Dr Greenthumb 750 Posted November 7, 2023 Is this the “South American scouting” we were told was ongoing? The two scouts out there are having a right old jolly. When was the last signing from there? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm no fan of Webber, completely the opposite, but I am sure if you were on a business trip, and had the opportunity to take in an event that particularly interested you, you would consider it grossly unfair if you were told that you could not go because you had to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want him out like most others but not sure there's anything to see here really. I like Webber, but come on, this is not what he should be doing whilst still at work. He’s acting like he’s gone, he needs to go. back to my point though, the scouting in South America is starting to seem pointless. One u21 loan in the last 16 months seems a bit pointless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminally Yellow 2,481 Posted November 7, 2023 No issue with him being at the F1 while on a scouting trip. Do have an issue with him being in Brazil while the club is imploding though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's been playing regularly for the U23s, although I'm not sure how well he's been playing. He's a DM, so it makes sense for us to take a look at him and see if he's worth taking on permanently.

shefcanary 2,465 Posted November 7, 2023 Webber has stated his next job will not be in football. I can see him getting work in F1, I wasn't being entirely sarcastic when I said he was after Toto Wolf's job in another thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's already given us Sara, who will clearly be able to he sold for a large profit. Nuñez is talented and didn't cost us much, could still be quality for us under a new manager/system.

Sara is a brilliant bit of business. Nunez is a frustrating player to watch. Also, how much time do we give him to start producing? For where he plays, he isn’t creating or scoring much.

king canary 7,679 Posted November 7, 2023 I'll be honest I'd rather he was at a Grand Prix than scouting. I've got no desire to have him putting wheels in motion for signings in Jan that the new SD might not want. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Holt 522 Posted November 7, 2023 The fact that our outgoing SD is going on these trips is insane. He’s potentially making decisions for our future recruitment knowing he won’t be here in probably one month’s time. not great optics given that he’s been at Man United and the Brazilian GP in the last few days yet hasn’t been at Carrow Road. The naivety of the Stowmarket two really is something to behold. They’ve been milked and I think they know it deep down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
