No he hadn't, but my point was he'd still had 30+ games at this level, and we got a better version of him because of that experience. I've seen it mentioned a few times now that we've got great relationships with Man City and Liverpool but having a quick look at their kids, there's not many that have been out on loan before, never mind in the Championship.
On the other hand you could end up with the next Omari Hutchinson who also hadn't been out on loan prior to last season, and smashed it.
Maybe but they're very few and far between. This is the problem with this short-term strategy, you're completely reliant on being able to get very good loans each year. There are a tonne of reasons why that might not be possible.
I'm sorry but I don't see 10th a success with larger number of permanent or not. I'd only see 10th a success if we'd just got promoted
That I agree on I won't be joining in chants of "we are 10th in the league say we are 10th in the league"
Good and bad? Good that Tim appears to have a big say and is being selective. Bad in that 80% sounds a high rejected rate, meaning a bit of a disconnect in thinking?
Well that's a worry. Not re: Tim but that we're giving him options that don't fit what he wants. Wonder if Liam had the same authority?
Acun always said Liam had the final say so I highly doubt he said no to any that they then signed behind his back so to speak.
Says to me that Walter has specific players in mind and doesn't want alternatives. Wish we'd get on with signing some of the 20% though
80% isn't a worrying number, the lists of potential players clubs have are absolutely huge, they will only ever actually sign 5/7% of them
Fantastic, so if we're looking at 20-30 players I'd assume the 5-6 he's said yes to will be signed in the coming days.
And I'm sure the vast majority of the 80% meet the general profile Tim wants, but then he probably analyses specifics.
