PRL Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 My uncle (Swindon season ticket holder) actually went out of his way to phone me and berate me following the signing, which is a rarity considering we probably only ever talk on Christmas day for about 30 seconds. He said every time he has seen Tozer play he has stood out head and shoulders above everyone on the pitch, reckons he’s the best young player he’s ever seen at the club and we’ve got an absolute bargain. Potential new owners wouldn’t have sold him but as the deal was already done they couldn’t stop it. Something vaguely positive at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 new transfer policy - throw (relatively) small amounts of money at 17 years olds showing promise.... probability suggests that in 3-4 years time we'll end up with some decent players surely better than blowing 17m on a cripple in one shot? if we'd have spent that 17m on, say, 30 17 year olds we'd just be about to see a crop of 20 year old genii take the world by storm ah, sweet hindsight, what a cruel mistress you are You forgot to mention the wages saving. Give those kids £3k a week contracts, and you are still paying less than Owen's wages. we're onto something here man...factor in owens wages and we could probably add another, say, 5 17 year olds (being conservative) 3-4 years of agony while we spend no money (so no big change in circumstances then) and bang....the world is ours!
