It’s crazy from someone who clearly knows everything that’s going on too. Could’ve heard all sorts about who’s impressing how things are going but shiny toy syndrome kicks in during the window and that’s all they focus on

I can think of loads more interesting questions a journalist could ask a new manager other than ‘rumour is the club are interested in this player, is that true?’.
 
Maybe last year Baz was in the know on most things, buy this year maybe the watch word was 'we're in for X but dot tell Baz'... (or Mike White) and he feels left pout... Another thing Baz if you're reading, dont take the piss out of someones name Ie Xavier Simons... its unprofessional Bawwy...
Xav would leather him. Have you seen the state of Baz?

He wasn't taking the piss was he?

He was acknowledging they'd been saying his name wrong and was now using the correct pronunciation that the lad uses.
 
I think Baz gets a lot of flack that’s underserved but in general I’m not convinced by him as a journalist. He’s continued to ask Walter questions about transfers all summer when Walter from the very beginning has said ‘I’m not going to comment on that’. Either he’s being told to ask these questions by his boss at HDM or he just can’t take a hint.

I think he asks questions that he thinks the fans want to know the answer to

He probably gets a lot of that from twitter which would be just a small minority of fans but
my impression is that fans do care a lot more about potential signings than they used to

Fine, ask it once, even phrase the question as "The fans want to know ..." or "I've had a lot of messages asking ..." but not 4 times, it just (obviously) pissed Tim off. Which, as a journalist, is bad strategy.
 
As well has having to build the understanding of his style Tim also has to build togetherness within the squad and a collective spirit.

Im not sure how he was expected to do this without all the players onboard. It will take time. Walter has been well liked by his players in previous jobs and players enjoy playing for him and I don’t see why it will be any different here.

Coyle is massively important for this role as well and I’m sure week by week better relationships will be built on and off the field.

Walter also had a reputation for being a bit prickly with the media and Baz had copped some of this, it shouldn’t, but it might be tainting his view right now.
Re t
For some reason I missed this YT compilation until just now.
Yep, only YT, but he looks a player.
Hopefully he's now signed and it's announced today. Anyone heard anything more?
Can we also please have that beast of a CF in those clips. The one who manages to stay on side and seems like a bit of a black Haarland!
Yes "the beast" struck me as a someone who would be a bit of a handful. And like Harland probably would not do much other than score a hatrick every game-lay B.
