You do have to admire the posh ability to buy cheap sell high. They have been like a yo-yo up and down but they must be net positive on transfers.
Quick check and thats for maddison and not marriott!They have accepted a million pound plus bid today apparently
Hope they haven’t flogged Woodward to Ipswich already!
is it more and more evident that we need to find the player that is about to become a twenty goal striker. not one that is already established.
no use trying to sign stevenage's jewel in the crown. too expensive, and still a risk.
ideally we sign the next marriott who has just scored 8 in the league, but cowley believes is ready to score 25 for us next season. hopefully this is where the research and homework has been carried out.
I thought Newton looked the better of the two at our place over Xmas.
or we might redo the robinson, adam marriott, eardley approach and look to rehab a player, that if fully fit would be outside our price bracketQuestion to ask is....... how much are we investing in the scouting network,is it a pony,or a monkey whatever it is it`s not enough.
eg see Coventry city trawling non league in London and achieving gold nuggets down there for peanuts(recent Dulwich lad) plus jodi jones from Daggers..........like taking candy from a baby?
The way forward is developed scouting and a firm eyeball on non league.

When they get it right, they get it right but they've had tonnes of duff signings down the years.You do have to admire the posh ability to buy cheap sell high. They have been like a yo-yo up and down but they must be net positive on transfers.
It's an interesting point with our scouting team. Do we have one? The club site lists Dean West as head scout only but I thought he was with the youth team alongside Froggatt so is possibly trying to get new youth players only.
Do you mean like signing players from Boreham Wood?Question to ask is....... how much are we investing in the scouting network,is it a pony,or a monkey whatever it is it`s not enough.

There are few bargains at NL level anymore. That stopped about 10-12 years ago, not long after KA picked up Boyd, McLean and CMS for about £300k all in.
i agree with this. and i don't think there is any difference in bargain signings between the levels. efl, national league, and each level below are all the same... some bargains. some huge over-spends. players going upwards, players going downwards.I'm not so sure. We did alright with the likes of Woodyard and Raggett...i'm sure there are others out there. With the average managerial reign being so short i guess a lot will be looking to bring in experienced players for the here and now...so i think there is still a plentiful lake that could be fished.
