We should be taking a punt with more rough diamonds/players showing potential but not sure what budget we have to compete for these lads. Imagine RP would have gone into meltdown if we paid a down payment of £20K to Chester, judging by the reaction to bringing MFT in.

Pretty sure we could have got him before Chester did so no need for 20k or a meltdown. Let's hope the penny is starting to drop and it's not too late.

Big Mike is one of these players and look at the meltdown we had on here when we signed him. I agree with you that we need to be looking for more of them, but for every diamond there is several turds.

Hopefully we’re looking to buy/sign players based on whether they’ll help us win promotion rather than whether they’ll get a good reaction on RP!

Reading RP recently that seems to be case.

By who though.
I had suggested him 6 months before he was here on trial.
One with potential I think I described him and worth a go as would probably realise a sell on fee.

Thats one of the things that should be in ethos of the club.
We buy from lower down but have to sell to higher up.

Peterborough have done brilliantly at it over the years and we should be closer to it or at least a stepping stone for these lads. Maybe, this is something Graham B can bring to the club if he has been monitoring lads from the lower leagues.

It's all a gamble and this years set up might work better for Deverdics so therefore effectively a free player who wasn't very good last year. Sometimes, it's not about the players, it's about the formations that suit them.

Arguably only one of the Wales team would get in the Belgium side 2 years ago but sprit, cohesion and playing to their strengths won the day. Therefore, I'm prepared to give any player the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

However, there are far too many on here baying about budgets and ownership models and people being shite because you've
a. never heard of the them,
b. have heard of them but you've heard they were shite,
c. have seen them play but you thought they were shite in a different set up and a different club,
d. because you've never heard of them they must be cheap and therefore we're skint,
is mean spirited and smacks of being a desperate for attention know it all rather than having mystical football insight. "We won't be good enough next year" is an easy guess to make based on the fact that only 1 of 24 teams will be good enough. It effectively gives you a 95.8% certainty of being right. Hardly Nostradamus with that kind of insight.
