JFK-1 1,669 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Some live in a Utopian world JFK, whilst others live in reality. We talk about "wanting British players but better than we have" but the start reality is that even the lower level teams in the Championship can afford wages far in excess of us. So... what are we left with ? League 1 and 2 players - the exact same pool of players that we have bemoaned MW for signing for the last 9 months. It is very, very difficult to have it both ways. I don't care where they come from if they do the job to a sufficient standard. I don't care if they sign an African pygmy who dresses in a loincloth and speaks an unknown language if he can net 30 goals a season. We would soon all be chanting his unpronounceable name. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juancornetto 1 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I wonder if ra Sellick hordes felt the same way about a certain Wim Jansen arriving and signing hitherto unknown players from the lesser (at the time) leagues? We all know how that turned out! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 even if we sign the main players quoted we will still have around 6 brits in the starting 11 nevermind throughout the squad. Imagine how much the likes of Bates can learn from playing along side Alves in training and games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how much the likes of Bates can learn from playing along side Alves in training and games. Read someplace that Pedro thinks Wilson can be a player but needs an experienced man beside him and ideally an experienced talented 'assassin' so to speak. Think Alves checks those boxes.

JFK-1 1,669 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I know some will want to say seen all that before Garner scored a bagful on youtube and I agree nothing is ever certain but you can't watch this and not see this guy has real quality which along with other new signings could propel us far ahead of the rest at a bare minimum. The video is a bit less than halfway down the page. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/carlos-pena-set-rangers-talks-10526646 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
