Ste Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I think most people involved in English football will have read or been told about Kinnears return. I think we're still a laughing stock over it, though just how much of that is based on my personal disgust over it I don't know. I'd imagine Kinnear will be heavily involved in talking to potential signings, which is why it's such a daft move to bring him in. Onus is heavily on Pardew to present the club in a favourable light, and try and convince players Joe is a senile old bat that we are just keeping amused.

In general i totally agree which makes it such a mental decision. In this case i bet we didnt even get to wages before he said he wants to sign for Everton. Its all too late as usual but hey they tried..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Though I would have welcomed him as a decent signing to add to the squad, the fact that we tried to hijack Everton's deal at all is pretty worrying with regards to our supposed crack scouting team and our supposedly amazingly planned out transfer targets. Reeks of desperation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeks of desperation. All of this really. If we wanted him as plan b(in case our not bidding for plan a didnt work) then fair enough but clearly we showed no attempt to do anything. God help what we end up with, still hoping for Ideye or similar but...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I really didn't see enough of Kone last year, so I went from being underwhelmed to satisfied then meh. Fucking shocking we haven't learned from our past mistakes of waiting until way past pre-season has begun to get players in. I will be genuinely shocked if we sign more than 2 people this summer, still expect us to lose 2 or 3 as well. The whole Kinnear appointment has set us back six months of scouting and supposed planning and left us completely clueless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Certainly no evidence as yet that there's any recognisable strategy emanating from that new office down at the training ground. Am finding it best not to dwell on what might be going on in there. Can't remember having quite such a lack of confidence in anyone at the club, really, except Graham Carr I guess. Just hope his word can prevail behind the scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
