The market seems to be correcting itself. Fees are becoming less ridiculous but FFP pressure stays the same
For what it's worth he just landed in Lille.. On the Q&A overall I thought he was okay, he was very clear about his ambitions, whether the team will be good enough remains to be seen. I thought it was good to hear they are looking for good quality players rather than just filling the squad with average ones.
Not surprised Lowe is going. My Norwich supporting mate, who used to get incandescent about Gibson getting £40,000 a week said that Rowe, who scored against us and had some other good games at start of season was one of their lowest paid players on around £2,100. Maybe they haven’t upped it enough and he wants out.
Think Norwich like us are having to balance books as well. With Leeds knocking on the door and they're likely to be the powerhouse in the championship next year he slots right in where Summerville left
Exactly as I've been saying it will be. A rebuild which may take us into the first few games due to the way the market is working. Those who've peed the bed look pretty stupid today. It was never looking like anything else to me. Acun has learnt lessons and is making sure this time we are stable and signing real quality the manager wants.
Apparently Walter has his concerns about Pandur at this stage and wants an experienced keeper in. #ITKonthisone
To be fair. I'll give him his dues that he's flown in to answer questions and people like myself who were critical feel a bit better. My hope is now he delivers which I think he will. I hope he also sticks with Tim if it does get a bit hairy early on like Carrick had a bit of a wobble early last year with all new signings.
We need to get behind the manager and thr team. It's going to take time but last year was dire football and the squad was built on sand. If we are serious about being a top side in this comp we need to sign well
I think there's still an overwhelming feeling that Pandur is very much in the plans, but just not yet? He's only 24, is reasonable with his feet. Has pulled off some good saves already. But just isn't ready yet.
I think it's too soon to say. I honestly think from what I've seen he'd be a good choice as first choice with a better side in front of him. Seems much more assured than Allsop and Ingram, he catches balls we've seen Allsop fumble, he's confident and he's not afraid to come off his line (for better or worse). It's put him in a bad light playing these friendlies with a severely weakened squad that are trying to adapt to a completely new way of playing, which is higher risk stuff. I honestly think he'll come good.
Someone got their chance to ask the owner anything about the club, and the best they could come up with was: Why is Pandur playing on the halfway line? Is he stupid?
The issue is the only way he gets ready is playing. We saw it with Jakupovic and even Gulacsi when he was here. Sometimes keepers mature later on. We saw a bit of improvement from Pandur in the Reading game. He just needs an old head next to him to show him some of the ropes
I 'need' to go on a fast,possibly for as long as a fortnight... Jimmy Five Bellies,Glasgow. P.S,hope all is well
