W-S-M Seagull Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 15 minutes ago, MythikRobins said: A bit like us not too long ago maybe? 2 big sales and then almost entirely spending what they brought in. Its certainly fun but if it doesn't pan out it hurts you big time. Their recruitment so far seems good enough, can imagine a player like Simms leaving on a big fee in a few years. But just like it did with us that can turn, a couple who get plagued with injuries, a couple who don't work out and suddenly you're in big trouble. Personally, I don't think they'll get promoted anytime soon. They had their best chance and blew it unfortunately, this year is another good chance, but I don't think any of their players are currently close to Hamer and certainly not Gyokeres. I'd love to be proven wrong though. If City can't go up I'd rather non-parachute payment clubs go up. Yep very similar. It might work out for them who knows. But giving the likes of JD 4 year contracts does raise my eyebrows. But yea a year or two years down the line I do worry about them financially.

Rob left West Ham in May where he'd been for while as Head of Recruitment under Moyes who poached him from Man City where he'd been part of a team rather than leading it. Possible role for him with us??? I guess he'd have to get used to shopping at Lidl rather than Waitrose but there's no shame in that these days when you look at the Mercs & BMWs in the store car park where I get my grocery's !! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 2 hours ago, Ska Junkie said: I guess the suggestion would be a fit McCrorie. If what we've seen has cost us £2M, hmmm. I think there's alot more to come from Ross, at least I hope so. I hope so too. I really hope I’m wrong about him & hope somebody can tell me what I’m missing in his game. I see a wing back that should be providing width but wants to cut inside & condense the pitch . Fine if you got somebody overlapping you but that’s actually his job. I also see someone who is slow to react to runners & also for a big lad gets out muscled too easily . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
