TRon Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 In fairness, that wasn't the point with Rafa leaving was it. Rather than having some DoF (who?) spend 36m on a striker he didn't fancy Rafa would have rightly wanted that 36m (and more) to spend how he saw fit, i.e. perhaps 16m on Rondon and 20m on another forward. Steve "head coach" Bruce will have no say in who comes and goes. This was and always will be the sticking point with Ashley. Players are just like sports merchandise to him, and the head coach no more than a manager in one of his shops. Welcome to SDFC. I think there's probably a fair few clubs at our level who operate like that. I think maybe the CL regulars are the ones who can afford to spend big money on older players and write off the fee.

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I thought Joelinton was first rumoured ages ago? When Rafa was still in charge. feels like TBG has been making the jeolinton joke for about 6 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 If a player or his agent didn’t do their homework and choose to join us at this moment, you know the fees would mean nothing - they are just idiots and must be going to fail here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club scout Steve Nickson may have suggested him. Rafa had the power to block transfers. Now Rafa is gone it's full steam ahead on all the transfer targets he declined.

toon25 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 With the likes of Darlow, Sterry, Manquillo, Clark, Lazaar, Colback, Murphy and Aarons starting in the same team I say good luck to him in his quest to score goals.

ScottishMagpie Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 If true then £36 million is a hell of a lot to spunk on this guy.

Given SDFC mode of operating how good do they think this guy is gonna become that they would be able to sell him for a profit? We have wasted a lot money on players who turned out to be shit, but we have also scored big sales on a few as well. Perez, Cabaye, Sissoko, Wijnaldum to name a few off the top of my head. I have no doubt we will unearth a few more gems, this fella might well be one of them. Only problem is, we won't have a manager who can actually get these players to gel, same as we had with Pardew and Mcclaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
