SUPERTOON Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Was there a reason given for Forestieri not featuring today? Yeah, he told the manager he wasn't in the right frame of mind and refused to. Apparently he did the same last week but was talked into playing at the last minute and scored the winner.

Dinho lad Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Forestieri isn't particularly creative or technical. He seems more of a withdrawn forward, who relies on his off the ball movement and strength. We need a player like this but we need flair and creativity more. Sounds like what we already have, another perfect Carr signing,👍 Sounds more of a Rafa signing. Yeah of course, probably had his eye on this lad for years.👍 Similar to knokeart, who Carr scouted for us before Leicester paid up and signed him. So you're saying the board are going over Rafa's head? It did cross mind when we signed Clark and Diame. (Release clause policy and shit!) Anyway, I'm not panici g about Rafa and the signings.

huss9 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 could do with moving on sissoko quickly (der, obvious I know) - at least it would add some clarity to the size of our remaining transfer budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Ricky Lambert available, would be ideal at this level. What's Victor moses doing these days? Rafa had him at Chelsea didn't he? He'd be another superb addition Done basically nowt since Wigan and couldn't imagine him being up for a scrap in the Championship. No ta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying the board are going over Rafa's head? It did cross mind when we signed Clark and Diame. (Release clause policy and shit!) Anyway, I'm not panici g about Rafa and the signings. No, but I'm thinking a scout report was already compiled, Rafa speaks of this great relationship he has already with Charnley, Charnley & Carr both need to justify their existence. I mean Carr off the back of last season and with Thauvin & Cabella, wtf is he still here for. These new lads had been pre scouted. I guess Rafa will say no to anyone he won't use, but I just don't think all these new boys are all Rafa's total choices.But I understand you have to get the best of what's available to a relegated club. Rafa obviously trusts Charnley, and Charnley bizarrely trusts Carr or he wouldn't be here. I don't think going over heads perhaps like before, but hes working with them Charnley and Carr and the other scouts recommendations(unfortunately). I would rather us not have paid Villa 5.5m for Clark only for them lot to use the cash to purchase Chester for 8m. Think we got done there and helped them get a better defender. Carr should have been dismissed ages ago, the only reason I'm so sceptical. No disrespect to Rafa, I trust Rafa, but I think Rafa trusts these clowns. Mentioned it earlier in the season,but I had the Rafa database brigade swarm on me for suggesting such idiocy. 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Toon Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Carr scouts players and in the past has recommended a certain number for whatever position we've wanted to buy for. It isn't his fault that the club has usually opted for the scouted 8th choice. Even when we talk of strikers, the list of players that we could have got but didn't is comical. Most have went on to the biggest clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 nobody knows how far down his pecking order the actual signings were. Yes probably, as he scouted Aubamayang. But you and I could suggest players who we already know 20/30 other scouts are watching while your sat there with them among the crowd.Its a waste of time, if Dortmund scouts are there at the same time as you, and knowing your board will insult his club and representatives with derisory offers just move on to the next target what you perhaps know we could/might achieve.He has managed to push through the Cabella deal at 14m but couldn't manage to convince the board to sign Ngolo Kante. Newly promotion alleged struggling Leicester did though? He has been riding on the Cabaye,Tiote,Ba breakthrough season for way to long. We Spunked loads on shite under him. And guess what, he's still here. Still throwing reports on Charnleys desk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is the help the agent deals, like Ferrayra, Doumbia? There's miles more examples. Nobody was even that fust with Gini. Our third most expensive signing since Owen and biggest under Ashley.
