Even if it were, it’s exactly the sort of “end of the road” player we all moan about when we sign them.

I want to see young, athletic, pacey players with potential signing.

I don’t see Brighton and Brentford signing has beens.

The only realistic model for us as a struggling club with a poor owner is to identify decent quality youngsters who we can sell on.

I really wonder if our club has any nous in foreign markets, I suspect not?

This is an interesting read about Brighton and how they’ve gone about things.

It’s a pity we didn’t try this route after two or three years of Premier League stability.

I agree, but this takes time and it’s pretty difficult to start just unearthing gems
Historically we don’t even play youngsters and just alienate them

No coincidence that Ashworth worked at Brighton

But all that said I’d take anyone especially an experienced head at the back tbh, we look shocking
Not often you get a young centre half who’s that good, last one we picked up on the cheap was Curtis Davies probably
