No scouting network abroad anymore?

All of a sudden Armstrong looks like a steal...

Lol they will in 6 weeks!

You are making up your own agenda pal. If we signed Otzumer instead of Rothwell, do you really think people would be saying "Meh we should have signed the injury plagued lad from Oxford." Appreciate that clubs other than Rovers do make good signings (comparatively) -in some people's opinions (clearly not your own). Just like fans of other teams will be comparing theirs to ours and doing likewise.

What has Rothwell done in the champ? Wasn't always a first teamer for Oxford. Be interesting to compare Otzumer's stats with Rothwells at the end of the season. Davenport could be decent. Yes Wildschutt is a loan and a very good one at this level. Loans are hard to do though because of the world cup...

Bolton have managed to get a couple of decent signings through the door on the cheap. Otzumer and now Wildschutt (sp) if they hadn't signed Lowe as well, I'd be saying hats off. Not bad for a club supposedly in dire straits. Better than our recruitment so far, as we are relying on potential.

It's a strong Liverpool reserve team.

Some teams in league one would have said the same about our squad in context. We've huffed n puffed but the lack of forward thinking players is worrying. At least we've had a good run around.

Fair point. I'll save my tenner next time.

Tired? Bell and Davenport only been on pitch 20 mins ?

2 0 Gave ball away again

Oh aye. I never thought we'd get owt. Shot on goal would be nice though.

Could finish 3 or 4 this. Scousers full of tall, quick players. Everything we are not.

Liverpool very wasteful. We have absolutely nothing going forward.

We are playing with no striker. Just weird. Samuels wide right. We really are short.

Thought the same!

Exactly. So we shouldn't be surprised if goal posts get constantly moved. It's supply and demand of a single individual. If you want the player enough, make sure you budget for them..

You aren't telling me that agents aren't approached pre transfer bid to get an idea of wages/likelihood of them joining? If we didn't then that is naive in the extreme. However, Competition for a signature may drive a contract up. Then by correlation, if you know the initial contract demands and that there is interest in a player....you need to budget accordingly which it appears we haven't done. I look forward to working in Spain ?

No point signing players If they aren't going to improve what we ave. Under 23s can plug gaps. If they weren't aware of the expected fees and wages of players they were interested in, then clearly the scouting system isn't working.

Is Cory Evans the best we can trot out for the kit launch?Surely Graham, Dack Smallwood etc. People we actually like. Hope the fact that Dack's not in the picture isn't a sign. NB. Don't like the kit at all.

Sounds a bit of a Kent! Avoid.

Completely agree with that. 90 percent of loans made should be with an option to buy. No problem at all with that model. The 10 % should be the premier league gem.

Aye. IMO
