I realise that those internationalists could only manage 8th before Heckingbottom arrived but I’m not keen on the trend.
We’ll see...

Signing players to play actual positions to do actual jobs is stuff dreams are made of. Instead of sign a player because they are available and try and integrate into the side.Quote:

A central midfield player away from a really good starting 11.
Not a rumour by any means and sorry if this has already been mentioned.
Agyepong got injured again while playing for Ghana. It's such a shame but he may need to give up football at this rate.
In a crude way, it possibly puts in perspective we can't just recruit based on name, international experience, previous clubs etc. I've been critical of our recruitment team but we've been fortunate to have some gems that I thought would flop, and others that I thought would be a stand out performer every week but for whatever reason just did nothing. Shows how difficult it is to get it "right". Everything made it look like Man Utd were getting an excellent player in Sanchez and look how disastrous that has been for them.
Can't wait for the new season and to get to see these new signings, I think it's safe to say we'll have better competition for places this season (barring an injury crisis).
Remeber all that chat last season about how many internationalists we signed. I’d rather just focus on what the player actually brings, rather than what he’s done. Nelom had two caps for Holland and couldn’t even get a game. Mavrais eight caps.
This. Identify a player from wherever to do a job in the team scout what he will bring to the team instead of looking at international credentials and perhaps not the right fit.Quote:

Any word on why Championship clubs down south didn’t go for him?Quote:

Isn't he a bit too fond of a goal for them?Quote:

No idea, a bit of a coup that can’t be argued against if he goes there. He must have underlying issues.Quote:

Ipswich wanted him but they aren’t championship.Quote:

He is small though and may struggle with the hoofs
