Sort of this, he's the bloke who makes the phone calls to agents and clubs to bid for players and sorts out the contracts, finances and other bits and bobs. The Chief Scout is the go between from scouts to the Head of Recruitment. However, it is also the job of the head of recruitment to vet the targets in terms of financials and overall ability as it's him who has to get clearance from Tan to make the deal happen. That clearly hasn't been happening, though it makes sense that a lot of our previous signings have been dross as Ehab would have looked at potential wages and gone "yep." straight away.
Exactly, those players came in either at League One level or when we were on the slide into League One, I'm not faulting LD's ability at that level, he has a half decent knowledge of the English game and was very tightly restricted by Ehab's measures. It's not that they won't ever have a good games or make an impact, they just lack the quality to see us progress as a side. This time next year I'd be very surprised if any of the 7 you mentioned were still at the club.
According to to the summer transfer thread we had 15 new arrivals yet still playing with most of the ones who were already with us.
Guler will go to Ajax. He has a clause in his contract if he doesn’t play half the games he can go for 20 million. He’s literally the one of the best prospects of his age in the game, and it’s absolutely insane he’s not playing.
So he fancies playing in a league that only has 2-3 teams that can only realistically win and will pretty much have guaranteed European competition qualification every season, mmmm...
I asked my 20 year old grandson, he thought it was a wrestler… no that’s hulk Harry I said..lol Harry’s my grandson incase you were confused
Garang Kuol has enough points to get a work permit after moving to Newcastle, so is now likely to go on loan to the Scottish Premier League or Championship. Would love us to have a crack at him.
