I doubt anyone thought a average championship CB was going to end up a PL title winning captain. Or a Villa or Stoke rejects would win the league. I think some people are still in denial that we've actually been relegated. 4 2

CyprusFox Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 Not too many backwards or sideways passes in this compilation 🤔

Just judging both players, Winks is better, but Cairney would be cheaper (wages and fee) and come with championship promotion experience 1

If that’s true then we are covering his PL salary of 60k next season it’s swings and roundabouts from an ffp basis I would think there is little difference paying a larger fee which can be amortised over the length of his deal rather than a million quid extra on his wages on year one
ClaphamFox Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 12 minutes ago, chadlcfc said: He will be good for us - better than 90% of the CM in the championship When we won League One in 2008/09, it felt like we had the division's best player in each position on the pitch, more or less. Even in the one or two positions where we didn't have the best player (we might have had room for one or two Leeds players that season, for example), we had the 2nd or 3rd best players. If you ensure your team has among the best players in most positions on the pitch, a good manager will get you promoted. Winks would be one of the best players in his position in the Championship, which is presumably why we're targeting him. 3

If it was an unknown 27 year old from Italy or Spain there would be different opinions. If there is a mixture of 'types' of signings then I'm fine with that. Core of solid professionals, some young prospects and a couple of wildcards. ...the problem would be that people would have seen him (Winks) play, and have little faith in what he brings to the table!!! The 27-year-old from overseas would receive just as many cries of derision, due to being an unknown and his performance record in his last season. There is a certain type of player that we are going to be looking to recruit, to play for Moresca, and it may not be quite what this club has envisaged. Watching a group of technical players, probing a defence to break them down, may not be the most exciting thing that many had envisaged. Edited 27 June 2023 by sacreblueits442 Spelling error. 1
Nod.E Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 Everyone seems to have an opinion but there's no chance everyone has seen him play a lot of football. 1

I prefer to use heavy duty things like StatsBomb and FBRef. However, FIFA is a good way to present things to younger audiences. FUT uses real data as a base and although they are creative with the truth, the underlying fundamentals aren’t ridiculous. It’s time to embrace new thinking and new ways of doing things, just like our new manager!

The Doctor Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 Calling bullshitting "being creative with the truth" is some top tier newspeak tbf. Definitely something I could see a random columnist doing to defend their favourite bland politician

Mawuli Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 I was against this until I realized we employed kdh who can't pass a ball and plays like a lw so now I don't mind it

Finnegan Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 If its genuinely as low as 4m and his wage will be sensible for an upper Championship midfielder then I'll wind my neck in, calm down and accept it's not a bad signing. 4
coolhandfox Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 Looking forward to him recycling possession for KDH or Hamza to boot it out of play.... 3
An Sionnach Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 We are in the Championship , 18 y.o. lightweight kids spotted on You Tube or some phony football stats site will be of no use whatsoever. We have our academy kids for that job. We need experience and physical presence for what will be a formidable battle.

Exactly, Man City U21s cannot even win the papa johns trophy so a team full of 18/19 years olds is not the answer against Men in the championship. Edited 27 June 2023 by les-tah
