Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2021 And this is my fear about this stubborn ( Must be British or British based ) thing - If any truth to links. You start at the likes of Beundia, ESR, Ward Prowse, then end up with the likes of Cantwell and Winks if first choices don't go through. As I've previously said, I'd much rather invest in top tier foreigners, even if they take more time to settle, than to end up with the likes of Josh King, for example. I appreciate the principle, but it's highly restrictive IMO. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) The British first or knowing the league is obviously driven by Smith and I can see the merits and also the drawbacks. A mix is key or we will end up Splurging money away for the sake of it where better value is out there to be had. Sander Berge fits the criteria and would suggest is a more realistic option than Winks. Edited June 30, 2021 by thabucks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and I knew what you meant to be honest. I just thought I'd poke fun at a mistake in an otherwise concise and sensible post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Love Deano but have to say Harry Winks strikes me as the type of player I wouldn't be surprised in him liking for that position. Higher level obviously but real Tom Carroll vibes about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we hadn’t signed Sanson then sure, but we’re clearly not against signing foreign based players if the recruiting team like them. Flip side of that: we say one minute that it’s okay if new boys take time to settle, and in the next that insufficient progress next season means Deano’s head on the block - and it probably is. I don’t think ‘we’ as a fan base can have it both ways, and Smith will naturally minimise the risk to his own ongoing employment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Prowse and C*ntwell I am not sure they'd be good here under Smith, we need better arriving and I reckon the media are just floating names around because they are clueless to any real business going on this window.

useless Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Harry Winks isn't as bad as is made out, I don't particular want us to sign him but wouldn't be major disappointed if we did. Cantwell is someone that it crossed my mind that we might go for if we couldn't get Smith Rowe, I think he's an underrated player. But I'd be dubious of those links, I'm not sure that Mike McGrath is the most reliabe of reporters on transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Actually think Cantwell has a ton of potential, but a little strange if we buy Buendia AND him. Winks strikes me as someone who needs a move and he will then either flourish or vanish without trace. I imagine that will end up being to someone like West Ham.
