No Journeymen

[BritishSteel]

Always a lot of suggestions at this time of year for who could come in and do a job for us. Looks like Chris has set his stall out early though in regards to recruitment.

The most ridiculous headline I've seen in a while. That is absolutely NOT what Wilder has said. You do realise half of our players could be labelled "journeymen"? The players even made a song with a line about how they were called "journeymen", for Christ's sake. It's one of the laziest lines you can possibly use to denigrate a player. Apologies BritishSteel, not necessarily aimed at you, but that headline has wound me up!

Wonder what category CW would put McG in?

Smoke and mirrors me thinks..........

The article is about what he wants to do this coming season , not what has gone before.

As for you claiming it is not what Chris has said , I would think the fact that he has been directly quoted saying it by James Shield and then allowing it to go to print would suggest otherwise.

Have you read the article? He literally says "it will be the same approach as over the last three years. Just with better players." And nowhere does Wilder say "journeyman".

I agree, he didn't say that word. He also goes on to say that it will be the same approach as the last 3 years, but just with better (journeymen) players.

Snap, LB89.

I thought I would share the article as it does reveal some insight into the recruitment process for the coming season. It says that Wilder is looking at "Assets who can grow with the club " . This would suggest he will not be looking at " expensive one season wonders " as said earlier in the article.

If you have a problem with James Shield using the word "Journeymen" then take it up with him.

I am sure that if Chris had a problem with the article or sees "No Journeymen" as a misquote then it would never have made it to print.

To be fair the article is at best enigmatic, and at worst misleading. I'm not entirely sure what are Chris's words and what are assumptions by James.
'same approach as last 3 years' could easily include Journeymen.

That’s not how it works. Wilder has no veto, input or even notice of a newspaper headline. Shields wouldn’t write it either. It’s not a question of ‘misquote’. It isn’t a quote at all. The content has no such or similar phrase.
