tbh and I admit I know nothing on any facts regarding wages etc or whos holding out and not budging on what , but KLP is reminding me of Josh Tymon right now ... I know the scenarios are different , but I think it will end the same and his development will follow the same path
Tymon if he'd stayed would have more game time under his belt. Still has youth on his side to be fair. Started a few this season I think? Not yet a regular but still only 21. Seems to have had to take a significant step back to perhaps now move forward though. One thing I know, the parascit.... sorry, agent will have got his cut.
It will impact on the movement of players. It might help the development of home grown players though - swings and roundabouts.
We wouldn't be able to sign Mayer now for example but we'd be able to sign anyone from the top 5 leagues, irrespective of how often they've played this year
It impacts on the work permit/visa issue. They have to be a "special talent" or something similar. Basically, yes. Unless we get promoted and start paying big money for players from the Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga or Ligue 1, which obviously won't happen anytime soon.
There's only Greaves and KLP that are wanted in terms of bigger clubs. The other lads are wanted by lower league clubs but obviously aren't going forever.
Just read McCanns comments on KLP. I would like him to say direct why he is not starting games and more importantly whose decision is it that he is not starting. The situation is again ridiculous and embarrassing.
Like it did in the 1970s when there were only a handful of foreign players, but we failed to qualify for 2 World Cups and 2 Euros?
He's not very media savvy GM, and Burns keeps pushing the right buttons to provoke him into saying things perhaps GM later regrets. It feels like he's on the verge of saying 'It's not me it's Ehab that's ****ing things up'. Whatever his limited qualities as a manager are, he needs a goalscorer and a united dressing room, which several KLP appearances ago he had. Disappointing for a naive teenager that he's been ****ed about like this. Is there no-one that has his (or his families) ear that could say, learn from Tymon and Bowen and cut ties with this twat.
