I’ve always said whoever’s been in charge of scouting recruitment needs there eyes and ears testing.
Surely they can’t have watched some of these players we’ve brought in, some of who we hardly ever played and shipped out with on a free or loaned straight out, the list is endless. More worrying they tend to be the players we’ve pay good money for.
Something’s not right when every window were 10 in 10 out (other year 14) it’s total madness.
Hopefully Darren Royale starts from the top and sorts this mess out because it gone on far to long. At one time we rarely got it wrong Valencia, Chimbonda, Palacios, N’Zogbia, Moses Whilchut all moving on for a tidy some but money we’ve wasted money and the stupid signings proves something’s not right.
I mean Cole and Walker I’ll never understand, what was the point ? Both never given a chance to settle before been shipped out.
We need to recruit wisely and less frequently and every year try and bring a youth player through.
You never know, we might even get a decent young center half come through rather than be looking at an Oldham’s Academy center half player for 500k, another for the future I suppose.
The club needs restructuring, better recruitment, less willy nilly bulk buying, more emphasis on the Academy especially with the facilities we have.
Every year clubs release quite a few kids, we’ve 4 huge Prem clubs on our doorsteps within 20 odd miles either side. I’m sure there’s another Baines or even MacManaman waiting to be given a 2nd chance
