Hughes?

  • Yes

  • No

  • Not sure

The transfer dealings have got progressively worse in my opinion. Not only has the quality gone downhill, recently we've also been ignoring key areas to strengthen.

I haven’t said he isn’t aware and I don’t know if he is aware or not.

You haven’t been on the forum for a while Sosa and so haven’t read my opinion. If you had, you wouldn’t have posted the above comment to me. My opinion is actually similar to yours. :emoticon-0148-yes:

I wasn't digging you out, I was merely replying to your point about it 'pissing Hughes about' - it's not pissing him about if he knows the situation he's in. I then tagged my thoughts on whether I think Hughes is the right choice afterwards, but maybe I should have done so in a separate comment.

But Black, if it is to be Mark, why the wait? Does that question not bug you?

Yeah, it's a bit weird. But the season only finished a week ago. I'd like it done by June 1st personally, but after our clusterfuck of a season, I'm not surprised if the board are approaching everything with extra caution. We might need to wait on feedback from the owner of the club too. Maybe he has been too busy to fly to England, who knows?

The point I was kind of trying to make, was that we shouldn't look at West Ham as the model of how to get things done.

Is our record at unearthing players really that good. Mane is really the only one that stands out to me. VVD was a top centre back albeit in a minor league but pretty much everyone knew about his qualities, same goes for Tadic and Pelle. I'd say we have had as many misses as hits when it comes to transfers in fact the misses may be edging ahead.

I agree we have had as many hits as misses. We find players all the time. Nobody is a true unknown these days anyway. Lots of teams were looking at Mane when we did.

We will continue to find good and bad players. To think we won’t find any really good ones for a long time strikes me as being a little defeatist.

Lots of people seem to forget this. You're right to say that no players are truly unknown now.

I think more then anything we are willing to take "risks" on these players, where as bigger teams won't. Most people didn't bat an eye lid when a player from the Austrian league joined us...
