Yes but I'd start with the spine given how many of these wasters we'll still have under contract come the new season. bluewhitevanman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they seen something in him the fact he can defend first and they could work on his technical ability. FWIW I think he will go on and have a right good career and we have made a mistake letting him go. I think he'll be a good player, and I was pissed we let him go when we are paying cunts like Pena 20+k a week I'm assuming they'll be relegated, but hope they wont. bluewhitevanman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here hope they stay up not that I take an interest in bundesliga but that wee connection always has me wanting them to do well. I think if they can get him better technically then he will be back playing in England in a couple of seasons Rum Ham 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t argue with the dude as he does his thing for the daily record and u can’t possibly know more about football than him, no way, not at all.

I haven't seen it if there has been Evidence that Allen or Gerrard know markets outwith the UK? Gerrard just spent a year playing in America. Sure he'll have a fair idea of a few players there too. If even just the guys he played with at LA Galaxy. Allen was heavily involved in recruitment at Man City's Academy in his eight years there where they sign boys from all around the world.

I don't assume they won't but I don't for a second think someone like Gerrard only knows the English market because he spent most of his career playing in England.

ZZed 4,510 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 The biggest problem would be getting them to sign for a club like our at the minute; one look at google and they would be "no thanks". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Managers normally start by going after players they already know. Rodgers went after Sinclair, Clarke brought in Mulumbu, Pedro gave us Pena and Herrera. Player recruitment is a key part of the job so we need to hope Gerrard (if he gets it) is excellent at it given the task at hand. He'll need to come here and complete rebuild the team before laying down a formation and style of play that will win us the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will not survive scouting and recruiting from English Leagues. Why are we not linked with anyone from European leagues? There is a handfull of centre backs from Bundesliga 2 I would take over the same names we are constantly linked with from England. Come next year there will be restrictions on foreign players.
