brady1993 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 3 hours ago, David said: Worth remembering the reasons behind Johnson and Butterfield signing was the long term injuries to Bryson and Hughes, had we not signed them your left with just Hendrick and Thorne. Panic? Probably but then you don't really prepare to lose 2 CM's for that length of time in the first month of the season, had it not been these 2 they would still fall under the panic buy category. Johnson was clearly a panic buy because a modicum of scouting would have been able to tell you he wasn't going to be suited to the possession based system Clement was building.

Somebody really did deserve the sack for that signing. What truly annoys me about this one is that it was easy to know he wasn't going to fit. One look at his passing accuracy at Norwich is all you needed to know to not buy him for a possession based system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 panic ˈpanɪk/noun sudden uncontrollable fear or anxiety, often causing wildly unthinking behaviour. Based on that definition, could argue that any/all of Johnson vydra anya and blackman fit the description. Have to intelligently guess what the fear might have been of .....

Ken Tram Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Panic buying is buying something in a panic! Anyway, didn't we buy half the players from a management syndicate or something, so it wasn't panic buying? When I panic buy something it is usually down to time pressure, or a fear of missing out on a good buy/ deal. Buying something more quickly than I feel comfortable doing. Perhaps an unplanned purchase. Does that definition also apply to buying football players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazloW Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The phrase 'panic buy' seems only to be used in a derogatory or negative sense. There must be examples out there of players bought on deadline day, or as a reaction to an event (e.g. your central midfield being decimated in one match), who have turned out to be excellent signings. Buying somebody on deadline day doesn't automatically qualify somebody to be a panic buy and, to be honest, a lot of us (me included) love to see signings being made - part of the interest - and while I'd do away with transfer windows and go back to the old system of being able to carry out transfers for most of the season, I quite like the potential to be signing somebody today even if we have already signed five players; panic buy or not.

If so what kind of fee would be classed as a panic buy? Or is it down to us never being linked until last minute? Or just something else? If we got Jota for 6m would it be a panic buy or only if we paid 8m? Is there such a thing as panic selling as well? Selling players under value juat to reduce squad size? Panic selling .... brilliant, want to hear this being used today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
