There'll be no PR from me if we don't make positive signings, but do you seriously think we won't? Just wait and see, then if it's ****, it's ****. Until then, you're just looking like you're pursuing a personal agenda - which to be fair, would be standard for you.
Hope I'm wrong but I'd be surprised if he ever significantly eclipses the fee we sold him for. Don't see him developing into a top 10 PL player.
I just wonder if Lee Darnbourgh's departure has had some influence on deals we are trying to get over the line? I see Stoke have bought V Johannson the goalkeeper from Rotherham for a £1m, when you look at what we paid for Pandur, he may well have been a better buy.
That’s a great signing by Stoke. I really rate him as a keeper. He had a lot of practice in goal for Rotherham last season.
4 weeks ago we were discussing about playoffs, now there are 3-4 pages of relegation discussion. If we can't get players next week, we will start to discuss building 2nd league squad and preparing for next season. Is there a parachute payment? Let's hope that youth ranks can produce couple of starters, that might save us.
No one's saying we can't cope too. It's just a tricky situation we've got ourselves into and there are now challenges we face as a result.
I have been thinking similarly. I have no idea if we have anyone in the recruitment team now who has as good a working knowledge of affordable talent in the EFL as I suspect Darnborough had. I might be wrong, but the evidence thus far supports your point.
Pandur came from team Acun previously owned, which has Turkish shareholders. If something is fishy, address is clear.
