Decent enough at it and his assist (and goal) numbers don't lie. I know he also takes free kicks and all that but at this point are we going to ignore a goal threat? :lol:
Well we need able bodies for sure, but he doesn't really fit that.
The only good thing he does is he's got a phenomenal first touch, maybe he should've invested time in learning to do the rest of the football thing too.
McGinn is a decent-to-great (on his day) player who will bring needed creativity, but it does sound a bit uninspiring. Still though, we'll need a squad to compete and he's a great addition with that in mind, HOWEVER it will likely push Garner...
That's fair , Boyland is pretty reliable , I get kenwright and Moshiri scarred alot of people, even the Friedkins which appear different have to prove to be a distinct entity
I do think it's slightly naive, but I don't mean that as a criticism just a comment. I've heard all this 'things are different this time' stuff far too many times to just swallow it uncritically. I'll judge this set up on what it does not what it...
I'd rather we do the negotiations pre-start of "transfer season", just like everyone does, and finish them as soon as we can.
He played the last game 25th of june and it's not like we're talking with him - he's got a highly paid agent to do that...
I mean no one's asking for 5-6, just one.
We can negotiate things before july 1st and then sign there, as teams around us do.
I get you want to say it's different, but it's really exactly the same so far.
Yeah, absolutely unheard of for players to come in and sign contracts while on their holidays, it has never happened ever, only every other team manages to do it but we're just gentlemanly like that and wait for a few weeks.
At least it's a new thing to see, I'm here for new ways to say "doing F.A. again" :lol:
I'd assume at this point the journos reporting this are getting fed info like "the scout googled his name", just for a story of some sort.
But once again, other teams can work during those times and complete signings. We started on this Barry track seriously only recently, okay, but we still can't act swiftly.
It feels new but then you look at it and, as @ForeverEverton said, we're...
