I was wondering who was Steve talking about when he said in the interview that we had an offer accepted for an Italian striker before having cruciate injury.
I asked my sister who knows all Italian teams and players and by the description she thinks he was Pavoletti.
I didn't see this in the rumours to be fair. But if it was really him I think we dodged a bullet. The guy surely knows where the goal is, but is now 31, just came back from a cruciate, and playing his 1st game, ruptured it again.
Of all the thing we didn't need...

It is incredible how many people have been suckered in by this carefully constructed 'interview'. Very cleverly designed to make it seem like any criticism of our transfer policy is hysterical and overblown.

The interview was good PR and well presented, this doesn't change my view that the last few transfer windows have been nothing short of a disaster IMO. Let us just hope lessons have been learnt and we now go forward but I feel new investors are required asap.

Parish contradicted himself and events, as most BS’ers do if they’re around for long enough or let them keep talking. The best was transfers were blocking academy players. We are not customers for poundland or any other crummy outlet although I sometimes think we are that.

Some of it is. But our recruitment has been inarguably poor since promotion: we've overpaid on ageing players with no resale value, failed to sign young players (this is because it might stop our own from coming through? really??), and created an imbalanced squad with too few creative players. We need to change the profile of the players we sign, and we need to improve our scouting so that we can identify better players. That should have been done by now.

Those are reasonable criticisms, and lumping them in with the demands of the screaming morons on Twitter is one of the ways that the video deflects criticism.

Quite right and I'll add a bucketful of ignorance to that as well.
