For whatever anyone said about buying so many players you have to admire the ambition. Clearly come the summer assuming they stay up some will be moved on who haven't been involved enough but they have certainly brought in quality additions.

We'd never be so over bearing to do that to Leuven, we've barely utilised that at all. Not once bought a player from them I don't think which given they are probably better than us now is a farce. They've a couple of interesting young defenders who'd possibly improve us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's bizarre. I suspect the intention was to mirror the Man City model but like you said it's never been utilised. It could have had real benefits to both parties pre-Brexit in bringing in talent from US, South America, Asia, and Africa but the moment they felt a bit of resistance they went all soft and let them dictate the situation even though such an arrangement could have elevated both clubs.

Looks like we might have to go to the Eredivisie for Youri’s replacement, presuming we don’t get relegated of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All intentions seem to have been abandoned. Seagrave was supposed to be a conveyor belt of highly quality youngsters trained by the best coaches in the state of the art facilities and yet we've not invested in the academy to any greater degree than before and its largely all the same coaches. So many coaching staff and analysts seem to have left as well in key roles and not so sure they've been replaced or appropriately replaced. The dreams died half way through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post orangecity23 Posted 17 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 17 January 2023 The real slap in the face was when we played Leuven in pre season and found out that they've got a left footed right winger, doing skills and dribbling and all sorts. The absolute cheek. It's like finding your brother with a face full of Monster Munch after yer Mam has said there's no crisps in the cupboard. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without anyone steering the club we destined for league one.

We're need to hear from the owners ASAP is not fair to let Brendan constantly be the voice of the club when they're keeping him and the fans in the dark. Fully agree that we would be woefully ill equipped to compete in the championship without the club having a serious refresh of the profile and skill set of player needed to be successful. what will be interesting is given our current predictament I sincerely hope our scouting network are looking at players should we survive and alternatives should we get relegated. as for Brendan being kept in the dark, I very much doubt this is the case, he will be fully aware of the clubs situation & circumstances and he is taking every opportunity to spin his narrative and protect his reputation. As fans I understand the frustration and our desire to know what is happening to our beloved club but in reality this is a business that is owned by private investors and therefore the level of sensitive information that is shared with us will be minimal and we have to realise that and as frustrating as it is largely accept it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a monster in Serie A for many seasons, and has the physicality that would work really well over here. He is a short term signing but I think he's a good one for anyone that is in the relegation dogfight and needs a striker. It's true that he's being phased out of Atalanta for a reason, but they have been around the top 4/5 in Serie A for several years, so him stepping down a little bit doesn't mean he's not good, he's just not as good as he was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
