norfolkngood 1,086 Posted September 2, 2015 not fickle at all ,I dont think scouts have done well at all this summer I dont think our football board is good enough I dont think our academy is good enough that''s my opinion and I am not fickle as I stick by that its my opinion and you have yours I agreeded about what you said BUT still far from happy about the summers work by football board and scouts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted September 2, 2015 It''s tempting to call for a clear out, but it is clear that they looked/inquired in the cases of many players, so they obviously worked through a list of recommendations. They also made bids, in a few cases more than one, for a number of players.All this is from other clubs and from journalists. I have no doubt that they looked, and in the case of the Italian CB seemed to have gone to some trouble.Why then have we finished so disappointingly?1) Prudence - were not willing to pay the very high prices demand by other clubs or wages by players.2) Other clubs were unwilling to sell - by the end of the window they did not want to part with important players whom they would not have time to replace, or were rivals to us.3) There are indications that a few players chose not to come to us, whether because of our wage structure, lack of ambition, geographical remoteness, or other factors. We had agreement with their club, but the players turned us down.Which of these factors were more important or more common, I do not know, although to judge from the past Prudence dictated that we had among the lowest average wages in the Premiership.
