Graham Carr Interview Snippets!

All sounds very, very promising for next season. He was interviewed for Total sport and this is the general gist of what was said, sorry if anyone has already seen/heard this:



- Graham Carr's meeting with MA/DL/AP was at Ashley's house in Majorca and the contract was the first thing on the agenda. They sat for two days working on a target list and are now pursuing.

- "The reason I signed this contract was that Mike convinced me he was there for the long haul and there is money to spend again"

- " I watched Cisse for years and I never thought we would get him."

- "We work on an age group we monitor and work on the basis if worst come to worse we would get our money back"

- “We are not scouting Asia, South America, etc even Germany is hard as their wages are on a par with the PL"

- "We dont think we can compete with the big clubs at 16/17. We look at players playing 1st team football at a young age"

- "I saw Cisse play at 16, Cabaye at 19, Tiote at 21. We watch these players for a long time"

- "We dont really scout end of march/ April because players are tired. Players coming in this summer I watched at start of season"

- "I get a feel for a player. If I watch a team enough i know pretty instinctively who can play.I do a lot of homework though too"”

- "HBA is a maverick, you have to put your arm around him and love him. He is a better player for how he has been treated here"”

- "MA has committed himself to this club and we will buy this summer. As we speak we are in negotiations with players now."

- "This is my dream job. My father sat in the old East Stand in the 30s and i went with him as a boy. This club is in my blood"

Nice to get little snippets of news like this.

 

I wonder if his son is into footy...?

Hopefully this will help dispell the doomongers among us.

 

I love this man.
