KMc input on transfers 16:36 - Feb 2 with 805 views | LA_Tractor_Boy | Does anyone know how much input KMc has on transfers? I know he has final sign-off before a player joins, but with the exception of perhaps Taylor and Philogene, I don't think he actually identifies players. My understanding is he gives our recruitment team the player profile details and they find players that meet his criteria. I guess my point is, surely when it came to replacing Hladky, the profile would have included: comfortable with the ball at his feet, must not have brain farts etc. I just can't believe that McKenna actually watched Muric play for Burnley. |  | | |  |

KMc input on transfers on 16:54 - Feb 2 with 704 views | sjg | A lot of players we sign are players that played academy football at the same time as he was involved in it - Muric and Delap at City, Scarlett at Tottenham, Clarke at Arsenal, other Clarke at Leeds etc. I’d never spotted it until a mate pointed it out to me the other day but there is a weird trend where most of our English signings seem to be the same age |  | |  |

By the sounds of it, he identifies the qualities of the players he requires but it's Ashton and the scounting team who decide who best fits. |  |

My guess is that he might have been given more influence than that, in order to persuade him to stay last summer. |  | |  |
