The model is changing. We brought a certain 25 year old (too old for the model??) last summer for £7m who is now worth twice that.
Extreme example, but just saying.
They're also only worth what another club is prepared to pay for them.Players are only worth more than we paid for them if obviously them impress,but also with years left on their contracts. 4 year deals seem the norm at the moment which is great if you plan to sell before it's up, but bad if you sign a lemon
Why would we sign a mentor for one of the league’s best strikers?Why?
He will undoubtedly cost millions and Simms is both younger and better.
I would much rather us sign either another younger prospect to back Simms up or an experienced striker to mentor him.
Because he’s 23 and still has plenty to learn.Why would we sign a mentor for one of the league’s best strikers?
Isn't that what coaching staff are for ?Because he’s 23 and still has plenty to learn.
Exactly which is why this nonsense about sticking rigidly to the model doesn't make sense. You get stuck with a bloated squad as you sell the good ones and are stuck with the ones who don't succeed.Players are only worth more than we paid for them if obviously them impress,but also with years left on their contracts. 4 year deals seem the norm at the moment which is great if you plan to sell before it's up, but bad if you sign a lemon
I am sure that is right. Loans need to be in the mix too as they add flexibility and potential extra quality, especially if they provide for an opportunity for us to sign permanently if they impress.The model will be used for the majority of the signings but not exclusive to what we do. Robins has already aluded to the fact you cant have good players sitting in the stands. You have to have balance and also have a pathway for not only our younger players having a route to being a 1st team starter.
Its just balance and Robins and Adi know this. They don't want numbers for numbers sake, they want everyone to compete and everyone to drive a high standard. The signings will be in more cases then not of players that can play in multiple positions, this adds to keeping numbers down and keeping in competitive. Im happy to sit and wait but i dint think we will know if we are flexible within the model until we see the 1st squad announcement at Stoke.
West Brom don't exactly play an expansive game but they are a very functional unit. In his 2 seasons in the Championship he's finished as their top scorer on both occasions. Also he'll offer more than just goals and something a bit different.
Exactly but I bet a lot of teams say that after a match against West Brom. Winning in that fashion is an art in itself.In my opinion we threw six points away against them last season. They hardly had to break sweat and they were not even that good.

We just passed the ball about slowly, looking for a non existent perfect pass. No tempo just let them sit in deep. No crosses to work the central defenders and force errors.
One of my pet peeves with us is how sluggish our midfield can be at times, and I know I bang on a lot about Eccles but that’s the one thing he does (and others do) that winds me up the most, passing for the sake of passing. He’s great at passing and getting in the way of opposition, I don’t want to understate that, but so many of his passes lack threat or thought, bar the odd moment of brilliance he rarely causes defences problems.
Although it’s not just solely him that does it, Van Ewijk, Bidwell, Allen, Thomas, Sheaf etc do it sometimes too, the whole defence/midfield to attack transition is very slow at times, it’s one area we need to work on as a team.

We are not as slow as England , we don't have a Trippier type playing balls backwards about 99% of the time.The Mighty Sky Blues.
We are England in disguise.

Godden exit should materialise this week. Lots happening behind the scenes. Let's see if there's some movement soon.His international assistant manager has just joined us....
You got more info?Godden exit should materialise this week. Lots happening behind the scenes. Let's see if there's some movement soon.
Godden out BTA inWe will have an outgoing in the next few days and a striker had a medical today, which should be announced maybe end of the week or start of the next
The forum spent so much time arguing about Thomas-Asante it would be pretty standard stuff if it was never him at allGodden out BTA in
Something Hamer did extremely well. We also need forwards who are able to hold the ball when they get it early. Something Vik could do. I am hoping Wright and Simms improve on this this season.One of my pet peeves with us is how sluggish our midfield can be at times, and I know I bang on a lot about Eccles but that’s the one thing he does (and others do) that winds me up the most, passing for the sake of passing.
