    My perception was that it goes beyond that. So Harvey and his team do the scouting and identification, but its Speakman who then decides who to bid for , how much to bid for them etc.

    Harvey and the scouts just do identification. Speakman then recruits based off that identification. Surely?

    So its very fair to say that Speakman hasn't recruited a striker. But what we don't know is whether thats because the scouting team aren't identifying suitable ones, or because Speakman is too reluctant to act strongly on the ones that have been identified

    Re Jacky, the one thing we all know is that the Echo never, ever get ahead of the game with the club.

    They know **** all they have a **** relationship with the club.

    Absolute speakman witch hunt. Itd mental. It's a social media narrative and we've all seen recently how strongly such narratives can embed in people's minds

    It’s a minority, and a minority who don’t go to games (they online during them…)

    He’s made mistakes for sure but to have squad assets well over £100 million is incredible work from 3 years back.

    Sorry like but Skunk has got more things right than Copley on anything major with regards to the football club.

    So I know who I’m believing, given Copley’s wordplay in the article (signed/agreed) it just seems like it’s an article thrown together to gain clicks for revenue for the echo.

    With no other strong links to strikers emerging, I think the club must still be confident of getting this over the line.

    I think this is their man, they have sifted through all the data and the only other names that match our requirements either aren't available or wouldn't dream of dropping top tier football for the Championship.

    https://www.ouest-france.fr/sport/f...n-thomas-5681dac8-5a1b-11ef-aca8-aadd4a56ff25

    After making his return yesterday on the Venoix annex 3 , Alexandre Mendy trained indoors.

    https://actu.fr/normandie/caen_1411...s-yann-mvila-et-alexandre-mendy_61485302.html

    Alexandre Mendy, who had appeared with a small group of players the day before, was absent. The centre forward, whom the club refuses to give up at a lower cost, will have to continue his training partly individually. It remains to be seen whether this first return is the end of the saga or simply another episode...
