Jack Dawe Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 ....so said some lad on talksport radio just now. A guest in the studio, not a ****ing idiot calling in, so therefore, he knows what he's talksporting about. And before that, he said Lee Johnson will manage in the Premier League with Bristol City, or with someone else. So, there you have it. Stop yer ****ing moaning and take it from talksport: our recruitment is very, very intelligent. And Lee Johnson is heading for the Prem. Thanks, talkingSPORT radio.

Meh Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 With somebody else? Not having that - he is staying forever if I have anything to do with it. No season will be complete without an unlucky run of draws and defeats to look forward too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 The recruitment strategy comes from a very intelligent man - Steve Lansdown and he's employed professional people to implement and develop it. And to think I read a post on here recently from someone whose name I didn't recognise calling for the club to be taken over so that "we can push for the PL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should appoint people with documented knowledge of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's intelligent if they're the ambitious players who DO want to get promoted. Not so much if they're the ambitious players who DON'T want to......

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Not heard the full clip, or the context- but I can see where the person who said it is coming from in SOME respects. Have we got a squad with a good age range? Yes. Are we signing lots of 'proven' yet expensive with no guarantees players? No. Can a squad with our age range, grow together and gain cohesion, chemistry if it sticks together? 100% yes! Do some players who don't work out have resale- or at least some retention of value, even if not all of it? Yes they do! Compared to our last 3-4 years in the Championship until the inevitable relegation under McInnes/O'Driscoll, it's a dream our recruitment- so yeah in CERTAIN ways it is intelligent indeed. Not perfect, but then what is? Excluding loanees- be they in or out, and indeed goalies and academy players- e.g. Bryan, Kelly, Reid- I can say our squad in terms of signings has a good profile even taking them out of the equation. 18-24- 6 players (Brownhill, O'Dowda, Walsh, Eliasson, , Bakinson and Hinds). 25-28- 10 players (Flint, Baker, Wright, Smith, Diedhiou, Taylor, Paterson, Pack, Djuric and Magnússon) 29-31- 2 players (Hegeler and Pisano) 32 and upwards- 1 player- O'Neil That's a fantastic age profile for a squad, for signings. 100% it is- in some respects, we have recruited superbly. It is often said these days players- outfield players this is- don't peak until late 20's. So, based on that alone we have a relatively inexperienced squad with great capacity for growth and crucially growing and gelling together, as a unit.
