There’s not much more we can do really?
We’ve got all the money in the world to spend but we can’t.
Whether it’s this fella or not, he’s the level we’ll be getting in.

To be fair the best Championship players are often “no marks”. Younger British players with something to prove or foreign talents keen to show they can do it in England too. How many of the Leeds or Brentford squads would their fans have had to Google before they signed? Probably a lot more than our current squad with its show ponies and former Premier League players on the decline.

I would prefer that we went in for Ryan Manning from QPR.

Would like to see us go in for Barry Douglas at Leeds - been out of favour there the last few months but a very good left back at this level and was part of the Wolves promotion side that smashed the division and got plenty of assists and goals along the way.
Not sure if we could afford a permanent transfer but Leeds might be open to a loan.

I had to look him up but if we are after him then
1.He's been a first choice left back at Sheff Weds for 3 seasons, they wanted him to stay and he turned them down 2. I'm certain any player we sign now will be fully vetted by O'Neill himself and he deserves our utmost confidence.
So I'd be perfectly happy

"too old, too shit, too injured, too not-approved-of-by bayernoatcake " etc

Saw him linked on Twitter, I didn't know much about him - so I thought I'd head on here where our resident know-it-alls are.
If MON wants him, I think he's got more than enough credit in the bank with us as fans to back him and the player.

No smoke though? And the ex Man City scout seems to have previous, so we'll see.

For such an important position, surely we could try making use of the loan market to bring someone pacy and young from a Premiership team perhaps?

We shall see! tbf, we've all been scathing (some less than others) about Tymon in the past and now, he's suddenly the new Roberto Carlos
So yes, as mentioned, we probably need to give MoN and scouting supremo man their due and let them crack on.
And if we've never heard of them, it's fine by me if they cut the mustard.

For such an important position, surely we could try making use of the loan market to bring someone pacy and young from a Premiership team perhaps? Why don't we give MON our version of the 'Left Back Profile'. He (presumably 'he'?) should be - 1. Young (between ? and ?) 2. Pacy (can run all game) 3, Can defend (tackles anything above grass) 4. Can cross a ball with his left foot 5. Can cross a ball with his left foot on the run 6. Ace penalty taker 7. Must be above 5ft 9ins 8. Possibly built on Pejic lines 9. Shows ability in less than 25 viewings Not necessarily in the above order. Should set the scouts a reasonable problem.

Under 40 2. can out-sprint a milk-float 3. has a vague sense of positioning 4. can kick a ball in the general direction he's facing 5. can kick a moving ball without falling over 6. knows what a penalty is 7. must be able to stand up straight 8. not made of glass 9. has played at least 25 competitive games in the last 5 years

Looks like a big-Standard championship player. If this is the pond we are fishing in, then the 2020/21 season will be all about consolidation. This will be 3/4 year project, which is fine but I worry about FFP unless they change the rules.

What is the punishment for breaching FFP? A points deduction? Fine? If it’s the latter wouldn’t it be worth a gamble breaching it and going for promotion? Seems very apt for a betting company.
