Quality was a stretch - he was a very good championship player in his day but they'd long gone with usTrue, but I don't think they cost much, so as such probably worth a punt, and the best we could get for our budget back then.
Waghorn was a quality player, who looked to of lost his pace.
Clarke Harris had all the attributes and tbf has had a fantastic scoring record since leaving. Rumour has it his attitude may have been questionable at times.
Walker had scored goals elsewhere, but was just lazy imo, and Mcguire was a decent player, just never a goalscorer.
Interestingly these "failures" occurred under our stats driven recruitment policy!!!! (#shmmeee) just saying
I seem to recall Robins wanted Waghorn against the advice of our the small scouting team.Quality was a stretch - he was a very good championship player in his day but they'd long gone with us
He is on record stating he never wanted to leave Derby anyway and had they not have been in complete meltdown financially we would have never signed him
Expect things to start moving both ways
And shorter players with a lower centre of gravity generally have better mobility and balance. That, along with timing, made the already mentioned David Speedie a great example. He scored loads of goals with his headJust for reference, a players height doesn’t always equate to aerial ability. In fact, I’ve seen loads of short arses who can out-jump comparatively taller, stronger players; Fabio Cannavaro being one of them.
Jan Koller, the Czech striker who was built like a pole vaulter (202cm/6’’7’’) was atrocious in the air.
Obviously there are more than those examples, like Sean Flynn for us who was about 5’7’’ and would often somehow manage to out-jump most players.
Lower centre of gravity + less muscle mass can often allow a short arse to ‘spring’ more than, say, a strapping defender of greater height. Physics innit.
Here we go!Expect things to start moving both ways from midweek
Standard when the writing is on the wall about a player going. I think he's looked decent every time I've seen him.
So you want paying for casting your pearls before the swine?But mine are always right. So if you hire people who actually know football we will be ok
Yes, balance and mobility are key, as well.And shorter players with a lower centre of gravity generally have better mobility and balance. That, along with timing, made the already mentioned David Speedie a great example. He scored loads of goals with his head

I notice you didn't say which midweek.Expect things to start moving both ways from midweek

I assume this is when they’re all back from Vegas
Sounds like it’s more about incomings then?Unsure mate, I am under the impression its Robins and Adi back from their breaks, and they want to crack on with getting the main ones through the door ( would assume that also means those they want out can also progress)
This is almost the platonic ideal of a vague and uncontestable ITK nugget, no pre-season cobwebs to shake off here.Expect things to start moving both ways from midweek

So as you weren't listening properly, could it be we are more likely to get someone called Alan, who is brown, rather than a player called Alan Browne?Well I've got to come back with tail between my legs.
Robins and Adi go away this week, not come back.
That will teach me for not listening properly.
Feel free to chastise me all, you have until 9pm for abuse
Duck's in a row then?Well I've got to come back with tail between my legs.

To be fair, doesn't mean things won't still move next week, just might not be announced.Well I've got to come back with tail between my legs.

I’ve just worked out that Saddlebrains is in fact Keir StarmerGround breaking. Something may happen next week , something might not but probably there will be something happening after next week.
Ffs, you can't trust any fucker these days!Well I've got to come back with tail between my legs.

It's Nixon guys, when will people learn?I have a different source than this Nixon fella... I am only posting what I have been told... If I am wrong I am wrong but this source is usually spot on....Keep things to myself in future if you want me too..

Robins spoke last summer about his various zoom meetings with players etc and endless phone calls.Seems an odd time to go away. You'd think they'd get the holidays out of the way as soon as the season is over.
He wasn't on Pro Evo. I still have nightmares of my brother crossing it into him!Just for reference, a players height doesn’t always equate to aerial ability. In fact, I’ve seen loads of short arses who can out-jump comparatively taller, stronger players; Fabio Cannavaro being one of them.

Why because it suits you? They already sacrifice most weekends and public holidays during the year.
