We could have kept Mrs Ince on, what good at this level is someone who relies on money and pulling power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EraniosSocks Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Jordan Jones? We was linked with him I think in the summer, or previous maybe under frank. Just been reading through sky and Rangers are looking to send him on loan with a few championship/league one clubs interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the DCFC historical connection you think Clough Jnr is\was a bigger name in the football world than Cocu?? I think not .... all down to ones opinion Roy and like I say time will tell ....

On the world stage I would say a far bigger name ......not in terms of trophies won but internationally a bigger profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to his father in law on Monday that he is the type of player we need to be signing. He laughed at me. Signed a new long term contract with Wolves in the summer.

Footymum2017 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 14 hours ago, gccrowdpleaser said: The fact that 'player recruitment' is often cited for the faceless people there means we actually have no real clue who is in player recruitment department. It may be that it's altered which in turn takes time to build targets and pictures thus rushing something in this window is not ideal. If you can't get first and second choices then in my opinion bringing nobody in is a better option tha ln saddling us with a contract. I'd rather we prepared to do business early in the summer and gave them a full preseason together. I thought Joe McClaren (son of Steve) was Chief Scout, is that not the case?

Sparkle Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Whilst many on here constantly criticise our recruitment people it’s worth noting that after identifying players we may want there is the very real reality that we have to agree a transfer from another club and all the costs of that which can be very expensive especially in January but then we have to agree wages and we have clearly returned to reality since we no longer employ Sam Rush so we are not that attractive in wage terms so players are more likely not to sign for us. the summer window is where we need to be working on intensely and probably in the free agent market as the loan market seems to be spiralling in expense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
