Recruitment has been shocking (6 Viewers)

£8-9m is a lot of money, given his modest carer record before us.

It was £7.7m. And he's been here a season now, we've seen what he can do. To me he's clearly worth at least what we paid and probably more.

I think we'd get more than we paid for him if we were to sell. Unless we were relegated and needed a fire sale to survive.

Not many championship clubs dropping £10m on a striker TBF

Only Championship clubs in the transfer market?

Well you saw how hard it was to offload Vik to the PL. I’m no sure at his age and record who would have him, maybe a promoted club.

Reckon he'd do ok somewhere like Germany perhaps, he seems to have no issue moving countries pretty regularly. Maybe even back to Turkey with one of the bigger teams.

To be fair you will of course get hits and misses regardless of how much scouting you can do.

Badlan you can argue found us Hamer but also found us Dacosta, The German winger, and Waghorn.

Even Gyok is a funny one, since it sounds like not everyone of the coaching wanted him and Robins drove that one himself.

Think the players we’ve signed are decent mostly and some really good. But think the lack of experience is hurting a few of them in there development.

If I’m Doug, I talk to my recruitment team about allowing a spine of older players with leadership capabilities to come in to help develop the younger lads, even offer a pathway to coaching if that’s what they want.

For example if we carry on with a back three we’ll need an experienced CB who can read the game and pick a pass. Wouldn’t mind Santos from Bolton if we would want to keep wages down. But there must be some premiership players on there way down we could start to target.

Another L1 defender? Hmmmm.

…though persuading the owner you need another centre back after the one you spent £4m on a year ago to be your leader can’t get in the team might be easier said than done.

Same one we were chasing all through the window.



Moan about leadership but he's on the bench?

Understand the point but it’s just a relatively cheap 6ft 4 ball playing centreback. If we’re going to play in a back three think we could do worse

If we’re going to a back three might as well resign Fadz

We had a set up that seemed to be able to develop players turning some of them into world beaters. Still relatively early days, but some players seem to be going backwards in their development.
