Can’t say I’m not a little gutted about Asante. Limited or not, I’d have him straight in the team over what we’ve currently got. It’s abit of a no brainer for him if Cov closer and paying more money. We’ll have other targets which I’m sure we’re working on but he seems a safe bet who at the very least, suited the system and had the legs for it.
This Asante thing... it was said he didnt want to leave WBA. The club decided it seems. Then all of a sudden he doesnt have to move house (perhaps) maybe a slight increase in offer... what more are our club supposed to do!!..
Also, if it’s a better option for him and his family and that’s what he’s opted for, best of luck to him, can’t have been overly convinced by us anyway in which case we’re better off persuing others that are more invested in what we want to do.
Maybe stick to your motto of “we only want players that want to be here” and maybe check with the lad first
Seen this said a few times, but I didn't see any pictures (did see a piture of Mehlem). Was he actually there? just seen this:
So let's change it slightly.... If it was you and you'd been offered a new job that would take you out the region you lived, you'd move your family etc and you'd gone up to their head office to see it and meet people etc. Then afterwards another company offered you the same job paying slightly more, they're based in your current region and you wouldn't have to move or see your family less, what would you do? Would you class it as embarrassing etc.
Considering 10+ players said themselves they came here last season to play the style I would say there’s a fair chance they might, yes.
Out of order that Assante sent Cyrus Christie in his place whilst he was livin' it up in Coventry. Surely, he must have known that we'd all have realised if Cyrus had signed up pretending to be him?
One step further, only sign players who are born in E Yorks. Could be like a Bilbao basque thing. B&A Scaffolding had a similar approach in he 90s and they won the FA Sunday League Cup.
Asante must think coventry are far more.likely to get promoted than us Premier league will be his dream He would move in a heartbeat if he believed in us Players not wanting to move house is just ****ty pr spin We can pretend all we like but we cant convince players of our.project
If only we played the style they were sold before singing then we'd most likely would have been in the play off. Plus let's be honest...what player is going to say any different and just say, "yer I came because of the money and or my parent club advised me to come here for game time" Did LR have pull, of course as he's a very likeable person. Was he the reason we got the players we did.....no
