I'm seeing some of the most ridiculous opinions this season (we all have them and have had them but something seems to have changed since Wilder left)
People only rating potential signings if they cost a lot of money
People judging the standard of a player on where we've bought them from
People expecting us to spend millions on players
People loving players one week and hating them the next
It's like some bloody QAnon nonsense
A lot of money now, in this league, for just about any club is £1 million. This is the new reality.
Some of our best signings have cost very little
Recently: Stevens, Fleck, McGoldrick, Basham, JOC, McGoldrick
Some of our most disappointing have cost a lot of money
Berge, McBurnie, Mousset, Burke, Robinson, Freeman
I'd rather get promoted spending nothing than promoted spending £50 million.
Some of my favourite players have cost relatively little and/or been signed from smallish clubs:
Alan Kelly - Preston
Brian Deane - Doncaster
Tony Agana - Watford
Mel Rees - West Brom
A clever team finds potential for cheap and helps the player realise that potential. They bring youth players through and mix them in. It doesn't matter where someone is playing or whether they're playing. Irrelevant. So many other reasons at play.
It's like saying Ndiaye was shit at the start of the season because he couldn't get in our team. Stop judging things on purely face value.
Since relegation (or while we're up) we seem to have attracted a fair number of billy big bollocks who seem to thing we're entitled to success because we've spent a lot of money or we got promoted before. I assume these might be floating Wednesday fans because it's starting to sound a lot like Owlstalk on here.
