To be fair, there are some quality players - to buy or get in on loan - that you can attract to L1...Brentford got Prtichard from Spurs, and Pennington, Ward and Samuel were a cut above anything I saw in L1.

A good scouting system can get you some above standard players for this sh1tty standard...oh hold on, we haven't got a scouting system :facepalm:

It is in this area that I think TM is most significant...he will put the structure in place which SP failed to do...and what partly led to his downfall...

Not saying TM won't attract better players than what we have got. I think because of the statue of the manager he can attract better known players but we all know it will come down to wages and if we can afford the players TM wants

Do you think PL clubs cover the wages of their players out on loan?

I mean someone like Pennington will be on say, £3-5k a week. Will that bother Everton? Will they cover that?

I remember Alan Smith being loaned by Man U to MK Dons a few years ago, and as he was on £50k a week, Man U paid £48k of his wages.

To be fair I wouldn't be surprised to find out Pennington was on a lot less than that. Maybe 1/2k. He's out of the youth team when he signed his first contract and with no first team appearances at Everton plus I think his contract may be up this summer. If Everton do renew his contract, on improved wages, I think we have a chance of getting him back with a percentage of the wages covered.

Better known played doesn't necessarily make them better players. We need to move away from signing players based on what they did 2-3+ years ago. We signed names this season - Pugh, Jackson, madine, nouble, Tudguy, Swanson, for e.g, and in the end the best signings were Samuels, ward, Pennington, and stokes (based on low expectations).

I know what you are saying but I feel that is why TM played the so called big name players we have here. I still feel TM will have a list like all managers and in that will be some key experienced players that he has worked with before. A mix of our youth team and his own signings

They also need to be looking at the players released by teams in this league as well and the teams that were relegated as they will be getting rid for financial more than talent/fitness reasons

I thought for a minute about Church but having looked at his scoring record we would be better off signing Charlotte instead, it is as bad a Nouble's.

TBF on my one and only visit to Sixfields last season I happened to sit behind a young lad who claimed to be a cousin of young Grealish at Villa
He told me he was on £11K as an 18 yr old there, so I'd guess Pennington Is on decent dollar at the Toffees

Scary to think that soon players will retire at 20 odd as millionaires having never played a first team game

Some decent players released by Bolton

Championship side Bolton have released 13 players but offered new contracts to four players.

Jermaine Beckford, Matt Mills, Craig Davies, Andrew Lonergan and Keith Andrews will all leave the club.

Every club Mills has played for they've released him, he is shit. He belongs in League Two, or America.

Ok then. Reading signed Mills for £2 million and he went on to captain them to a play-off final. Leicester then paid a fee for him, as did Bolton. As things stand it looks like Forest are in for him. So yeah he belongs in League Two, or America.

No they haven't, Reading paid about 1 million to get him from Doncaster and Leicester paid about 4 million to get him from Reading

Bollocks, I even remember the clown sven paying £5ill for him and selling him 28 games later..

Even Bigirmana showed him up, that says it all.

Just because Forest want him, doesn't make him any better. They fail with every signing in the past 5 years.

Yea clearly Doncaster and Reading wanted to sell him, explains why they got such good money for him.

We sold Wilson therefore he is a poor player, that is your level of logic here.

Find a Leicester or Reading fan who speak highly of him, and whilst you're at it, go and ask Bolton fans why he was dropped for so long this season.

Your logic to throw Wilson into this conversation considering he's highly regarded here, it's just daft.

I'll regurgitate this one last time, Matt Mills... is shit.

Would rather have Andy Webster at the back.

Andy Lonergan would be a great signing for us. I used to work with his brother, not that that has any relevance what-so-ever but if we signed him i could tell everyone," i used to work with his brother ya know!"

I'd take Beckford, great striker at this level but would assume he is Preston bound or else another Champ club might take a punt on him.
