HarryBosch Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Who have "the boys" been and how have they done? I'll start... Harkins - a joy to watch when on song, wasn't as lazy as billed when it came to the less glamorous stuff. 95% of us would've loved to keep him.

MAC0AFC Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 James Wilson - Many people thought because of his Bristol City link it was "Jobs for the Boys"! Alongside a centre half that commands, Wilson is top notch and will ultimately go onto better things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Adam Lockwood - arguably Johnson's best signing. Shored up a previously shaky defence no end in a matter of weeks. Two games in and we've missed him already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC0AFC Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) i don't get this 'mates rates' business... just because he played with such a player or played at the same club at different times doesn't necessarily mean he's a mate of theirs Edited August 15, 2014 by kieranmcandrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu-Blood Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 This was always going to be the case with a young manager...having played maybe 5 or 6 clubs throughout his career, he was bound to be familiar with a hell of a lot of players, most of which are still playing now. I for one, would much prefer him to sign people that he is already familiar with and knows what he is going to get, as opposed to someone signed off the back of a video or two! This "Jobs for the boys" comment never comes out with an older manager as all his "boys" will have retired and working elsewhere. No-one seems to kick up a fuss when a manager hires someone he knows as a coach or assistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
