Wardie Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 52 minutes ago, Kusunga_Is_God said: I'm not being negative for the sake of it. If we signed a player of decent calibre then I would be happy and expect good things. This signing only seems to confirm two things. We've not learnt anything from last season and AL will still have control to bring in whoever he wants. How can Bunn have judged him as a footballer from 2 days of fitness training? "Decent calibre"? That is a purely subjective viewpoint. Players of proven and excellent repute would most possibly not be playing in, or wanting to join a League Two club. How can Latics be that competitive in the signing-on and wages department? Lemsagam was a footballing agent and I would assume he is using his contacts in an attempt to get some decent players in for the club's current status. We are not privy to training sessions or owner/manager meetings, so we do not know exactly how Bunn has assessed and managed the signing of Branger. We cannot just jump to our own pre-conceived...or maybe ill-conceived...conclusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 11 minutes ago, Wardie said: Using that logic, Latics are always going to get the footballing dregs, when it comes to experienced players, because any decent players that are "any good" would have already been picked up. Therefore, Latics get the untried and untested youngsters or the old and possibly past-it players, barring any home-grown talent. Is it possible that a player can fail or shine, dependant upon the other players in the team, the tactics, the manager...the coach...the fans...all of those things, even? It is possible to watch pretty much any game in Europe these days, this lad has seemingly gone unnoticed for most of his career. He might tear it up over here and nobody will be more pleased than me if he does, I just happen to think the odds on that happening are very slim.

singe Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Right, this has been done to death now. Let's put it to bed and see how he does. So to solve it I propose a fee. Everyone put in £1. If he is brilliant, makes more than 15 apps, or generally regarded as a Nepo or better, the fees those who thought he would be a disaster or underwhelmed give their fees to Playershare. Those who think he needs to be given a chance, thin k he will be fine or could be a hidden but he turns out to be the next Ollie Banks or Menig pay their fee to Playershare. If you are not prepared to join, then £1 fee to Playershare for every post mentioning him. I'm sceptical he will prove to be anything so that is where my £1 is going.

Because, to the best of my knowledge, no one has said all is fine, but there are plenty who have said to give everyone a chance before condemning them even though there are some problems. That's the difference. However, if you want to run down every move that the club/owner/manager etc makes, go ahead. At least you'll get plenty of attention. PS - I find it somewhat ironic that your totally negative attitude is supported by an avatar of the least qualified manager in living memory.

As an ex scout I've been in this situation many times before, it's because players like David Eyres are snubbed by many clubs simply because of their age. I had this problem when I recommended Eamon O'Keefe from Mossley many years ago when I was told he was good, but at 26yo far too old. 2 years later he was playing top flight and international football. I've not seen this French lad, but as soon as I have I'll give my opinion purely on his ability. Edited July 4, 2018 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the ones that go unnoticed are the ones that do the steady jobs in the engine room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 It really is farcical that the Trust can neither deny nor confirm whether the staff at the club have been paid yet on the 4th of the following month. Can I ask how much time you need before you can confirm a basic request or are you protecting the new owner from the wrath of some of our fans. How as a football club are we going to move forward when the same old problems go on and the Trust seem content to be party to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
