Once you accept that, the deals make a lot more sense. We signed better players than these 3 in the Championship 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July This seems like smart business to me. As long as contract length isn't crazy then I'm happy with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoldenGod Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Just now, GingerrrFox said: His wages and sign on fee won’t be cheap. It’s a poor signing because that money could be utilised elsewhere for a player with resale value and a higher ceiling. I mean there's no basis to suggest this yet. We have a relatively young squad all being said with probably a few of our academy players coming through. We've lost a fair few to contract expiration and KDH sold, we need a squad!

Foxy_jim Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July I like this. Free signing with premier experience, who works hard and can play in a number of positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than spending 10/15 million on a squad player to sit on the bench.. which we can use on getting a starter in instead.

Got to cut our cloth accordingly. Also Fatawu, mavididi, hermansen Akgun, all relatively unknown quantities. Easy in hindsight to say they were better signings. Written off our business before we've even started clearly :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Just now, Reginaldo said: 32 in 6 months time Yeah that's a bit of an issue. He had a very good season last time round though, if he stayed with us if we went down he's proven down in the Championship too. Both signings we've made speak fluent English. I think Cooper is going to try and create a siege mentality and relationship between fans and players based on getting what it takes to play in England / Premier League. The last signing we made like this was Bertrand, who was a disaster. So we need to be weary. However, Bertrand came to us off the tail end of his career, whereas this guy is in much better form. Both signings so far feel a bit weird though. Get used to digging in and trying to nick something all season long... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Leeds Fox Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July No issue with this as long as wages aren’t mental. Has played a bit as a wing back too if I remember rightly. Adds a bit of PL experience which will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryy Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July He’s gives me Okazaki vibes, don’t necessarily score much but works hard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfcokay Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July I wouldn’t moan too much. He played the equivalent of 15 90 min games last season. Scoring 6 and assisting 2. More than a goal contribution every other game. as long as he’s coming in as a squad player and not to start every week. And we haven’t offered him a stupid contract at 31 I can’t see what’s bad about it. Plus he’s FREE! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syston_fox Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Free transfer, good experience and fills a gap in the squad. Happy with that to be honest and also if we can't stay up, the type of player who I would expect to hang around next year in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July I'm going to but my tongue as this time last year we started our transfer business with PL experience that on the surface looked like we were shelling out with minimal upscale. Reid is alright, he'll do a job but it is a bit of a crash down to earth. Maybe Alan Nixon was right 😂😂😂 If it's just a 2 year deal on modest wages then fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafewayFox Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July With Jannik’s 3 year deal and this….I genuinely hope we’ve grown a pair and put in place a much more modest wage structure. If either are on north of £50,000 p.w then we deserve any PSR issues coming our way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyshireFox Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July A steady Eddie sort of signing. Feels like an Albrighton/Okazaki type of move. Works hard, team player, hopefully the sort of attitude we need. We are going to need some experience, and on a free, this is a good move for me. Everyone is baying for signings, and as usual, when they start to come, everyone moans about them. We are fishing in very different waters nowadays. We need a blend of talented young players, with some experience to help them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to have to take a few on a free, solid player, who can play both sides and centre. Give us competition for both Mav and Fatawu. Could be this season Winks who was wrote off as a poor signing by many.... Edited 5 July by coolhandfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably being naive here and giving the board a modicum of credit that they probably don't even deserve, but surely they're aware now that we cannot be giving out big wages anymore....surely!
