Our recruitment team have a better idea of our budget for the summer than you. How do you know they are not aiming for better players than Laurent? Remember we announced the signing of MGW later than June 2021I hope they do, they get paid for it after all but all these 'targets' we had have gone elsewhere. Our pre-season starts in 3 weeks and Hecky clearly said he wanted some in before that and i hope we do but so far our targets are going elsewhere. So i'm entitled to say what i like about a
our recruitment team and if you don't like it, don't comment
Harry Darling is certainly one that would’ve improved our side and for a decent price apparently. There’s no harm in saying so.
I hope they do, they get paid for it after all but all these 'targets' we had have gone elsewhere.
We put in an offer for Callum O’Dowda. Clearly a target.Who says they were targets?
Local journos that know fuck all, click bait SM sites, our fans?
Never ever once said I know more than our recruitment team? Never once did I mention myself knowing the budget? I’m hoping they are targeting better players than Laurent. I’m merely disappointed as I believe he is the type of player who would improve our team massively and who also is a free transfer. Who would you sign? And yeah he came on deadline day and look how slow the start of our season was…. You do realise the season starts at the end of July, so again the earlier the better when it comes to new signingsOur recruitment team have a better idea of our budget for the summer than you.

I leave this to our recruitment teamWho would you sign?
He was a free transferWe put in an offer for Callum O’Dowda. Clearly a target.

Yeah quite a few times actually, MK were on the telly loads last season mateSeen him play much have you![]()
So we’re just after loanees again? BrilliantOur recruitment team have a better idea of our budget for the summer than you. How do you know they are not aiming for better players than Laurent? Remember we announced the signing of MGW later than June 2021
The club said they'd got a bid in for a player and offered another a deal. Brilliant?So we’re just after loanees again? Brilliant
I’m simply responding to the point raised. There won’t be many better players available on frees than Josh Laurent this season for us, so I think it’s likely to be loanees.The club said they'd got a bid in for a player and offered another a deal. Brilliant?
What’s your point? he was a targetHe was a free transfer
We didn't make an offer for him. We made an offer to.himWhat’s your point? he was a target
I don't know, RickySo we’re just after loanees again? Brilliant
Pre season for most, starts on Wednesday morning……….don't give up hopePreseason starts in about 10 hours from now
You think I’m Ricky? BrilliantI don't know, Ricky

In the last few weeks of the season… They had 2 play off games and were on telly against the pigs and Plymouth where he scored a free kick and hat trick respectivelyNo they weren't.
At least if you're going to argue try and be a little bit factual.

So 4 games now counts as loads does it?
May as well just admit you're a WUM and be done with it!
what have I got to do, produce a full length scout report?
He’s the L1 POTY for christs sake
If you’d seen him play or watched what he can do on YouTube you’d probably understand the hype around him. You haven’t so you don’t…
It was Scott Twine so he was luke warm.Harry Darling was not League One POTY.
Maybe go back and read the original post of yours that I replied to that started this.
Whoops, was on about Scott Twine as was talking about him on another side of the forum and couldn’t be arsed to scroll up.Harry Darling was not League One POTY.

Quite obviously got mixed up with my MK Dons star playersIt was Scott Twine so he was luke warm.

However my point still stands about Darling, the most impressive of the defenders against Wednesday, they only really lost as the keeper had a more. Plays out from the back well, decent aerially against Gregory and then against Jephcott for Plymouth which stands him in good stead at this level. Decent young player, one we could’ve looked at and who would’ve improved us for a seemingly decent price.
What exactly is your issue with people saying that?
So you’ve decided in your infinite wisdom that just because someone thinks x is a good player, would improve us, and thinks we’ve missed out by not signing them (or attempting to, whether we were after them or not) - they’re not allowed to say so?OK I'll try and be as clear as possible and this is definitely aimed at a lot more people than you.
Now I know there will be posters on this board and on social media who do watch a lot of football and will actually take a mental note of various players that play in those games. Those posters will be in the minority though.
Every transfer window then follows the exact same process and is used as yet another stick to beat the club with. I actually find it quite embarrassing at times that I follow the same club.
We're linked with X player though either local media or some "football rumours" social media site that is more than likely some spotty kid sat in his bedroom playing football manager. Both are equally as clueless generally.
Our fans then get their hopes up and go on about "how great a signing they'd be" even though that's probably the 1st time they'd ever heard of them and haven't ever seen them play.
The inevitable YouTube compilation is then posted and they're straight out with the lube ready to knock out a posh one.
Said player then signs for someone else and there's uproar, club's skint, clubs useless, Poundland Prince, Bettis is a snake etc etc.
All of this with absolutely no proof whatsoever that we were ever in for said player.
You, me and the cleaning lady may think a player would be a good signing. That doesn't mean they would be for a multitude of reasons and I think, and hope, that the club are aware of pretty much every player linked with us as it's their job to.
So you’ve decided in your infinite wisdom that just because someone thinks x is a good player, would improve us, and thinks we’ve missed out by not signing them (or attempting to, whether we were after them or not) - they’re not allowed to say so?
I agree people going hell for leather complaining and expleting about the club not making signings is daft, and when they go mad about the club not signing x despite at best tenuous links it’s also a little immature/mental.
But what is the issue with people thinking we’ve missed out by not signing such a player who they think would improve us and saying so? And it’s ok saying “leave it to our recruitment team” but they haven’t got the best record of it have they. And if we aren’t allowed to debate anything about the club what’s the point of a forum?
Also since it’s ‘people like me’ - would you like to point me anywhere where I’ve slagged the club, Bettis, the Prince off?
I’m very realistic about our situation. We aren’t exactly aflush with money due to our wasteful premier league stint. Hence the reason the 2 players I’ve suggested to be good signings are League One players.
