Fuck me, talk about double standards........

How come you're allowed to be critical and express doubts about the players we're signing but when I did it, you branded me a negative bastard who hated BWFC?

Because I'm not a neurotic twat that sees negative in everything bwfc does

Boggers has a point.

he's only 22 and to break into the first team at Madrid is nigh on impossible, anyone who's on Madrid's books even at the B team must have something about them surely?

The Madrid club doctor could probably start for us.

Are you could say that anyone who signs for us must be crap?

We are in desperate trouble and if we haven't got money we should be using every other resource at our disposal. In this case I think it may be our contacts that have come into play. Osede cites Hierro as a childhood hero and Ivan is well in with Real so a word from either or both of them plus a chance to play first team football might have swung it.
Sure we don't know how good he'll turn out to be, but the signs are good and he looks like an excellent gamble under the circumstances.

Neil has to roll the dice and Madine, Osede, Kuipers etc all seem worth a shot - who else could we get on a free who has power, pace and quality?

Similar feelings to Boggers in that a lot of people seem to be getting excited based on the fact he's been playing for Madrid, which doesn't always guarantee success.

As I said previously I'm glad to see us signing this type of player, capable of exceeding expectations and being quality for us. Rather than known championship journey men.

That ones for Madine too, always impressed me playing for the opposition. Motivated and out of trouble I think he could really kick on.

I wonder if paying big money for a player is any more of a guarantee of success?
Neil's gambling which makes it even more exciting to see what he creates as there are no guarantees.
Like you, I'm chuffed he's targeted a few young players with decent potential. It could go horribly wrong but there's also a chance they turn out to be inspired signings.

Lets hope he is the gem.

How much do they want for a transfer fee?

Might do a swap. The guy is 68.

Still bring the average age of our squad down

Tends to lose his teeth on a regular basis though.

Palacios fails trial - recurring hamstring injury.

Much better now than later.

It appears that this is his 3rd knock back.

No I don't think money has any guarantee of success but equally I don't think coming through a top clubs academy does. But as I said in glad it's a risk we're taking.

I'm feeling positive about all of our signings so far actually, even Madine. Always impressed me when we've come up against him and given the right motovation and staying fit I think he could really push on for us. If he keeps his head down I think we'll look at that as a great signing on a free.

Looks like Osedes done anyway so we now need at least a full back and a striker before the season starts.
