Roko Simic - potential signing

That's just plainly not true.

The only players at the club before speakman was in charge were Pattrrson, Onien and Neil.

Maybe Rigg depending on how you define the club
I stand corrected if Speakman brought in Clarke and Robert’s. I thought they were already at the club before he was appointed. What about Cirkin?

The majority of that first 11 were at the club in league one before speakman was in charge of recruitment though. Im in agreement that it’s a very good first 11 but bar a few players brought in since recruitment has not made any headway yet. Some might but I’ve liked the looks of more of the under 21 team last season than some of the players we’ve brought in.
He brought in Cirkin, Hume , alese , Clarke , Roberts , Bellingham and mayenda. 7 of them He joined in Dec 2020 around the time that we got 3 points in 5 consecutive games v mk Dons, Doncaster , Fleetwood , burton and Wigan - wining none of them

As said , it's hard to bring in players to oust that starting 11 , as imo they are all some of the best players in that position in the league , the majority are young and will improve , and the majority are all worth 5+ mill easily

Why does that matter? And he was in charge of recruitment then.
How easy do you think it is to improve on Ballard , Clarke , cirkin, Roberts ?
Do they need improving on ?
The first 3 are conservatively valued at at least 10 million each
Its a tough crowd who balks at his signings from the last few windows , calling them duds, as they don't get in the team above those players !

I remember a leaked pic of proveda scarf shot knocking about it was hours later that the club officially announced it.

My point is that transfers aren't always done quickly
if he was here yesterday for a medical he might still not get announced till after burnley
 
I’m not talking about the 11 players who played in the final though am I? I’m talking about how many players that speakman has brought in play in our first 11??? And how many of the first 11 were already at the club before KLD took over the club? I’m not sure of the number btw I’m asking.
I've told you. Patterson, O'Nien, Neil and Rigg. The rest of the 11 were under Speakman.
 
You do know how it works with the echo? The club brief them what is happening. It’ll be right. We will want him and he more than likely is going to sign. But it won’t be as far on as this mornings reports.
I read it as isidor is ready to be announced and simic is in final negotiations. I truly believe he was here yesterday with Isidor for medical before finalising

I can't see who else the mystery Serb was. Clearly it was him after the reports from Croatia today

The same echo that said Will Still is "not understood to be a contender" while he was in talks with us. What do the Croatian media get out of lying about a medical to a championship club?

Not meaning this to be a dig at you by the way I'm just sceptical with the echo lately
