Stefanos Kapino, Greek goalkeeper from Olympiakos, 9 caps for Greece, could well be signing...

There was a huge row in the changing room with the previous coach following a defeat.
He was disciplined and left out of the side.

Was his contract cancelled before deadline Sniffer?

I believe it was yes.

Plenty of Champions League experience and he was on Manchester United's radar not so long ago. He turned in a fantastic performance a few weeks ago when Greece drew in Belgium in a European Qualifier.

100% sellling Osborne and Breteon to fund some more experienced players in the summer.
Brereton for a proven goal scorer would get us up

Are Costel and Kapino better than Smith? Yes they are. It's about improving, fook sentiment it hasn't and won't get us anywhere. I don't care who leaves if we are bringing in better in that position. We will never move forward with a soft approach. Trust Aitor he knows what he is doing.

How do you know this guy is quality? If this was a Montanier or Warburton signing you would be bemoaning it and questioning whether it was a Marinakis signing.

It's not all black and white. There is a time/longevity element to consider as well.
It isn't necessarily wise to bring in players that will be decent for a couple of seasons max and ship out all the ones that might develop into good players over the next ten (and also increase in value over that time). Taking a snapshot of quality/contribution right now is not the full picture.
Losing any of Brereton, Osborn, Worrall and Smith, even for players who might be considered better right now, could be both short-sighted and unsustainable. The way we and others sack managers, though, long-sightedness and sustainability aren't high in any manager's list of priorities.
It is sense, not sentiment.
Most of us have advocated bringing through our quality youth. I don't want to see that policy completely abandoned.

yes you are right because they signed an absolute bag of shit. i'm not just talking about this player ..players karanka has signed in general so far.
he is roughly the same age as smith . 5 inches taller with international experience . good competition if he comes.
