Genuine question not a dig @Saddlebrains

What percentage of players who visit a training ground end up being converted to a buy? And equally, what percentage of players in active negotiations actually end up signing?

Reason i say that, you mentioned Browne had visited the training ground earlier this summer? and i expect out of contract players, or those in demand do a tour of various teams in order to make sure they are making a good decision.

Does this leak necessarily mean he is at all close to signing?

I’ve got a friend who works for Barnsley. ( didn’t tell me about Kitching or Collins like)

he told me that success rates in transfers is around 2/10.

he said a lot of players do get to the stage of signing very regularly but opting to go elsewhere.

The higher up in quality you go - it happens more regularly because competition is higher

If we all had to apologise every time we get something massively wrong on here most threads would be twice as long.

Not sure if that is a joke? I am referring to his height not squad depth.

Looks a solid squad player and can play a couple of positions, we've got to trust Robins and the recruitment team to get it right.

Would much rather us go after Karamoko Dembele who is also available on a free, younger and had a good season last year

I reckon this is Saddle trying to leave some bait for that lad to take and put on twitter. If it’s true it’s pretty uninspiring IMO.

He was in a hot tub in Copenhagen 2 hours ago according to his instagram story. Unless he flew direct from Ryton that seems like a stretch.

Oh yeah 100%, I never mind being wrong and I’ll hold my hands up if Marcondes significantly helps us gain promotion or if he’s just genuinely good game to game or from the bench. I feel like I’m being fair and honest, I’m trying not to be overly negative about him, he is free but I just think we need to do better that’s all.

Some of you lot need your heads checking...

No idea if this is happening or not, but if it is, I can't see the negativity around it?

The man's played at this level and at premier league level and adds needed depth for the sum of £0.

If the wages are reasonable, why not?

Definitely not as inspiring as the other “experienced” players we’ve been linked with (Browne, Worrall)

Promoted twice from this league but doesn’t look like he was a starter in either of those.

Guess he is used to playing a bit part role. On paper is better than Palmer & Allen if we can move one of those on.

That picture was actually taken from the new set up at Ryton. Hot tubs there for recovery after training. Doug’s idea. Massive hit with all these new signings we keep showing round apparently.
