Yes they're examples of good recruitment but it still doesn't change the fact we're yet again looking at signing players who have been sacked from their clubs, haven't played in ages and aren't match fit.

I lot of these rumours will be based on conversations that the club will have had with agents, who would have been straight on the blower to a journalist friend in order to publicise it and generate interest from other clubs. I can't imaging they'd all come through and we end up with a bunch of players wheezing through games like they are on 40 a day because they are not fit. But who knows? Perhaps we are aiming for that authentic Sunday morning look. The pitch certainly thinks so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get players in who haven't played in ages and aren't match fit. Ibe, Mendez Laing and now this guy. Don't like the strategy to be honest. We're taking gambles on too many of these players It’s fine if we are comfortable in the table and the squad is relatively ok in quality and quantity as you can then take your time with them and integrate them properly.

Rambalin Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 With the exception of Laing these players are fit and training with their clubs. Granted they may not be match fit but fit enough to give us squad depth and build match fitness from the bench. Not all players need a number of matches before be effective in games... Paul McGrath being a case in point in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only one fridge - NFLs William Perry for the Chicago Bears in the 1980s.

But he certainly looks a unit and whilst I don't want a team full of brutes, I always felt we've lacked this kind of CB in the champ. We are tougher atm and not getting so bullied to be fair.
