Was around the time Callum Wilson was being linked to us and apparently “chose” Newcastle. Don’t know if it was him or someone else. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 11 hours ago, useless said: I wrote: 'When Smith says we're going to be targetting mainly UK based players it's not some sort of conspiracy, he's got no reason to say it if it wasn't true.' You replied: 'He didn’t say we’re going to be targeting them. He said we did, last summer.' To which I quite reasonably pointed out that Smith has previously said this: '"We wanted a British feel about us but that’s not to say we will turn our noses up at good deals abroad, argued Smith. We expect player recruitment to be harder because of Brexit, so young, British talent is what we’re looking for.' So yes Smith has said we're going to be targetting young English players. My take on this is that they're targeting English, but will sign anyone if the ability and money is right. Not sure brexit makes any difference whatsoever to signing people outside the EU... so we may even add to our Brazilian contingent . Definitely not worth arguing about at this stage. If we are going for British, I'm on board with the Buendia bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Our most successful signings since Smith took over have all been English or England based. Yes you may pay over the odds and it’s not as glamorous as say a Brazilian but at the moment it’s what has worked for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And stupid? It’s nothing to do with us/fans… There was a leak in the press/media and it was reported that Lange cancelled a deal due to it. That is all. FFS give it a rest and move on with your life.

I thought was more along the lines of we were in talks with a player, then the news gets leaked, probably by players agent and it turns out we were being used to progress said players signing to another club, so we backed out of talks. Im thinking Weston McKennie? Can’t remember exact details. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
