Thing is, we're not signing players as a means of entertaining the fans, but in order to construct the most efficient and effective squad possible. However long that takes. One suspects that has not always been the case at all clubs, especially where an owner, chairman or manager has been seeking to curry favour with restless supporters. Also, I much prefer our silent methods to the extended pursuit circus approach, which attracts other suitors and often ends in frustration, accompanied by disdain towards whoever the club does eventually sign. How nice to turn up at a new job and everyone says you're not as good as the person we really wanted! |  |
