It’s equally premature with EMC and BTA, they’ve played almost exactly the same number of minutes. Why deliver a verdict on one and not the other?
Well yes, that's why we got rid of the manager. Certain players look immediately better for it tbh but we've done that to death and certain people won't accept it so whats the point.
I'm not going to go into all this as i think you've taken us off track. We're talking about the players as individuals, the ones we've paid money for and you suggesting they were overpriced. When you look at the players as individuals vs other players that have come into the league for a fee have we been massively ripped off vs other clubs? I've posted it all above and people can come to their own conclusions.
Simms is probably the weirdest player we own. Just want to prod him with a stick and say "be good again."
I think give him a consecutive run of games he will be much better. Problem is this season he’s been chopped and changed so many times.
I thought it was premature to be making these kinds of judgments?
You're arguing something completely different again. Individual players mate, that's what we're talking about. Are the costs of certain individuals that you seem to think are overpriced particularly better/worse than other teams in the league? Above I've pasted all players that cost money that came into The Championship.
Probably, all transfer fees are inflated nowadays. We paid in and around £1 million for another teams fringe striker in L1 (Chaplin).
Its filtering down. Championship clubs ask big money for their better players these days so when they come shopping in league 1 and lesser known foreign leagues, those teams will want their slice of the pie.
You're completely avoiding what we're talking about, presumably on purpose. The fact we stupidly left ourselves short in a couple of areas has nothing to do with the overall quality of player and using the occasional miss like Liam Kitching as a stick to beat all signings with is strange.
And yet he has the same amount of minutes as Ephron!
Another raid on Peterborough for Poku? Turns out those League 1 wingers aren't all that bad if you give them a chance.
That's already been resolved, Raphael is his backup and Fabio has also played there for us. The fact Raphael has been injured is just one of those unfortunate things that has to be endured.
We had no senior striker cover when we signed him - the deal made total sense at the time in isolation.
Tbh we know nothing about Raphael and whether he'll even get close to the standard required. He was a punt that cost peanuts.
Quality player. I did check up on him when he just came back to my mind though and he's out for 3 months.
We're arguing different points though. I think most the players we've signed are good and i very much disagree on Torp, quality player imo.
From all accounts Raphael was nowhere near ready to play regularly in the Championship, injury or not. And Tavares has barely played in the league.
Exactly, let’s be honest, the fees we got for Vik and Hamer were inflated by historical standards, particularly as they both had 12 months on their contract.
Yeh quite. Everyone wants the next Vik and Hamer but its not that easy is it, otherwise everyone would be at it. There's a huge element of luck involved too.
You have got the meaning back to front lad, you hoped the injury was less serious than it was so it was worse than you'd hoped for."Worse than you hope for"
Don't know how you got their idea, don't wish any player to have a worse injury
Agreed, it was a compliment.
