Yeah, but if he doesn't see the ball coming...

I'm just intrigued to know which of the old guard think they've been playing well enough to be sneering at the new recruits. We've been pretty fucking shite throughout the team to be honest.If the amateur psychologists are right and he's an introvert, I'm not sure that some of the crass comments on this forum would be the ideal way to get the best out of him.
And if it's true that any of the senior pros are sneering about the ability of the new recruits, that would be grossly unprofessional and damaging to the team. I suspect it's untrue or massively exaggerated, and if there's a 'mole' putting that kind of stuff around to outsiders, should they even be at the club?
Maybe he’s fuming about being named after a Hungaro-Swedish Sporting Lisbon striker?My child just stares deep into my eyes as if he wants to murder me...

I must of missed that players were sneering at the new players?If the amateur psychologists are right and he's an introvert, I'm not sure that some of the crass comments on this forum would be the ideal way to get the best out of him.

That’s probably correct but only because he didn’t want to sign a new contract to reflect his statusSomeone told me that last year Gyokeres was earning less than our loanees from the Prem clubs….no wonder he sought a bigger remuneration package in the end .
Not sneering apparently, just letting it be known that the quality has dropped.I must of missed that players were sneering at the new players?
If any of the old players are “letting it be known” that the quality has dropped after 7 games they’re as much to blame as the new lads. What a way to build some team spirit…Not sneering apparently, just letting it be known that the quality has dropped.
Very clumsy with the ball, positional sense sporadic…..they’ve had our pants down, they’re laughing all the way to the kebab house. Fingers crossed indeedI’ve not been impressed so far with wright, but it’s very early days let’s not forget he’s from another country and has to get used to the food and living here, and once he’s settled in properly perhaps we will see a better player, fingers crossed.
I mean if this is coming from players who have been here since League 1 or the first Championship season, they all had to develop a lot into the players they currently are. Some short memories there I think.No ones sneering.
Its an opinion of some that have been there years, the quality has dropped, and the quietness and shyness of the group is trying to be rectified by the senior members, only to be rebuffed/ignored/ just not working.
So nearly all the new signings are introverts now? What about Lati and Kitchen and Thomas? They don't seem like that at all to me.

Has it though? Or have we just lost Vik and Gus? Doyle of the loaners maybe too. I would say other than that from what I’ve seen the new guys are better than what’s left. Even if not worth their fees.
Agreed. It’s a longer term play as well…less reliance on loans and looking to develop and improve our own players. I personally would’ve gone for another loan at CM to cover us until Jan/summer when we’ll hopefully spend some hamer cash on a permanent or two, but agree with the overriding vision
As I said fingers crossedFor someone who supposedly can't head a ball and doesn't know where the back of the net is, he gave a fucking brilliant impersonation of someone who does in these clips.
Get off his back and wait until he starts getting a decent supply rather than scraps before writing him off.
I’m not belittling him settling in might take time, but “getting used to the food” did give me a chuckle. Big change going from American to English foodI’ve not been impressed so far with wright, but it’s very early days let’s not forget he’s from another country and has to get used to the food and living here, and once he’s settled in properly perhaps we will see a better player, fingers crossed.
Nah mate, he’s a donkey and lazy and shit. We’ve written him off now so we better boo him out the club before he causes further damage. After all we are the mighty play-off finalists Coventry City and anyone who is any less than premier league quality on their first day should be fired- out of a cannon.For someone who supposedly can't head a ball and doesn't know where the back of the net is, he gave a fucking brilliant impersonation of someone who does in these clips.

Someone who can trap a ball would do thanksNah mate, he’s a donkey and lazy and shit. We’ve written him off now so we better boo him out the club before he causes further damage.

I’d never boo him individually, I can say on a fans forum page he’s shite though
I'm hoping that's what it is, and that he can have an arm around the shoulder and be given time to settle in. I think if the more outgoing lads are trying to almost force him to join in as part of the group then that could be quite damaging. It's not ideal having your main striker and record signing being shy, but we need to find out how to make him feel welcome and able to be himself.To be honest if the problem is that Wright is introverted and might take a bit longer to bring out of his shell then that's fine and better than him just being incapable.

But.....and I hope this comes back to bite me on the arse
There are points where he looks like a Moneyball signing - signed due to his physical rather than footballing attributes. At times he looks like an athlete playing football, not a footballer. Some of his technique has been so poor. His control, running with the ball that doesn't really seem under control, poor technique for shooting. Being offside a lot etc makes you think he's not got the best footballing brain either. Even watching the YouTube highlights, which are supposed to make everyone look a world beater, he didn't look amazing.
He doesn't look like anywhere near a £7.7m player and looks like he's worth 10% of that. I think we could've signed 2-3 better players with that money to give us more strength in depth around the squad. Of course, that's not his fault, it's the recruitment/management team and I cannot fathom out for the life of me how they thought he was worth that kind of outlay.. I can see us spending the next three years trying to get him out on loan to other teams.
Are you a free agent, and what wages would you be looking for?on the play ground/pitch at break times, I could really switch it on.
Need to speak with his agent first.Are you a free agent, and what wages would you be looking for?
He’s clearly capable of finding the back of the net.
To be honest, he’s playing like I used to, whenever I had a run out in the school team; I’d get nervous, self-conscious, and it was like I forgot how to even control the ball, look up for a pass, or dribble the ball properly. Crazy really, as on the play ground/pitch at break times, I could really switch it on. It was all in the mind.
Could all be psychological with Wright; the new challenge, the expectation level, the fee involved, new system etc.
Since I’m out of work at the minute, I’d happily play for food.Are you a free agent, and what wages would you be looking for?
