And given that we often play like a team of strangers, it's like 10 or 11 new signings every week............ | |

Do we still have talent scouts working for the club?
If so, are they just concentrating on recruitment for the youth teams? | |

On a positive note, we signed more players that the Spuds did. | |

We have them. but it's enormously difficult to scout when you know there's little or no money for fees. | |
| |
| Transfer window general thread on 17:47 - Aug 9 with 2825 views | SimonJames |
So why pay them at all if there's no budget? | |

I would like to know if Penrice is still employed by the club. Besides Jackson who went to Ipswich, the other targets were definitely not identified by Penrice. On another note. If we sold Smithies for £3mill how could we not afford £350,000 for Hefele. | | | |

Hefele is quality and now we're focusing on improving other clubs players. It's a sad day for the club when players decide to join Ipswich, Forest, Wigan, Birmingham over us. | | | |

Far too much good sense from Hoos. Wisdom in W12, whatever next. | |

Penrice has primarily been a European scout through his career.
Dave Mc has suggested he is working more as part of a wider recruitment team now whereas before with Ollie he had sole say-so effectively. | | | |

I make that something like £120m Fulham have spent this summer. Extraordinary. | | | |

Mr Hoos has just said we ARE still looking to bring in a couple of loanees | | | |
| Transfer window general thread on 18:12 - Aug 9 with 2642 views | Hoopsarrr |
Right.. so in the 4 months since Ollie left he couldn't identify one european player and/or didn't suggest any players as part of this 'wider recruitment team'. [Post edited 9 Aug 2018 18:13]

That's one hell of a leap. He might've suggested 500 hundred players but perhaps we don't have any money to spend! | | | |

You're saying we can't reinvest money from the Smithies sale, coupled with us getting Onouha and Robinson off the books. Don't buy that one bit. | | | |
| Transfer window general thread on 18:18 - Aug 9 with 2602 views | SimonJames |
I repeat: why are we paying scouts if there is no money to spend?
(Unless it's just to identify loan players). | |

If that's what Hoos thinks is best then that's what we should do. That's our star player right there. If he ever leaves I fully expect Lottie Rd to fall apart. Blues Brothers style. | |

| Transfer window general thread on 18:27 - Aug 9 with 2562 views | Hoopsarrr |
Well partially, however if we start going through transfer windows without strengthening the squad Lottie Rd will fall apart much quicker. | | | |

3 youngsters in and one BFG who was hardly a household name.
So looks like our scouts are scouting. | | | |

There have been very few transfer windows in the last seven years that we strengthened our squad!
I agree we spent a lot of money, but impoved? No, I'm struggling with that one! At times we became better in one position, but that was offset in other areas. | | | |

Did Leistner just stumble in through the door by accident while on his way out for a pint of milk? | | | |
| Transfer window general thread on 21:18 - Aug 9 with 2305 views | BazzaInTheLoft |
To be fair that sounds very QPR.
Didn't we sign a player allergic to grass once? | | | |
| Transfer window general thread on 22:11 - Aug 9 with 2227 views | traininvain |
More likely to identify players within our limited price range like those joining the U23’s. That’s part of our strategy now and it’s resulted in the likes of Eze and Manning coming through.
Not to mention Leistner and whoever we sign on loan. Now we’re working on a very limited budget it’s more important than ever to use scouts to unearth hidden gems. | | | |

I see the competition for moaner-in-chief is really hotting up. Exciting times. | |
