Summer '24 transfer window

Footballers aren't worth the money thrown at them even the top level ones.. game of greed with zero morals.

 

Thank **** for that. Not what we need.

 

I agree. However, woe betide you if you try to run a club sustainably. The fanbase will greet themselves daft over your 'penny pinching' and 'lack of ambition'

 

Stewart Donald?

 

Posters on forums will unironically take the piss out of the travails of the likes of Wigan whilst talking about KLDs lack of ambition on a parallel thread.

 

The opposite of sustainable is errrr .....

Correct, also the Latin name for 'tennis elbow'

 

That was a real own goal from Tony that, Dack was a horrendous signing.

 

tbf like a 23 year old really high on form and at Brighton who are known for young talent is a far cry away from Bradley Dack haha

 

Just because he's at Brighton and Le Bris wants him doesn't mean he's any good though, if they are so good at producing young talent why would they let him go.

P.S I know nothing about the actual player just making the point that just becasue the manaer wants him doesn't mean he'll be good

 

Why would the manager want him if he didn't think he was any good?

 

He thinks he's good, doesn't mean he will be. Mowbray thought Dack was good and Moyes thought Pienaar and Januzaj were good..

 

Hindsight is a great thing but at the time it seemed like a decent signing if we could keep him fit. We all said Rusyn seemed like a great signing but realistically he’s really done no more than Dack last season even though I like him and want him to be given a fair crack.

The scouts should be given praise for some of the brilliant young lads we’ve signed recently but they’ve also got their fair share wrong or at least so far proven ineffective so a bit unfair on Mowbray to blame him for the Dack situation.

 

16 goals for a winger at Rangers last season at 23 is quite good i'd say

 

To be fair mate, he represents the very striker we've been on the look out for. Big/strong but still mobile. He sounds like he could be quite cultured being a wide man too.

 

Take the point,but Dack was bought for a reason.Ok,his on pitch contribution was meagre,but we could see the intention.
I wouldn't compare any Moyes signing with our current regime....everything was a disaster then and I'd like to think we're much better than that now.
I would place a lot more trust in our recruitment team atm. Any signing is a risk....I think our homework might be much improved from Moyes time.

 

16 goals for anyone in any position is an improvement on what we have tbf

 

At the time I remember thinking he was a shrewd signing and would do a job for us - how wrong I was ha!
