It's almost like by going for these types of players he's trying to address that in the future..... Does it ? , I like good quality young players as much as anyone but I think we’re crying out for some experience atm Pace. He's clearly trying to inject pace into a side that hasn't had any for years.....

Well whose the competition on the left? That attempted cross of Mclean's which sliced into the stand when he had all the time in the world to cross just sums him up. Most fans would play him every game, the manger loves McClean though. I think the manager recognises McClean's attributes when he's on song, but I think if there's any takers (big if) he'll be gone in the summer. Makes sense to bring Pickering/Doughty in for what would probably be the equivalent of McClean's salary......

Is he certain to get game time there? Is he certain to get it here? .

Most fans would play him every game, the manger loves McClean though. Are you sure? He is actively looking for his replacement. As I said the other day McLean is a play by numbers player - I'm here so I play this cross or pass. He continually makes the same pass or move and can't be difficult to defend against.

Didn’t he say we’ve got to speak to him so hopefully the boss can work his magic but I fear he may stay south!

If he watched today he’ll be off somewhere else unless the wheelbarrow of cash gives him back pain

You have to say the lad will surely pick Rangers over us. Hopefully it’s smokescreen and we unveil Pickering anyway

I'd still sign them both if we can. I’m sure we would if we could but I suspect Pickering is wishful thinking Think that price is well within our range if we want him

When a manager says it is up to the player it means they have chosen elsewhere.

European football playing under one of the best young managers in the game. Probably looked up to him as well as a young footballer coming through. Playing in front of 50 thousand every week. Or shall I go stoke... hmm tough one

When we were in the Premier League that position understandably gave us an advantage. However, if a London club was involved we were not a consideration and any young player hoping for England recognition would most likely be aware other clubs, whilst not necessarily bigger, had a higher profile into the England squad. Yes, we captured some surprises like Shaquiri and initially Imbula as coveted assets, but once on a level playing field we tended to lose out.
With regards to Doughty, unless we are paying him daft money over the others, or he has some long term schoolboy wish to play for Stoke or under MON, he’s never coming here. Our profile and position as a club remains below that of those we think we are superior to. Hope I’m wrong as this lad seems like a real prospect, but I just can’t see this coming off.

These kind of random odds requests are sometimes revealing - and obviously they 're sometimes meaningless!
Why anyone would have any interest in this zero-profile market, unless they thought they had a sniff of info, is anyone's guess though.........

I've changed my mind- you need to set up as a private investigator. What about rooting through Alfie Doughty's bins? There could be something revealing in there.
