Ffs, chasing every player you could name at the minute, it really is laughable how many players the desperate rag media are pulling out of thin air. Saying that, I still expect them to spunk another 100-150m in the last week of the window out of sheer panic and desperation, and to keep the rag sheep sweet until a few more defeats, pmsl

Fair point (and I can see why you made it, I you only read the post you quoted) but a moot one, all the same.
My original point was the person in charge of Brighton's recruitment was/is excellent at his job and would have been a positive addition to us (and is what United need above anything else right now).

Different job altogether. They have to gamble and take a risk. We can afford to pay a premium for others to take that gamble and compensate them for taking that risk

Excitablesort, aren'tyou?
If it makes you feel better you're right. I'm wrong. My bad. Our scouting system is perfect.
Now bore somebody else please.

Lol. Yes, very excitable

Apologies if I’ve wound you up in some way fella, all I’ve done is question why you want us to sign Dan Ashworth

Thought that was kinda the idea of an open forum no?

I’ll bore off & leave you alone now. Enjoy your evening & apologies once again :)
 
I suspect we will see them spunking some serious wonga in the coming days as they need to appease the rabble before Monday's game against the dippers.
 
It’s just the very best times.
Not only are we seeing our club consistently reaching new heights every season with dazzling displays…………
We also have the dual cheeks from the same arse splitting our sides every weekend.
Which thread do I follow :-)
Fuck em.

There was a pair of us in it. :-)
Probably mostly my fault for posting when I should have been working and then not taking time to digest things before responding.
Sorry about that.

I agree that the recruitment team are very good at their jobs at Brighton but of course they are pretty much forced to look at unproven players within a certain budget that will have some future profit when they sell them on. We aren't forced to work under those constraints quite so much. We are generally looking more at established players that can make an instant impact. As such they are somewhat different roles.

In any case, I think our recruitment team have shown themselves excellent at their jobs too.

Very true, i was worried when Cashworth went to Newcastle however in Weir his replacement who worked along side Ashworth it seems a straight transition. Looking at our buys, we are scouting the player up to 2 years before we buy them, yes we are in a smaller pool than you in who we can go for, hopefully with Newcastle having the money they will ve looking at higher end players. We seem to have got the South American market good.

Easily done mate. Glad we’ve hugged it out ;)

They think it works like American sports where you can have millions of people wearing New York Yankees hats without knowing who the fuck they are. But football doesn't work like that. American sport has a far higher turnover of successful teams, whereas European football has a virtuous circle between investment, success on the pitch and income. Teams that fail to invest drop off the face of the earth.

Anyway, another player has turned them down because they can't match his wage demands. And there's the other issue. When you're shit, even average players like Rabiot demand top wages to come down to your level.

I know where you're coming from f**k the Yankees, I'm a METS fan and I know their history ;-)

So all the tweets the other night about the Glazers selling up...

Turns out they're thinking about selling a minority stake haha...


It's almost as if there's a protest they want to stop.
