    The big shift this year is a lot of our signings have had previous Championship (or higher) experience.

    Okonkwo
    McNamara Bindon
    Skipp Chalobah
    Grant Alli

    compared to the previous summer

    Kaminski
    Bell Burke
    JRC

    .
    That also highlights from 12 months ago that just because players have ‘Championship experience’, that doesn’t mean they’ll deliver ‘Championship quality’.  

    Only Bell did that from the previous 4. Let’s hope we get a better return this year. 


    I respectfully disagree, Burke’s fitness has been frustrating but no way is his quality L1. Personal problems have affected TK’s performance but I’d argue his shot stopping at points in the season won us matches that kept us up. JRS is the bigger disappointment. He has the ability but his pace and strength is lacking for most divisions.

    Hats off to stjohnshill! Passed on info without hindering any of our transfers. Well done.
    If only some posters on here could actually understand the fine line the ITK have to walk.

    Bless them, I don’t think they’ll ever get it.

    A fully fit Burke, not that that has ever been seen, is still not good enough.
    Blaming Kaminski's constantly poor performances on personal problems is a joke. He probably lost us 10 times the points that any of his saves (it's what goalkeepers are supposed to do!) made us.

    No, he was never going to join once he failed a part of the medical and his former agent started asking for payment on top of the fees we were already paying. 

    When the club realised how messy it was getting, combined with the fact that the medical issue (whatever it may be) was adding extra risk, we decided the hassle and the near £5m outlay, plus making him one of the highest earners, wasn't worth it.

    I wish people would stop just peddling any old rubbish, trying to make the club look incompetent, when almost everything they're doing right now points in the opposite direction
