A good point and certainly that must be a consideration,however,I'm sure such an obvious agenda would be thrown into the thinking and factored for.I still believe gaining as many opinions and as much information as possible does no harm,the skill is in sorting the facts and the positives.Also, the senior players would have a degree of self-preservation. If you asked Toure if we should sign Pogba, he might say no as it's a direct threat to his position.
Maybe you'd ask your defender as to how good the striker your looking at is. They mark them after all. I'd ask Sergio about a potential CB if I was after a tip. No?Sounds like he is having a bit of a pop at our owner not being around in that article.
Also players involved in player recruitment? Not for me, players play for themselves and they want to be on the pitch as often as possible why would they suggest losing game time to a better player? Maybe it is already helping?
Tixi- "hey Sergio, listen. We are looking for a new forward as we feel a little more competition for places is needed. Any suggestions"
Sergio - "hey Mr Tixi, yeah I know this guy big centre forward yeah he is called Wilf" sniggers....
i was thinking this after all remember what happen in munich when they didn't know that they needed another goal lolHope Pellegrini remembers that he's not available tomorrow.
Wouldn't surprise me if we went out due to fielding an ineligible player.
