Totally accept your response , maybe i just wanted someone who might know a little to stop the whingeing gits endlessly going on and on with doom and gloom. We can all rest easy now , yep I don’t know why I still get a little doubtful , there really is no comparison with many of the previous custodians of the club . Like many it’s the caring that does your head - cheers HT2 - ps I should have bet on Schauffle I guessed he'd do it on Thursday , but I’m not a betting man !
Backs up my earlier point of him not considering Hull City without the link nicely really. The line.."but Acun Ilıcalı is following this transfer closely" made me chuckle. Wonder if he's offered him a lift in his plane yet!
Schauffle deserved it didn't he! First one to win 2 majors in a year for quite a while as well ( I think )
Could the brain team have a look in League 1, League 2 or the SPL, there’s some talents to be had in these leagues, and funnily enough ones we can make money on. We don’t need 3/4 players at the age of of 29+, from the continent, thank you very much.
We do really have lofty ambitions recruitment wise under Acun, do believe that’s where we stumble recruitment wise sometimes. These deals take ages as these players have countless offers, usually as we hate to admit in much more favourable cities
I already told Okay won't come here, and I already put 2 names (Mercan and Aydin) that can be transferred from Turkey with European passport, both transferred to Fener though. Turkey ship is gone, at this point only foreigner players that teams plan to offload can arrive. Moreover new federation president (elected couple of days ago) already announced that they will relax foreign player rule, so Fener might not even let Crespo leave. Don't put your hopes high.
How much did we sell Jacob Greaves to Ipswich for ffs? We were also told that Newcastle wanted £5m for Darlow last summer and he signed for Leeds for £550k.
We always seem to shoot really high and whilst he's been here, it hasn't really worked. Fabio was a big success but I'm not sure about any others. I don't particularly like the idea of spending big money on Fenerbahce rejects either. Hasn't worked for us previously, and costs an absolute fortune
Tufan worked. Pelkas was a loan, Allahyar we made our money back. Not as bad as some make out id argue.
We still lost money on Tufan, Pelkas was on big wages too and didn't contribute much and Allahyar, supposedly got the transfer fee back but again significant wages on someone who didn't contribute much. It wasn't catastrophic business but also not very good considering Acun's close links. They all struggled with the tempo/intensity of the Championship and it's not something I'd be in a rush to try again.
I think had Rosenior been there from the start all would’ve been much better value. Allahyar and Tufan especially.
If only it were water under the bridge, yet here we are with people like you keep bringing it back up again.
