New signing?

If he has so much potential,why did Burton let him go ?

 

I would imagine we must have paid a fee due to his age and seeing as he didn't play for Burton in L1 they probably think he's not going to play in the Championship so have got him off their wage bill as they are probably operating on a very tight budget just to hopefully compete at Championship level.

 

More and more I'm getting the impression we've been signing players with the hope they can be developed and sold on for profit rather than signing players we know will get us 'in the top 6' as Norm states is the aim. Hopefully they'll be good enough but we really will have to wait and see, in my view friendlies don't tell you too much.

 

Wonder if this lad is any good at full back, either side, given how thin we are for cover there with Yates and Kiko crocked, especially Yatesy?

This definitely seems like what is happening with some of these signings. They are young and arguably too inexperienced to be pushing for the first team.

We've only got purkiss, kiko and gibbons as recognised full backs. Of those 2 have never played a league match in England. So it'll be interesting to see if Bruno sticks with that or gets some cover in.

Strange signing to me not played many games even though he is highly recomended. We now have 13 midfielders in our squad which is far too many. Smurf said we couldnt aford tysons wages but surely we could have been better off signing tyson and putting this guys wages towards paying his wage even if its 500 pounds a week its something. I think id prefer a signing like tyson a player that can come in and do the business now not another young lad chancer for the future who we no nothing about and probably wont play many games.

Unless Grant going Burton. Smurf is mates with the Burton Chairman.

The other week I was working and the only way I could keep upto date with the Kidsgrove v Vale score was listen to the Burton v Stoke game. Matt Sandoz reckoned Burton had signed a player for £500k. How the hell can they afford that.

 

Because the Championship tv money has gone up to 7m this season.

Amazing how we sign a potentially decent 20 year old from the same league as us last season and he gets questioned, yet unknown foreign players from less competitive leagues get welcomed in with open arms as though they are superstars.

 

Normans got into your heads.

Think logically.

Because now we have cover for Grant / Brown for prob peanuts of a weekly wage. (Burton wouldn't of paid much), and a future sell on fee.

Tyson would of prob wanted a hell of a lot more for no future profit as he's nearly 105.

Smurf isn't as daft as some think.
