gurru991 Posted 7 August Share Posted 7 August (edited) I feel that our immediate need is an attacking mid & a striker. Skipp is extremely average & really doesn't make us better. Edited 7 August by gurru991 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean with regards to the player himself. It of course makes no sense (or maybe it does make sense in context of it being Leicester/Rudkin) that we are having to buy a player our owners have already owned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 7 August Share Posted 7 August Just wish we had an ounce of creativity with scouting and took calculated risks for smaller amounts of money as opposed to knowingly buying expensive tripe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what happened, we took chances on Mads, Mavididi and Fatawu last season for a combine of maybe £12-13m depending on what the loan fee for Fatawu was Edited 7 August by UniFox21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipp is PL proven in the same way Luke Thomas is PL proven. He has quite a few PL apps under his belt but this is not his level, the championship is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmcla26 Posted 7 August Share Posted 7 August I’d like Skipp in the sense that I’d trust him more next to Ndidi or Winks (should one of them be out) than Soumare or Hamza. I think he’d expect to start for us, though, and don’t like the idea of a midfield 3 of Skipp, Winks and Ndidi. No attacking threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was far too slow for the championship, let alone the premier. A stupid re-signing that will come to haunt us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Glover is a bit under rated in that regard. Mavididi, Fatawu, Hermansen were all pretty left field. And by all accounts it looks like this year we've scouted and shown legitimate interest in Richard Rios, Ramon Sosa, Mathias Soulé etc. But supposedly the manager wants us to focus on targets with more domestic, preferably Premier League experience. I'm guessing a lot of these are targets we scouted with Enzo in mind and now there's a mix going on of we can't afford them and Cooper isn't keen. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stupid re-signing that will come to haunt us. One year extension would have been ok in my opinion. He lost his legs under Brenda but we saw a different player repurposed to may offensive runs under Enzo which gives me a bit of hope that he's not just a one trick pony as a DM. Cooper should see that and use him accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the flip flop of "oh yeah I'm such a genius coach I want broken players because I can fix them" so the club gives him exactly what he wants so he cries that we've got too many young players that need coaching.

Chrysalis Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August Gone through all the tier 1 threads and seems like most of our targets are from other EPL teams, seems scouting has gone to crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
