Recruitment is absolutely the cause of our appalling state - it goes without saying that we've not spent our money wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, given our financial difficulties, if our relationship was good with Frank or Chelsea and they were willing to do us favours, we would have 4 Chelsea loans lined up by now. Just my opinion but I think we would be 1 of the last clubs to get a player on loan from Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 There's a lot of footballers in the world. A lot. Our squad currently is woefully short. Yet our recruitment team can't find one player that will improve us. Pinning their hopes on one and waiting all window to find out it's not possible.

Recruitment is absolutely the cause of our appalling state - it goes without saying that we've not spent our money wisely. The spree of 15/16 was shocking and started this mess but I don’t think recruitments been that bad since. Pearson was gonna try and turn us into a pacey 4-4-2 team so in that context Anya, Wilson and Vydra weren’t bad signings. Nugent was a weird one but McClaren seemed to want a forward who could link. Rowett built a side whilst making a net profit - to do so we had to go for older players as they were cheaper. And we’ve been skint ever since. The change in managerial approach time after time is the ultimate problem. Hire a footballing manager after Wassall and start clearing out some of 15/16’s mess and we’re on the right lines. Instead we gave it Pearson and he made things worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the Stoke game tomorrow is very convenient for the club. They will say "we tried to get deals over the line, but with the game it left us little time to get them done, we tried, we will go with what we have got" Something along those lines anyway.

No-one who has to be directly involved in the game has to be directly involved in a transfer deal. If Cocu was expecting him at the start of the month (assuming its the same target), he gave his OK on the deal back then. Then its in the hands of folks negotiating with the other team and then the player, neither of those jobs will be done by any of the coaching staff.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 @David, is it possible for a user to mute the term 'recruitment team' on the forum? It's been so boring seeing the same sort of post going round and round for the past month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I don’t really get why we are all worried about signings. The squad is short, that is absolutely correct. But we’re not going up or down, so what would be the point in rushing into inflated deals or paying loan fees for players? Is Ibe going to be the next player that people use as a stick to bash our recruitment team with? Have a think why he is being bombed out of Bournemouth. If he’d never played for us before we would be asking why we’re going after out of favour PL players with attitude problems! It’s completely ridiculous how worked up people get over transfer windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Just imagine if we do end up getting a transfer embargo next season. The common theme is, 'let Cocu get his own players in and then judge him,' but at this rate he's going to end up stuck with this bunch (minus Clarke, Hamer, probably Bogle and any whose contracts expire) for another 1 to 2 years.

DCFC1388 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Morrison able to leave Sheff Utd, would be a class signing at this level imo Unless he goes Forest, he is an awful player then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atherstoneram Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 According to Derbyshire Live we are considering a late move for Northampton Town goalie David Cornell, also being watched by Blackburn and Ipswich. Tha Athletic also stating we are to make a late swoop for French World Cup defender Adil Rami who wants away from Fenerbahce after making only 2 appearences this season, may be something in this?

Rample Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Ibe with the possibility of a free in the summer would be a great coup for us. No way he'll get an extension there. Surprised he's 24. Anyone know if he's friendly with Wizzy or anyone? Not sure if that would help or hinder. Can someone nudge Mel over this? Ibe, Ince and a centre half in by tomorrow is my new dream, although at the moment hoping for one untested youth player feels like setting myself up for disappointment.
