dog_4 Posted 23 June 2013 Share Posted 23 June 2013 Morgan, De Laet,James,Knockeart,wood! Anyone that plays on the right! All of our rubbish players play on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 23 June 2013 Share Posted 23 June 2013 So Ben Thatcher then is the only good player we have had in the last 10 years? Apart from McCaully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banks Posted 23 June 2013 Share Posted 23 June 2013 Knocky, Wes, Kasper and James are all capable of playing in the Premier League at the moment. Can't see anyone else, Moore has the potential as does Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 23 June 2013 Share Posted 23 June 2013 Ok I'm gonna bite....... Morgan would survive in the prem Knocky also James in a few years would also be prem quality And we can't forget Kasper also Apart from Morgan, your living in cuckoo land.

fleckneymike Posted 23 June 2013 Author Share Posted 23 June 2013 So Ben Thatcher then is the only good player we have had in the last 10 years? Apart from McCaully That's precisely my point. When you look at our recruitment policy who has gone on to better themselves, Ben ****ing Thatcher and Gareth McAuley! In a decade thats it, something is seriously wrong with the whole set up if that is it. Many moan about their club being a 'selling club' but we cant even boast that, we're a giving away club.

theessexfox Posted 23 June 2013 Share Posted 23 June 2013 My definition of 'good' was playing for a top half prem side. I think that's a fair definition. Seeing as we're a Championship side, I wouldn't expect us to buy players of top 10 Premiership quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleckneymike Posted 23 June 2013 Author Share Posted 23 June 2013 Seeing as we're a Championship side, I wouldn't expect us to buy players of top 10 Premiership quality. Read the topic again. It is bought players who go on to play for a top 10 side. As in we buy players, improve them/they attract interest from 'better sides' and they move on. What currently happens is we buy players, they leave. For over a decade we've consistently signed players who've gone on to have mediocre careers. We never nervously sit out a transfer deadline day in fear of losing one of our better players because we never have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vale Blue Posted 23 June 2013 Share Posted 23 June 2013 Bloody hell, you have high standards for the word 'good'. Of course we've not signed players who would be a starter in a top 10 Premiership side, we're a Championship side. This!!! Sometimes I just wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vale Blue Posted 23 June 2013 Share Posted 23 June 2013 It's a big ask to be honest.The best chance of having a player who attracts Premier recognition,is a youth player coming through the academy who top teams think they can improve dramatically. If you're buying players then either they are too old to improve greatly, not good enough to play a higher level or a real stab in the dark. IMO the only way you will meet your criteria is if you take a risk and it pays off ten fold, which is basically McAuley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrummieFOX Posted 5 July 2013 Share Posted 5 July 2013 Ha what a dreadful thread. Also, why McCauley aside? If you're judging it on that, why dismiss him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasty Posted 6 July 2013 Share Posted 6 July 2013 I think Kasper could conceivably start in a top 10 premier side. He's the only one mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zingari Posted 6 July 2013 Share Posted 6 July 2013 Swansea finished 9th. If we expand it out to 'played' in the Premiership it's not much better. I think you get to add Stearman, Dickov, Williams and Ferdinand to this list (possibly Bent). You are correct I didn't think McAuley was good enough for the Premiership BUT clearly WBA did and he has been good enough. I still thinks it's pretty shocking that in 10 years so few players have actually gone on to 'better' things. I don't think you should be starting rumours like that about Sir Les !

LanguedocFox Posted 6 July 2013 Share Posted 6 July 2013 Load of bollox. None of MON's signings were "good" - they became great with good coaching and through their character and ability. I can think of half a dozen players who will do the same - but frankly, I can't be arsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
