Let’s not nit pick what I said, Walter has a track record of producing the most high quality chances across both seasons at Hamburg. Every system is designed to create them, of course. Some are designed to create them much more often/better quality. I doubt we’ll see many games this season where we never look like scoring unlike last season. Of course we’ll have games we’ll be frustrated and so on but they’ll be much more on the players in front of goal this season rather than what’s leading upto it
Hang on, everyone's happy to shed high wage earners like Tufan but think it's sensible bringing a high wage earner like Oscar back?
If we sign 5 loan players this window as Baz has mentioned, that completely goes against building a long term squad, doesn't it? And let's not forget, loans are ****ing expensive these days.
I'd imagine discussions between both clubs, Oscar, Tan and Tim have been ongoing for a while and have taken a bit of time. I also very much doubt the club would have forced the return unless Oscar himself was up for it.
I thought that too. Plus we don't get that £3m fee for him so it's a massive financial shift by the time you include wages too. Clearly, we don't know whether Bahia had any intention of triggering the purchase option.
Can’t see anything wrong with bringing Oscar back, comical a man who would have been our top scorer with his highest tally of 13 as ever a bad thing. Especially if it’s get balls into dangerous areas I can’t think of someone better and especially without having to spend a fee. Could play well off someone who knows? Might be a sub? Scored a few belters and looked sharp in pre season, knows where the onion bag is. I’d rather we didn’t sign Zaroury and had him to bring on over Sharp last season.
How did people cope when we just had The Hull Daily / Sports Mail and passing mention on Blunderside, having to wait until the beginning of the season before having panicoronaries about the latest squad...
I'm sure people will say it's a coincidence but since LR was fired a lot of people have decided they don't want to be here any more. Ignoring the loanes and Greaves and Jaden as they were always going; the Head of Recruitment has gone, the keeper coach has too, Tufan's gone, Mika looks like going and Allsop has gone too. It's quite a lot of unexpected churn in a short space of time.
Depends how many permanent signings we make alongside it and the aim of said loan signings. I’ve already heard of one we are doing with an option so it’s got a long term aim
Wouldn't be surprised if there's more than a hint of PR about the decision to bring him back. I assume the Brazilian club has no intention of triggering their option. In that case it makes sense given the fact we don't have a senior striker on the books. Gives us the ability to regain control of our asset earlier and it's good PR ahead of the turkey trip, given the ownership are now coming under significant scrutiny.
Tufan has gone to a champions league club in his home nation. Saudi is a big payday for Seri. We aren’t an attractive club regardless those 2 make sense entirely. Darnborough who knows. Track record and reputation isn’t great anyway. Baz Richardson is the worrying one but suppose people with certain morales would probably walk out after how Rosie was handled
There was Pennock before though, so maybe we're reading too much into Baz leaving - but then it's difficult to imagine him not having reservations about the owners Allsop comments. I would if it was one of my team. Its significant that Daws has stayed, and I assume Johnny Eyre. I'd be asking searching questions if they went as well though.
