Yes and Dabo was absolutely quality as were O'hare, Walsh, Godden, Rose, McFadz and Allen. Far far more successes in terms of recruitment than failures that's for sure.

I was listing the two players we signed who had never played in the UK. I think you have to go back to Aron Gunnarsson in 2008 to the last one who was a success

Not true, Denzel Slager was quality.

The last defensive midfielder/ right back we signed/stole from Holland did pretty well for us

maybe MR has been told in secret we're going up and we get some money for promotion? plus we have the money from Norwich for McCallum

One bad signing out of how many and you write off the recruitment team!?

Yeah they also signed Dabo. Unfair to write Jobello off after 10 games

The fans of Kastaneer's old club, may have been Twente I can't quite remember, were pretty derogatory about his attitude when he left them.

I liked the look of Jobello- excited to see him play again

I feel like Jobello was really starting to grow into it after an average start.
Kastaneer felt like an out of the blue signing based on Badlan's comments about him being well above our level and having scouted him years previous.

Yep, and arguably we created more chances when Jobello was in the team.

Don't think he'd fit into the system we now play.

Nothing at all so far
Mind you all I heard about Kasta was that we were looking at 'a big Dutch lad' so it wouldn't surprise me if there is something in this
On the other hand it might be his agent trying to drum up interest from other clubs

Seems more likely really as I find it hard to believe we'd spend £1 million+ on such a player unless Dabo was off for a big fee, which also seems unlikely in the current climate.

Just because I want to believe this rather than I actually believe this, but:
When Sisu first came there was a definite strategy of paying decent money (for us, at the time) for young players with potential. Problem was we then got Chris Coleman to manage them, but those first few of Dann, Fox, Westwood were a definite strategy. Then everything went to tits.
What if now we’re back (touch wood) and have a manager who has proven himself and Joy is directly involved, there’s a chance for some money to spend (on sensible signings for the level, that have a potential for a decent return)?
We know the owners aren’t short of cash even if the club are.
Host of questions about finances and sustainability and the like. But what if?

We have been doing this for a while haven’t we just with smaller fees? Chaplin, Bakayoko, Allassani? It’s the same strategy

This is exactly what I was thinking- added to the cryptic tweets from various players this suggests we have some very good news coming our way soon

Exactly. People were surprised at what we spent when we came up to L1, everyone assumed we’d be feeding on scraps and rejects. As I say maybe more hope than expectation, but wouldn’t be surprised to see us spend a bit more than people think on the right players.

Is it realistic, given the current situation, for any club (let alone us) to be offering 7 figure fees for relatively unknown players?
Does anyone know what the market will look like in 2 months’ time, let alone now?
Surely it’s agents trying to pump up the interest / fee. Just can’t see us chucking £1.5m at a player that might be the next Kastaneer.

I agree. Perhaps we made our interest known before Covid and it’s only just being reported now as a recent development?
