I think this 80% thing is another case of Acun getting taken too literally and his words over-analysed. He probably said the 80% thing to make the point that Tim Walter is being choosy in a good way, in the context of why we aren't rushing to sign any old players as soon as possible. I seriously doubt the specific figure is actually accurate, he's probably just come up with a number off the top of his head.

No it literally means 32 players have been put forward and Mr Walter has only agreed to 4 of them.

Whichever way you look at it it’s terrible. The manager needs to be allowed to manage and bring in the players he want rather than wasting lots of time on players he doesn’t care about.

I'm not sure he would have spent much time on each player. Its the equivalent of two blokes sat outside Divas watching women walk past and saying 'would you do her'. Tim will be just giving a quick nod or shake of the head.

Surely you mean 500 to get 10

That's what he is doing. The recruitment team are there in lieu of TW going to games and watching players himself, that's their job.

He will tell them what he wants, they'll go out and find players that fit the bill, he decides which ones from that group work best.
 
What's the point in the club putting anything out at all when every little piece of info gets dissected, contorted and fleshed out with conjecture to the point it has to be a bad thing?
I find not knowing anything about transfers quite relaxing.

I’ll start to be interested when the line up against Bristol is announced, and I’ll start having vague thoughts about where we’ll end the season after the transfer window closes.

…although I am sat in the sun having a large glass of Havana 7 and an even larger cigar!

A large glass of Marlborough sav blanc for me….:emoticon-0148-yes:
