Half the company has probably worked on them in some capacity, filling in this and that, preparing a document or 2, going through compliance matrices, reviewing other people's documents etc. It's tedious grunt work that involves people at all levels of the company.  It does give you an insight into the concept of bid processes though, and whilst not all of that is directly trasnferrable to bidding for footballers, a lot of it will be so I can see why it takes time to do these deals.

McCormick Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited)  Ah ok, don’t mean to be a dick but when you said retreating I thought you meant he was backtracking on the fact that a deal was close. Edited June 13 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Not enthusiastic about this deal at all. Probably a good keeper for the future but we need an instant improvement on Pope which am not sure he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be looking at 50 million plus for an upgrade on Pope. A young keeper who we can mould into a replacement for Pope is the sensible option when we can't be splashing the cash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is going to have to give somewhere. Edited June 19 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Pope is a great shot stopped and commands his box well.  But he can’t kick a ball properly. That’s why we need an upgrade on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is in the top 20 keepers in the world. Name 20 better.  It's only that his shoulder is a huge concern now, so we need cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Has everyone forgotten that Pope is quality. Yes there are limitations with his kicking but we don't have 50 or 60 million to spend. As others have said we don't need to replace him just have less of a drop off when he's injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trafford not an upgrade on pope who has two fucked shoulders and can’t kick a ball, doesn’t show Trafford in a good light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
