Yet there’s no thread or anything - but it’s just as speculative as Bednarek at this point. People would rather just self-flagellate about how terrible we are. Self-flagellation is the definition of VT, right now... It is hysteria from many vocal posters... 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill, all things must pass. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Ajax just turned down 90 mill Euro bid from Man U for whoever Antony is. Apparently their total annual turnover is 120 mill Euros. English clubs are being fleeced lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 SPECIAL Fenerbahce signed Marseille's 26-year-old Croatian defender Duja Caleta-Car € for 6.5M testimonial + bonuses. #TeamOM #MercatOM #OM #Mercato #AVFC One of the few defenders in the world who use both feet... Szalai on the move to us then maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, I'm actually slightly dissappointed re Caleta Car, based on nothing more than him being two footed and seemingly excellent with the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same happened with Coutinho. He was a rare success story. Chances are you buy a player that has had a tough time of it either because of poor form, injury, alcoholism or age then they are also going to be shit for your club too. I didn’t know Paul McGrath was always wheeled out. Is the aging journeyman Peter Withe replacing £1.5m hero Andy Gray also wheeled out or Ken McNaught who initially took months to settle in? Most of our successful players probably would have had their detractors at some point. Even Ron Saunders would probably have been greeted with overwhelming apathy these days. People used to gain what knowledge they had of incoming players by a quick glance in the papers or what they’d heard in the pub from the mate of his brother in law’s postman. Now we have experts who spend hours googling spurious reports by largely uninformed “journalists”. This information is then either treated as fact or bullshit depending on the posters own opinion. I know it’s the way of the world and I’m as guilty as the next man of being a Google addict. What I’m saying is we don’t really know how a player will turn out until they arrive. Good players can flop and players who have flopped at their previous clubs can be rejuvenated at a new club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, he will sign for us and prove to be shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's from one of the biggest clubs in the world. My gut feeling is that the scouts themselves are good at their job. But its the upper management who decide what players to buy who are choosing against the scouts recommendation. I think this theory has a ring of truth about it. Maybe some managers are more risk averse than others. Take Graham Potter for example he probably would be happier than SG to take a risk on unknown CB.

Looks a bargain! Without beating a dead horse. Have you noticed there is a trend where alot of these new signings in the League, are big, powerful players, to add to already bigger teams?. Meanwhile we are often linked to midgets, to add to an already small team. Obviously links are purely the that but our size and strength is such a glaring issue, and has been for time!
