Agreed and thank god we didn't sign Kirk as well because he was bang average too.The writings been on the wall for him this pre season. He’s not a bad player but he’s not as good as he thinks he is.
If you look at the players we’ve signed they seem to be the players we hoped Dale might develop into.
I fear Lg 1 is the ceiling for him.
Low cost punt. Nothing really lost.
Before Critchley left i wouldn’t have shed any tears about Kirk signing, I figured he was the best crosser of the ball we had and he’d probably form a so so squad to keep us up. Albeit a very dull one. Having said that since Apples has come in I’m very pleased to see we’ve gone in a different direction and brought in a few more dynamic players.Agreed and thank god we didn't sign Kirk as well because he was bang average too.
He spat his dummy out at Crewe, refused to play and was a real pain in the arse by all accounts.Where have all these comments on his attitude/personality come from?
So he did what we'd all have liked the "unambitious" Cameron Brannagan to do to further his career?He spat his dummy out at Crewe, refused to play and was a real pain in the arse by all accounts.
That was one of the few occasions where we've been in for a player and the player actually wanted to come here because our level as a club is big enough to make it feel like a step up from Crewe, without having to put any effort in to sell it to him. He'd seen all his mates sold off before that and wanted the same so I'd no problem with him pushing for a move.He spat his dummy out at Crewe, refused to play and was a real pain in the arse by all accounts.
Very arrogant, well known within the club.Where have all these comments on his attitude/personality come from?
That would be a shame as someone is gonna get a goalscorer if they give him a run. He just doesn't seem to fit the 4-3-3 at all sadly.Hearing that Lavery might be off on loan as well.
I tend to agree with you on this!We should never of signed him, bang average, league 1 at best and has a terrible attitude. Let's hope they like him and want to buy him
No. Two different situations.So he did what we'd all have liked the "unambitious" Cameron Brannagan to do to further his career?
Not exactly. Most transfers dont involve that behaviour and Brannagan just needed to agree terms with us. Different situation.So he did what we'd all have liked the "unambitious" Cameron Brannagan to do to further his career?
Example - he was stood yawning whilst warming up against Everton. Not the best way to impress the new boss.Where have all these comments on his attitude/personality come from?
He is being linked with ReadingAgreed and thank god we didn't sign Kirk as well because he was bang average too.
do you know what and i realise he’s done a couple of great things i can’t take to him, seems to have a terrible attitude but that aside i don’t think he’s good enough for us and we’ve moved on.We should never of signed him, bang average, league 1 at best and has a terrible attitude. Let's hope they like him and want to buy him
Critchley wanted him, he wanted to come here and it was just about doable even though it still took them two transfer windowsNot sure why we signed him TBH....
He's clearly got some technical ability, but he's just not got the grit and determination for Championship Football IMHO. Certainly never done anything to justify a regular place in the team.
I wonder if that's where Quitchley fell down really... He was clearly a very good coach and tactician (Yep, understand some didn't like the football, but he understood how to pick the opposition apart and capitalise on their weaknesses and he did it to great affect against some top class opposition)... However... I'm far from convinced about some of the signings.Critchley wanted him, he wanted to come here and it was just about doable even though it still took them two transfer windows
Was starting to look like they had buyers remorse before they'd even paid for him.
Yeah maybe an example of what happens when, despite all the fancy job titles, if nobody else is coming up with any good ideas or making deals happen in the transfer market for him to manage then it was left up to him to sort, so the ex Crewe lads he'd coached before. They're all technically good footballers but you need a little bit more about you in the championship. And the one we didn't have a sniff of keeping of course is the best of the lot.I wonder if that's where Quitchley fell down really...

I wonder what Sadler's view is on all the recruitment team stuff? The one permanent signing so far this summer (Thompson) seems to have been instigated by Appleton, who has tried to sign him before.Yeah maybe an example of what happens when, despite all the fancy job titles, if nobody else is coming up with any good ideas or making deals happen in the transfer market for him to manage then it was left up to him to sort, and the ex Crewe lads he'd coached before.

I tend to agree with you on this!
Yeah how the hell did we agree so much for so long?I think it's quite refreshing to be having a few differences of opinions as over the past god knows how many years we've practically agreed on everything!!
It's because you've gone all cranky in your old age and I still have the crazy zest of youth!!Yeah how the hell did we agree so much for so long?
And how did Phil infect your head?
I cant dispute the cranky. I've been over used on here and it does my friggin ed in tbh.It's because you've gone all cranky in your old age and I still have the crazy zest of youth!!
Well, you see that's the sort of thing that's missing in your life, they're a revelation (no they don't reveal anything) Honestly you need to change your pants, it'll make you a new man!!I cant dispute the cranky. I've been over used on here and it does my friggin ed in tbh.
And I dont wear multi coloured bamboo knickers.
They just seem to make you panic and change your mind a lot and turn against people, looking at it from my armchair! What are the pluses? Do you dance more now?Well, you see that's the sort of thing that's missing in your life, they're a revelation (no they don't reveal anything) Honestly you need to change your pants, it'll make you a new man!!
