enough.
I’m pretty sure you’ve got that wrong.
Totally agree. Watched him for Southampton last season and thought teams targeted him as he’s a weak defender.
Roger Bannister was the first person to run the mile under 4 minutes.
Argh. And to think I believed him, all this time.
I only know that because Jim Rosenthal mentioned it when John Lowe hit the first televised 9 darter in darts...
The point is there's a difference between saying you don't think someone is good enough and looking at last season or his current form/ability, and looking at their first senior CL game from 6.5 years ago against the pretty-much prime era barcelona.
Imagine looking at Kane at a similar stage and using that to say he's not up to it. For the low-hanging fruit there, that is intentionally a dichotomy and not a "KWP is as good as Kane" comparison. More that Kane didn't look that great until he'd played quite a few games for us (noting that Kane surpassed the number of first team apps that KWP had for us mid-way through Inter-tim's reign)

Just sign this guy and leave MGW to deal with the big fat Greek wedding crasher
