    Doesn't look like a winger.

    If he's that concerned, why does he keep agreeing to new deals? Why not go elsewhere....

    His stats show he's played most of his Eredivise games out wide. Can play as a second striker or 10 through the middle though.

    There are clubs we wouldn't be able to out- compete but then there are those that we are doing. Ultimately it will most likely come down to 2 things; money and the quality of opportunity that the player thinks the clubcan provide them.

    Developing the likes of Bowen and KLP in recent years won't be harming us, but I'd expect the manager and style of play will also be a consideration when players are weighing up their best fit.

    Still, if Philogene or any other potential player thought they'd be first choice on oodles of cash in the prem or at a side they felt more likely to be promoted then they probably wouldn't be coming.

    Oh i don't know one could think Sheff Utd or Southampton could have possibly taken 1 or 2 of the players we got or trying to get but they never and as you suggest perhaps they maybe could have offered better opportunity and oodles of cash but they come or are coming here says alot really, arm twisted behind their backs by their agents and frog marched here.

    Or they had no other offers (Connolly) or they have lower offers from others. No matter how much you drone on about it, the point of the comment in your original statement still stands, if a team with parachute payments really wanted any of the players we have got then they would have got them....

    It doesn't mean they players we are/potentially are getting aren't good, far from it. But it doesn't change the fact and that fact doesn't mean w haven't done well, doesn't mean the players aren't good players and it doesn't mean I'm poo pooing our business, club or city. It's just being realistic to the materialistic industry that is football and the players that play in it

    Look whatever players decide the reason for coming here instead of other clubs is their choice, but Acun and Tan have sold the family Dream to them they started the build straight away when buying the Club, they brought LR and changed the way everything is and how it's run , players can see also how Acun treats the fans how far they go to fill the ground and get fans to away games the whole parcel.

    Players see everything and now what Acun is doing is paying off players want to come here and be part of it and also believe in it the players already here say how it is we no longer have to sell ourselves we have even had a player come to us because he thought he made a mistake.

    Acun might be selling the Club to everyone players,fans,sponsers but they are all buying into it and believing in it.

    If we’ve ‘heavenly done well’ then I’d hope for a bit of divine intervention for ref decisions too!

    Nobody is disagreeing with anything you put there, but do you honestly think if Leicester really wanted Philogene for example and offered him more money, bigger signing on fee, bigger bonus and a longer deal... That'd he'd pick us over them?

    His situation was a little different to most though.

    Having said that, I'm sure that gut feeling counts, a lot.

    None of the parachute payment teams wanted Twine. I'm not sure what you're struggling to understand with this.

    Well HT that really depends on what Acun has offered him what he sold to him and if he has spoken to others at the Club as i said i think this Club is at a point which it has never been people actually want to be here.
