Kanj Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Really do despise our recruitment policy, like. Yep. I'll stand up and say I did like it before - but this summer has well and proved how poor it is. Its terrible, and I'd even imagine Graham Carr would love to go scout elsewhere but you know that once he made the right moves and we strong-armed France for a bit, that he would be eternally stuck there as that's all Mike Ashley and whoever he has employed at "boardroom" level will care about - doing as least as possible with spending the least amount of cash. Common sense points to the fact that he's clearly only allowed to look at a few countries, small age-range, particular contract issues, and nothing more or less. Its ridiculous. We look so stupid with this constant brinkmanship crap. It was a great laugh the first few times but not when you desperately need reinforcements to improve the squad and league position. Its this lack of ambition that is costing us, and wasting talent spotters/contact-men like Carr at this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Being held to ransom by a skint club that stand to lose him for nowt next season, lets see how long they hold out. Sounds like we're holding them to ransom more than the other way around tbh, what with us apparently having near enough agreed terms with him personally and trying to force a move at less than what they, and other suitors, value the player at.

NG32 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Its a pain in the arse but its putting pressure on Lyon, the player wants to come, he has a year left on his contract, Lyon are skint. The pressure is on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 http://www.mercato365.com/infos-clubs/lyon/les-dessous-du-dossier-bafe-gomis-1046401.shtml Newcastle has recently submitted a new offer of € 10 million, including bonuses, for Bafé Gomis (27), the front-center of Lyon, author of sixteen goals this season in the league. But while the French international has already agreed with the Magpies, who offered him 430,000 euros per month, the club's president Jean-Michel Aulas has not responded. The two sides are not far from an agreement, but the seven-time champions France are inflexible and require at least one million additional euros.

pedro111 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I bet that if our entire recruitment team/scouting network or whatever you want to call it was laid bare for us all to see that we would find that it is even more third rate and amateur than we all suspect it to be.

Our scouting "network" consists of one man which says all you need to know. I'm sure I've read before that there are a couple of others and not just Carr but I would bet that we have less than five scouts. Appalling really. Honestly, the club would be better off coming on here and asking the forum. Bet it has more knowledge than the scouting system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
