The squad was dreadful hence Robins clearing most of it out and we didn't get much return on it either, Jones is the only exception
Thata defintley your opinion
Not mine.
On a free?He’s signing for Northampton
RobinsWhat would you say was the one significant fact that made our results improve?
Poor yes. Not 15pts off surivoval or ehatever it was st endThe squad was poor. Poor recruitment in the summer was the start of our downfall that season.
Seems so and we get future sell on fee. A good deal as wages now goneOn a free?
Is there a link? Or just rumour?Seems so and we get future sell on fee. A good deal as wages now gone
Robins
Even end of season when we lost games we put up a fight and looked more likely
Poor yes. Not 15pts off surivoval or ehatever it was st end
He came in with us 1 pt from safety or something remember! The squad didnt become worse january onwards! And if it did thats on slade even more!
Is there a link? Or just rumour?
On a serious note, I know that the age of 22 or 23 is significant for development fees (I know the rules differ in England and Scotland). Would we be entitled to any development fee due to his spell with us?
Is it decent reliable ones though or just the usual pretend football agents?
I think you'll find a deal is all but sealed and they're simply dotting the i's and crossing the t's now. Bet it is finalised this time next week.Nothing official, but there must be something in it for the recall to have been instigated. I’ll drive him down if it gets him off our books
Wow!!This on the Partick Thistle site
I haven't got a calculator at the mo. What's 50% of £1.37?I believe Southampton had a 50% sell on fee anyway. So a free transfer won't make
Too much of a difference to us
£2.20I haven't got a calculator at the mo. What's 50% of £1.37?
The signing of Jordan Turnbull epitomises the summer window of 2016.
Cuts we allegedly made to the budget so things are tight, our formerly beloved Tony has a chat with Romain Vincelot and they decide Bradford is for him and he moves on and is sold for a fraction of what we've likely given Southampton for this bright star who's already cut his teeth in 2 seasons at Swindon.
It questions why this season we signed 10 plus players on a free this summer who look capable of playing at a higher level yet that summer we struggled to get anyone of note in over looking all other players moving around the division on free's.
Yet when the budget is tight we're paying a fee for Turnbull.

Stop apeing about. No monkey business here please.2 bananas
I'd take a swap deal for a bag of RevelsI'd take a swap deal for Alex Revell and no sell on fees or extras.
Just send Alex Revell
Completely agreed. Mowbray's transfer policy for us was generally quite bad for us and in hindsight, us and Mowbray wasn't a good fit - he's far too used to working with teams with large budgets. In his first full season, he secured some really good loans, however, more or less all of his permanent signings haven't worked out, with the exception of Jodi Jones, who's only really started to perform now we're in L2 (in fairness, signed as a 17yr old so evidently signed as a development player).
In contrast, Robins has set out to build a core of experienced professionals in important positions permanently - so if this season doesn't go to plan, with all the setbacks we've had, we can go fine tune and go again in 18/19. Look at the loans we've just signed - they're adding to what we've got or replacing injured players. MR has been really efficient with his resources and I'll say it again, credit to all involved. Mowbray was really inefficient with his budget, cuts or no cuts.
He did well the 1st summer with loans
Not well 2nd summer
Did well with black burn this summer
1 off? 66% good summer recoed in last 3 years?
Maybe it was budget. Maybe it was scouting network. Doesnt seem to be a huge issue with him tho.
He did very well the first summer, or slightly lucky with the quality at his disposal? Either way he got some high class kids in with a lot of potential, which clicked. Some great football, fantastic wins and gave us a rare feel good factor till it dried up before xmas.
2nd summer... epic fail. Chased the wrong types, we sat still too long when other sides signed up the best of the free transfers.
I'd still question his scouting abilities now to a degree. He's using the scouting files from 2015-2016 tho it's paying off and he's got them playing but has that big budget he needs and works very well with.
Reality is L1 wheeler dealing isn't his level, he's a championship man buying and working with quality. Something we couldn't offer.
We would not have paid a fee for him with a 50% sell on clause?I believe Southampton had a 50% sell on fee anyway. So a free transfer won't make
