I remember reading that they have a team who have identified potential replacements for every player within their squad based on personality and ability, so if any kind of release clause gets triggered or player gets injured then there's a target to go and get straight away. It's a fantastic model for a football club, and would help a team like us who seem to go through so many managers. I think that's what Riley/Fox/Almstad tried to do last summer. It's all about context, and also having talented scouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely would be far too late. Just talk with no basis, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Reacho Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 It would be fantastic if we got Diame from under their noses and he turned out to be awesome. They would utterly despise us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I'm pretty certain Nixon wasn't referring to DIame, with his tweet before. I think the 'better hurry all the same', was just a reference to the season starting soon. Edited August 3, 2016 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Field Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I feel we should try to hijack Alex Pritchard, he seems to be a decent young English winger. Decent price to. And surely wingers must be our priority, the difference between winger and the other areas we need to invest in is that we have no wingers and teams are never successful without wingers, they offer the easiest and most dangerous way of attack. We really really need two wingers tbh. Also would enjoy if we tried to hijack Diame, it's not to late until it is official p.s in my opinion Jack Grealish is not a winger but more of a attacking central midfielder. Also I never expect to see Adama again, because managers don't seem to rate him + he is always injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish, Bacuna, Adama, Tishbola, and 2 incoming = 6 midfielders, not 3 Better still, try posting your own opinions instead of hovering around discecting other peoples in a childish, pedantic attempt to make yourself look oh so clever. So just 2 centre backs and 1 left back? Ok then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they broke the news at the same time as the Daily Mail about McCormack fee being agreed and the author of the piece was Graeme Bailey who is a reliable journo so maybe they are improving as a news outlet.
