Colinjb Posted 19 January, 2013 Share Posted 19 January, 2013 Bram Nuytinck Finally our mystery desired centre back from the summer has a name. Interesting that it claims our lack of recruitment between the sticks was down to Adkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 19 January, 2013 Share Posted 19 January, 2013 "Cortese is understood to want new boss Mauricio Pochettino to form a transfer committee, with himself, head of football development Les Reed and head of recruitment Paul Mitchell."

MongoNeil Posted 19 January, 2013 Share Posted 19 January, 2013 Makes some sense and adds credence to some of the rumours on here.

St Chalet Posted 19 January, 2013 Share Posted 19 January, 2013 Cortese tried to sign Theo Walcott. Shocking behaviour. And a goalkeeper, what a ******!

The Kraken Posted 19 January, 2013 Share Posted 19 January, 2013 No no no!! It was the committee. Adkins agreed to them all and knew about them all. Yep. Despite approaching another manager to replace him in the summer, and despite our current manager having been approached weeks ago, Nigel Adkins had full control over our transfer policy. Of course he did. Or at least Frankie's cousin and his pals would probably try and still cling to. Glad the truth is finally out, even for those who never wanted to see.

So I assume you're talking about Gazzaniga? Why did they let him sign a million-plus goalkeeper then if "the committee" disagreed with it so much? Weird.

Colinjb Posted 19 January, 2013 Share Posted 19 January, 2013 The article implies NC wanted us to sign a keeper. Yep. It was Adkins' getting it wrong on that occasion.

Please.. at least get your facts straight, I dont think you will find any post of mine where I say Nigel is in full control of transfers... If the content of this article is accurate, then teh level of disconnect between Nigel and NC on this is surprizing, but NIge not wanting a keeper seems a bit of a mistake...

The Kraken Posted 19 January, 2013 Share Posted 19 January, 2013 The article implies NC wanted us to sign a keeper. And we did. Three, in fact, over the summer.

So Adkins didn't want to replace Davis and Cortese did. However, we still needed to buy a backup keeper, gazza, as we'd let Bart go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe when you have RA in your hands your typing may get worse too... So do you believe the article or not - clearly states a 'TOP CLASS' keeper that NA did NOT want to sign - its either correct or made up... or do you just want to pick and choose which bits add up to support your version?

I just wonder why Cortese is said to have disagreed with Adkins refusal to sign a top keeper yet sanctioned a million pound plus agreement for a keeper. Especially so when £12M Ramirez and this latest Norwegian clearly had minimal imput from the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
