Wonder if we're genuinely interested or if it's just agent led speculation, Dykes style. No doubt he'll end up at QPR
West Brom, Palace, Derby, Bristol City and Middlesbrough all linked with him too. Don’t fancy our chances out of that lot.....
If you Google his name, there's barely a club that hasn't been linked with him in the last 3 months. Can't see this one sadly.
I think anybody linked in the lead up to the window opening is unlikely. There wasn't a great deal of speculation around Kane, James, Christie-Davies and Brittain until it was done or virtually done. Compared to ongoing links with Dykes, Bonne, Whiteman and Kulenovic, which never happened.
Were the scouts sacked by the club, or did they resign when they learned of the new criteria that they'd have to assess?
If we are to be successful with the youth model we are so reliant on then these types of players need to be identified before they knock 20+ goals in because quite simply we cannot compete with other clubs. Easier said than done I know that but this is where we should be seriously investing in our scouting network.
I was thinking of this model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_52 I was visiting Heidelberg Castle once, when I was in Germany on a business trip, I heard the sound of a piston-engined plane, and I looked up to see one of these flying over. Interestingly, just across the Neckar river from the castle is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidelberg_Thingstätte
Is this the next player we put a bid in for that would shatter our record transfer sum, to then hear nothing else about?
