Diallo is as a nuisance, but a massive MASSIVE step down in quality from Lavia, particularly in terms of keeping what tiny percentage of possession we have in game these days. Hjulmand, a winger and a striker on loan is the absolute best we can expect at this point, which means it's almost certain that none of those will happen. But eh, at least we managed to add a right back with the worst passing stats in the championship to the squad. I do get you but Lavia jwp and Alcaraz should be the starting 3 . So it means wasting transfer budget on someone to cover Lavia for 30 mins a match , when diallo is capable of doing that and tbh we don’t even know if he’s better then diallo until we sign him.. Cm is our strongest position currently.. but we have absolutely sod all in the terms of centre forward.. I want the budget spent there and if we have to add anyone else a upgrade on bazunu would be next on my list these are the two positions affecting our results not centre midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 27 January, 2023 Share Posted 27 January, 2023 Managers have little to no input in signings now. As was said above, people higher up make the signings, not the manager. Every so often you get that token gesture (James Bree) in Nathan Jones’ case. He’s probably never seen Orsic play, or Sulemana, or Hojlund, or Alcaraz etc. 😅 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows how transfers work these days. Jones has described it himself. The manager lays out the attributes he is after, then the scouting team present some options and they decide which to go for. Obviously the manager can provide his own options, as he will have done with Bree, but managers don't spend time scouting like they used to - especially with so many players coming from abroad. They are reliant on scouting teams. That's the same everywhere. Are all Prem managers yes men? Of course not. And neither is Jones. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Gifford Posted 27 January, 2023 Share Posted 27 January, 2023 Problem is, there is this massive roundabout of managers and players that make it on to the 92 top table. They all go round and round the clubs spouting this spouting that, jobs for the boys. Get a great contract for three years or so. It takes a brave DOF, Chairperson or owner that says let’s look outside the fishbowl. There is so much talent in non league both managerial and particularly players that could make a difference. Too late for us now this season I fear to nurture and develop like we used to do. I’ve not given up yet , because I still think there are two teams that aren’t as good as us that will go down, I can’t see us being the third providing we give someone a chance.

S-Clarke Posted 27 January, 2023 Share Posted 27 January, 2023 (edited) Yeah, this is Brighton hitting the same glass ceiling we did. There's no real way beyond that for clubs like us, the good players we have will always do the above if we try to stand firm. They're enjoying their moment as we enjoyed our moment, but this is why being competitive in the top half in this league for more than a fleeting period for clubs without major, major backing is pretty much impossible.
