How long before we announce an incoming now that lookmans gone?

And to be honest CB is arguably the hardest position for a teenager to play in. It is literally the one position you need experience in (reading of the game) but I agree Gibson does look a prospect. I’d really like him to go on loan this season preferably to a championship club to gain that experience and push for a start in the first team next season.

...as i’ve explained, a loan wouldn’t be what i’d seek but i suppose it could work. Garbutt and Galloway went backwards on loan.

Sky reporting initial 16m plus add ons to make it 22 seems low with all other transfers and he's a good talent

It’s all about selecting the right club. Galloway and certainly Garbutt don’t have the talent that Gibson has in my eyes. Nevertheless you are right their loan moves derailed their careers but I fail to see how Gibson is going to get the experience to challenge for a first team place, playing for the under 23s. Typically the RS have developed the careers of Wilson and Kent with astute loan moves, let’s hope Gibson could benefit the same.

Collins, Bakayoko, Simonsen, Degn, Gemmill, Mark and Steve Hughes, Nyarko, Naysmith, Tal, Linderoth.

He brought some utter trash in - Koeman-levels of trash signings.

Even of those bought though mate, was Gemmill a bad signing given the price? Or Naysmith? Linderoth? We paid next to nothing for all of them and they all "did a job".

Hope so as would be dissapointed with that fee

If that's whats being reported by Sky you know it's untrue. I suspect the figure will be higher. We will have no way of knowing though.

Hes not premier league bound though and money isn't as flung around in Germany as much as it is here.....I guess.

 

[Manx Blue]

Lads, forget the money, we’re swimming in it.

 

[Nymzee]

German media saying €18-20m with €2.5m addons if I translated properly.

I totally agree with you there, sir. I think loaning youth to the right club is almost as important as buying a player.

The loan club needs to play our way, stable chairman, unlikely managerial sacking, dearth of players at the loan club in the loanee players position. Also a recall clause with the understanding it won’t be activated unless the manager changes or the player isn’t getting even considered for game time.

If these criteria aren’t met, keep the player.

That would be my ethos anyway... I’m sick of us loaning our lads to whoever, and them stalling their careers, because many of them don’t recover.
