Transfer policy

[jeremyfulham]

This 2 boxes ticked policy for new signings I suggest one of the boxes that MUST be ticked before signing new players is does he have a heart/backbone !
Minimum requirement for me is how much does a player " want it " FTID  049:gif

[Woolly Mammoth]

That is the most important box.

[Bassey the warrior]

Agreed. Or in Bryan's case, a box to tick swap for Targett if he's a crock.

[Jamie88]

an IQ test wouldn't go amiss either!

[Baszab]

How about a box for "are they suitable for PL"
Or
"Can the manager fit them into his team "

[Woolly Mammoth]

How about a box to box their ears.

My thoughts on this issue are that the system works but is also fundamentally flawed.

Stay with me here.

We know it has been reported that the stats need to like the player and the scouts need to say yes they are a good player.

I think the problem is there isn't a pragmatic approach. For example Anguissa is a good player in my opinion (I also liked matt smith, maybe its just me) but he is also a CDM who has never played on his own as CDM. He has always been part of a pair.

Stats say - good player.
Scouts say - good payer

Doesn't fit into the system.

Is it potentially the scouts have a box for yes and no but no comments for exceptions? E.G good player, not for our formation.

Good point.
