I can’t believe some people would not be happy about Darlow! He’s proven at this level and the best goalkeeper we’ve had for a long time.

Probably won’t be him though.

Some people would be unhappy at anything that didn't correspond with their latest FIFA save.

But I'm sure there would be a better younger option in some obscure Azerbaijani reserve league...

If we just want proven players
Theres loads of championship journeymen

Why are all our signings basically unproven?
We are building something

Darlow is a waste of money
When we apparently have ffp constraints

So there's room for more. And there will be some experience coming in areas where we are largely relying on unproven young players.

We have 4 keepers if they are not good enough they should not be here we do not need another as for experienced heads that is what the coaches are there for because they train them with the knowledge and experience they have gained.

Have we replaced Baz Richardson yet?

And surely that depends on the structure of the coaching setup?

Silva brought in 7 or 8 staff but our appointments under Acun have been limited to about 2, plus Daws.

If a club has decided to use experienced pros as squad cover and to provide input on the training ground then that's the individual clubs decision.

There isn't a blanket rule on this. It's more the model/strategy the club opts to pursue.

I doubt a year long loan where the parent club covers a significant proportion of wages is going to dramatically impact FFP.

You on the one hand say our signings are unproven yet in the other have a fit at the suggestion were getting in a proven one.

Club can't win can they?

Club can do no wrong judging by your outlook. I get supporting them but do we really need a third goalkeeper hyping up in the run in. We need a main striker and 2 wingers miles more

If you read through I've not expressed a preference either way. Just what I've been told to expect.

Time will tell if it's successful or a waste of money, but in explaining what I believe the mindset to be some clearly feel entitled to have a go at me personally.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I am not having a go.
