It was also reported in the Chronicle either last week or the week before that we had rebuffed an advance.
We paid more than that for him. In today's market I wouldn't even start talking until that offer was doubled. Mad I know.....
Having watched both the Eredivisie (tier 1) and the Eerste Divisie (tier 2), even though that's a number of years ago, I think it's a good signing. I found League One to be more or less on par with the top end of the Eerste Divisie.
When will we be signing hs mates Bryan, Ermintrude & Dylan then? I've heard Zebedee is out of our price range, on premier league money... On a serious note, the club have said he was the number one target after 12 months or so tracking him so they have set their stall out to show us the spreadsheet still works.
“Our recruitment department has been following Kenny for the last 12 months or so. They have worked exceptionally hard on finding out as much information as possible and producing reports. We presented Kenny’s profile to Daniel [Stendel] as soon as he arrived to the Club and he quickly became the club’s number one summer target." So Stendel is involved in recruitment after all by the look of it.
Oh come on Spider. I've no idea if he'll fit the bill but there's people on here that have been whinging about the lack of signings for weeks and as soon as we make one it's "well he might be crap". Can't win.
Its not that 'he might be crap' its just that people hope that we avoid another situation like with Mallan and Knasmullner. We will never really know how good they could have been.
Well I'll never understand the whole Knasmullner thing. It was bizarre from start to finish. Hopefully that's something that won't be repeated.
