To be fair, there are some quality players - to buy or get in on loan - that you can attract to L1...Brentford got Prtichard from Spurs, and Pennington, Ward and Samuel were a cut above anything I saw in L1.I'll have a pint of what your drinking please
Not saying TM won't attract better players than what we have got. I think because of the statue of the manager he can attract better known players but we all know it will come down to wages and if we can afford the players TM wantsTo be fair, there are some quality players - to buy or get in on loan - that you can attract to L1...Brentford got Prtichard from Spurs, and Pennington, Ward and Samuel were a cut above anything I saw in L1.
A good scouting system can get you some above standard players for this sh1tty standard...oh hold on, we haven't got a scouting system :facepalm:
It is in this area that I think TM is most significant...he will put the structure in place which SP failed to do...and what partly led to his downfall...
Do you think PL clubs cover the wages of their players out on loan?
I mean someone like Pennington will be on say, £3-5k a week. Will that bother Everton? Will they cover that?
I remember Alan Smith being loaned by Man U to MK Dons a few years ago, and as he was on £50k a week, Man U paid £48k of his wages.

I know what you are saying but I feel that is why TM played the so called big name players we have here. I still feel TM will have a list like all managers and in that will be some key experienced players that he has worked with before. A mix of our youth team and his own signingsBetter known played doesn't necessarily make them better players. We need to move away from signing players based on what they did 2-3+ years ago. We signed names this season - Pugh, Jackson, madine, nouble, Tudguy, Swanson, for e.g, and in the end the best signings were Samuels, ward, Pennington, and stokes (based on low expectations).

TBF on my one and only visit to Sixfields last season I happened to sit behind a young lad who claimed to be a cousin of young Grealish at VillaTo be fair I wouldn't be surprised to find out Pennington was on a lot less than that. Maybe 1/2k. He's out of the youth team when he signed his first contract and with no first team appearances at Everton plus I think his contract may be up this summer. If Everton do renew his contract, on improved wages, I think we have a chance of getting him back with a percentage of the wages covered.

He told me he was on £11K as an 18 yr old there, so I'd guess Pennington Is on decent dollar at the Toffees
Would take Davies and Lonergan, can see Mills staying in the Championship and Beckford going to Preston.
Every club Mills has played for they've released him, he is shit. He belongs in League Two, or America.
Would take Beckford all day in that list he's a quality player at league one levelSome decent players released by Bolton
Championship side Bolton have released 13 players but offered new contracts to four players.
Jermaine Beckford, Matt Mills, Craig Davies, Andrew Lonergan and Keith Andrews will all leave the club.

Ok then. Reading signed Mills for £2 million and he went on to captain them to a play-off final. Leicester then paid a fee for him, as did Bolton. As things stand it looks like Forest are in for him. So yeah he belongs in League Two, or America.
No they haven't, Reading paid about 1 million to get him from Doncaster and Leicester paid about 4 million to get him from Reading
Bollocks, I even remember the clown sven paying £5ill for him and selling him 28 games later..
Even Bigirmana showed him up, that says it all.
Just because Forest want him, doesn't make him any better. They fail with every signing in the past 5 years.
Released/got rid/sold.
He's a poor player. Thats all.
He's a solid Championship standard centre half.
Are you on crack?
Not going to argue over an opinion of a shit player... you're welcome to your own.
He's not shit, any League one club would be privileged to have him.
Heard it all now...
You his agent? He's need a fucking job soon...
Released/got rid/sold.
He's a poor player. Thats all.
Did Mr Mills bang your missus or something?
Wish he did, I could do with the settlement..
Yea clearly Doncaster and Reading wanted to sell him, explains why they got such good money for him.
We sold Wilson therefore he is a poor player, that is your level of logic here.
