Ah yes but..... every single player in the league had never played in a championship game once.......
Indeed they do Hector but how many of our U23's held down a regular place in the first-team in 2018/19. Last season we had young players on the bench who were never gonna get a minutes on the pitch, they were just fillers because we had no alternatives.
Yeah he is imo, watched him a fair bit for Charlton last season and Arsenal fans are pretty furious he was sold actually.Genghers wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 7:39 am Is he? Never heard of him other than on here.
Derby got around ffp by selling their ground to themselves at an inflated value. No such luck this year, and with a significantly weaker squad they're playing a dangerous game throwing money around without bringing cash in.
Who's Matt Clarke as well?
Thing is, if they aren't Bielsa-type players then we're not going for them, are we?Cjay wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 10:13 am Yeah he is imo, watched him a fair bit for Charlton last season and Arsenal fans are pretty furious he was sold actually.
Clarke has been one of the standing cbs in the EFL last few years.
Both far more proven then Ben White.
Dont know how teams do it, we always seem to be skint but teams like Derby throw money around every year.
Both of them are regarded as players who are comfortable on the ball tbf, i think they would have fit in perfectly. Lets be honest they both cost decent money and this summer that isnt something we seem keen on paying. Would be interested to know if MB was ever offered them though since we were linked to both, not convinced by White at all but hope to be wrong.Genghers wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 10:35 am Thing is, if they aren't Bielsa-type players then we're not going for them, are we?
White is clearly rated and Bielsa thinks he'll fit the scheme, which is more important than perceived Championship pedigree.
Because we are now working within our means. Can understand when Radz gets frustrated about stuff like Wolves with the agent links and Sheff W aand Derby selling their stadiums to themselves. It's clearly a bit of clever accounting to get around FFP, but it's the sort of thing the EFL should be on top of, not teams watching training!
You think they would have but clearly Bielsa wasn't interested because White was his target.Cjay wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 1:11 pm Both of them are regarded as players who are comfortable on the ball tbf, i think they would have fit in perfectly.

Got no sympathy with Radz tbf, the owners voted in the new rules, what they are doing is legal, if Mel Morris wants to effectively give Derby £80mil then thats upto him, wish our owner was inclinced to do the same. I agreed with Radz over Wolves till he said he would do the same then didnt.
The new rules were voted in by the EFL teams so cant really complain.
Why are we not doing clever accounting instead of banging on about FFP? If its legal then do it. Its easy for clubs to use FFP as an excuse but its plain as day that we could spend if we wanted but it would require Radz to use his own money more, which he doesn't want to.
Really hope we have a few more players coming in soon, fingers crossed.
How much has Austin cost the Baggies ?leic white 63 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 2:25 pm west brom sign charlie austin from southampton , 2 yr deal
Warnock will probably suss us out lobbing the ball over our central defence & down the flanks, also dreading the bombardment. We'll have to take our chances when we play the bluebirds or else it will be more points dropped. We don't do clean sheets
Two wins with Jason Pearce at the heart of their defence
Was hoping a prem side would take a punt on Bowen
Boro' go from bad to worse. Brentford will make the play-offs this season, made some shrewd signings even though they have lost Maupey, spent more than us of course!
Wigan don't travel well apart from Elland Road. Still expect us to beat the Latics next Saturday
Just like Leeds I still expect the baggies to be challenging
