We love an absolutely pointless underwhelming signing like. Speakman really couldn't give a fuck about what we need for NOW could he ?

All about what these players can potentially make the club in a few years

Not sure what is pointless or underwhelming about signing a highly rated youngster in a position we need cover.

As for the 2nd bit, it’s just nonsense really. If it was all about that, we’d be selling players at every chance we get.

 

[Herberthall]

This is the sort of signing that has worked for us to be fair.

Like Dajaku and Bennette?

Edit and Lihadgi as well

 

[look out piano]

Hope the lad can hit the ground running and be a success here - haway Romaine

 

[parsonjohn1985]

Maybe Romaine speaks English?

He should do. He's from London

Like Dajaku and Bennette?

He means like Lihadji and Aochiche

 

[Geppetto]

@Geppetto you’ve made it

Thanks marra, it's nice to finally get some credit.

 

[Frank Bullitt]

what i don't understand about this 'model' , is if these players have potential to increase in value and be 'flipped' , then why don't their clubs just keep hold of them?

The players themselves don't want to stay when they aren't going to get in the Tottenham or whoever side. They want to play. This fella turned down a contract at Tottenham.

 

[cronnyberg]

The “model” ain’t for turning, is it? I mean, he might well be class but it would be nice to get the odd experienced head in there

Give it a couple seasons and they’ll all be experienced heads I suppose.

 

[Botchie]

Fits the model.

Signing these young unproven players is never going to have a 100% success rate, they won't all work out by any means, but his profile gives him a high a chance as any.

I just really really really want us to sign a CDM.

One thing we have done well with those that haven't worked is shift them on pretty quickly. It's better than signing someone for £20 million, putting them on £50k a week and then having to pay the contract up to get rid.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Like Dajaku and Bennette?

Edit and Lihadgi as well

But we got 20 million for Lihadji

 

[Botchie]

But we got 20 million for Lihadji

It'll be up to 30 million this time next week.

 

[Zweiguys]

Roker Report tweeted earlier to say his team are in financial bother I believe so that can explain it, much like Mayenda’s signing

We picked him up at a yard sale?

 

[Herberthall]

If our recruitment team want him that's good enough for me

Priority is DCM

 

[poisson]

Like Dajaku and Bennette?

Edit and Lihadgi as well

Is that Lihadj that we made a few million for very little effort? Bennette will be good somewhere, the 3m euro deal they wanted still resembles a profit too. We do however need to get Moore through the door.

 

[Zweiguys]

He should do. He's from London

Doesn’t mean a thing. I used to drink with a lad from Sunderland that lived in Philly. Couldn’t understand a word.

 

[Wearside2Wrwkshire]

Saw he was a midfielder, got a bit excited thinking he might be a DCM. Winger ffs.

Same!
I don't understand why we're even looking at wingers this window. The most important signing we can make right now is someone to play dcm, I'd have one over a cf

 

[oddbod]

Cos

Tad cress me thinks youl be sorrel

 

[Missplaced Childhood]

Seeing a few Stokies on social media not happy as they reckoned they had this lad targeted.

 

[Deener718]

Similar profile at Spurs to both Clarke and Cirkin, had been training with the first team but limited opportunities to play. Based on the other two it seems like a risk worth taking

 

[James]

Like Dajaku and Bennette?

Edit and Lihadgi as well

I didn't realise that both of them came through a Premier League club's academy. Fair play.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Certainly seems so. This is the type of signing we should be making. Far less of a punt than a foreign young un who has to learn the language and culture.
Mind, Kazakh Sterling probably also fit the bill.
