British_Empire 9,648 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Honestly don't see the fuss in Boyle. Would be delighted if he went to the tarriers and took Griffith's place as back-up to Eduord or however his stupid names spelt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterC 12,336 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Mario Gotze is a name I'm hearing on the grapevine. Seems he wants a new challenge outside Germany and has high regard for Gerrard. Out of contract so no fee and seemingly wages wont be an issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueThunder 8,454 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Can’t decide if I want our business (if any) done early, or wait until near the end of the window. As much as I love getting players settled in quickly, I think it also allows other teams (ie the filth) to react to our signings. Not that I suspect there will be a huge amount of signings, mind you.

For all of their chat about investing for 10* in a row I’d be surprised if they do any serious business. I think they’ll end up selling one or two of their first team players and replacing them with cheaper options. Their wage bill is massive and so the period without income will hurt them more than they’ll acknowledge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smell the hotdog 4,026 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I’m for quality over quantity so reservations over this McGhee but other teams have shown you can pick up good frees from big teams. Empoli got Bennacur from Arsenal sold him to Milan for 16m few seasons later. PSV picked up Malen from Arsenal for about half a million. 17 goals in 25 apps, talk of 20+ million move in summer. Hertha signed Dilrosun from city for free and he’s now valued at 10m+ after doing well. Cant blame people writing him off already as this type of signing has never worked out previously. Teams have shown you can do it successfully tho, it’s just we’re fuckin hopeless at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players take that step up to first team football in their stride and others don’t. If you make signings like that you have to just accept a decent proportion of them won’t work.

True there will be an element of that but got to be some sort of science behind it. Our Scouting/transfers have been a riot since the McLeish days with a few exceptions.

He operated under really tough conditions but also signed a lot of guff Scouting is just difficult. Basically no club gets it consistently right. I do agree we need to do a lot better though.

Aye I was most definitely including McLeish 😂 should of worded it since Advocaat. Hopefully Wilson is the man to improve it to where it needs to be.

The science behind it will only get you so far.. if it was purely down to science then most clubs would be getting it right most of the time... they dont. Dembele at Barca, for example. Great at Dortmund then a massive move which turned out to be shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in the science in it plays a reasonable enough part but so many other things come into play like how they adapt to new surroundings, character, home life etc. Think that shows in certain clubs who do it far better than others Leipzig, Dortmund, Ajax to name a few.

It is a policy that a lot of German clubs have taken and was how Dortmund signed Sancho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright enough youngsters in their own way but we need battle hardened leaders this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
