but where can this sort of general discussion about our transfers and preferences go?

Literally anywhere else.

Edit for clarity: I obviously mean anywhere else in the transfer section. Talking about our transfer policy in the golf thread is probably not a good idea.

Thirty three :playful:

haha ;)

Half assumed it was worthy of the legendary stick, but I appreciate the conversation about it from both you and Rob!

Happy to message you privately on it but I know others have continued to bring it up as well so thought something here (where it's the biggest problem) was the best place to put it.

The problem I see with the player threads is if you do start talking about 'general news' or your own Football Manager ideals, you derail the thread and people are generally quite good at giving you shit for it! And, quite rightly, because people do go in a specific thread to read about 'that' player.

I do think just a general Spurs transfer thread would become probably your most contributed to and save you a headache, but if it's about server usage and financial implications because of how this thread used to be, then absolutely get it and sorry for bringing it up for the millionth time!

Please don't! :p

This is exactly the opposite of "saving us a headache". We had one (not that long ago) and what happened is that it just turned into a second ITK discussion thread. Everyone posted everything in there as it was less strict than the ITK thread but it was buried under tons of crap and was a huge mess.

We're absolutely fine as we currently are. If you're talking about us needing a new midfielder, it'll probably fit in one of the many threads we have on midfield options. I'd be shocked if you couldn't find an existing thread to fit 99% of the stuff you want to post.

Well, to be fair, they both make you extremely frustrated and cause you to swear at little, white, dome-shaped things.

ali z: Not great news but I heard today we have tried for a few and getting nowhere, Poch will only accept players he wants, so I expect nobody. Think any incoming will be due to a player poch likes becoming available or a punt on a younger player, means major work to be done in the summer, personally think we are making a mistake.

Scouts need to up there game and find more players poch happy with.

Fucking hell. I don't understand, how can there not be another AM. / Striker or CM available that Poch is happy with? We literally have no Central Midfielders and our back up striker to Kane is a donkey. Even Ryan Babel on loan would be better than Llorente. :banghead:

even if a player poch wants becomes available, it still needs levy to pay what's needed and i've yet to be convinced he'll actually do what it takes to get a 'marquee' player.

going to struggle to put out a competitive eleven if things continue at this rate.

Well lets try harder for the players Poch wants rather than trying for players he doesn't then... why would we waste time, resource and the financials on players the manager didn't want...

It always sounds like the excuse for not bringing someone in is because the manager doesnt want said player/s. Or the players that Poch wants are unattainable. When we hear 'unattainable', we know that often that just means the Club isn't willing to spend the money on fees/ wages it would take. The same happened under AVB.

Didn't expect anyone at the start. Only vaguely figured we had a chance at a player like Malcom and the general silence of ITKs of late has made me think nothing is going so AliZ's info seems to add up. Injuries or not, money or not, it doesn't feel like our scouts, Poch, and recruitment are all on the same page.

I suspect that something has to change if we really believe we will do better in the summer operating the way we do. I already stated that our preferred is not their preferred. That is why I stated that challenging times for the club and Poch. We can’t get his preferred, he has to go have a long hard look at himself. Not a criticism, but observation.

Why don't the chaps in charge of the money go and take a long hard look at themselves within the context of our squad in it's current state and the miracles Poch has worked, and stump up for Pochs preferred on this occasion.

This only ends one way I think.
