I don't know where you're looking, but it's 11 and 2 League and cup. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi - Detailed stats | Transfermarkt He was available for Palace for 3 games BEFORE going to Turkey... ?

Pliskin Posted 17 January Posted 17 January We’ve got to start looking in the J and K leagues. This lad is starting to turn heads over there. Pace, excellent technique, low centre of gravity and a wicked left foot. Sell Abdul for £30m and sign this lad for peanuts. 1

Staggering we haven't done any business in that league since Yuki Abe I think? I know the likes of Japan and South Korea are no way alike to Thailand bar being in the vicinity of South East Asia but it still surprises me there's been no natural vested interest in the best leagues of that region which is notorious for finding value and players settling well in English leagues.

And me. The Germans have been at it for years, and look at the sheer amount of talent that has emerged from their leagues….. I wanted us to sign Sota Kawasaki last summer, and now he’s in Germany, Brighton have started to do it, and a few in the championship have too, Coventry, Swansea to name two…… We’re just not smart with our recruitment at all, we would rather try Antonio? Then look at someone like Angulo? ****ing madness…. Low risk signings, cheap to buy and won’t be on huge wages? It’s literally how Sunderland have build themselves, and now those arseholes ln the periphery of your neck of the woods are also doing it…. And here’s us, signing Jordan ****ing Ayew….

We just have no visible strategy thst has adjusted to counteract the situation we find ourselves in. We have no experience at dealing in the markets we need to utilise now in order to find value for significant gains, we just appear to now be interested in experienced players on the decline or domestic loans and free transfers. I hope i'm wrong but I really don't rate Martyn Glover and our scouting network does not yet appear to be operating in the leagues we need to be looking at.

I completely agree with you, glover is terrible, his track record is dreadful and he hasn’t really done anything anywhere. We just seem to have an infatuation with recruiting personnel from Southampton… it’s genuinely mad how many people we’ve had working for us who have also worked for Southampton, both playing and none playing staff. We’ve noting but bling hope and nostalgia powering the club now. And it’s finally properly caught up with us.

Danizen Posted 17 January Posted 17 January Left back, left back, left back, left back, left back, left back, left back. 2 1
StinckleyFox Posted 17 January Posted 17 January We have to sign a left back. There is surely someone out there who can actually defend that won’t cost an arm and a leg. We also need a keeper who can command his area. This season is a write off now as far as I am concerned. We aren’t getting promoted and we will struggle to even get playoffs but there is enough in this team to not go down. We will probably finish 8-10th after our points deduction.

Claudio Fannieri Posted 17 January Posted 17 January If we sell Abdul in this window I would love to see us bite the bullet and bring Masawanise back from Motherwell he is absolutely flying this season. 1
Popular Post moore_94 Posted 17 January Popular Post Posted 17 January Should be asking Leyton Orient how much they want for Ballard 5
StanSP Posted 17 January Posted 17 January Need a LB sharpish. A striker, equally so. Shamelessly bad in those positions for a club that thinks it should be aiming for promotion.
OntarioFox Posted 17 January Posted 17 January Swear I heard some rumours about Callum Wilson in the past week, must have been some Mandela Effect bs. He's turned out to be West Ham's saviour anyway, so way out of our league now.
