Burke signed some very decent Development Squad players Ince, March too I think?, But last summer's recruitment was very poor. Whether that was due to budget or poor diligence I doubt we will ever know...

Very true.

Don't forget Burke signed Ince as a central defender, but Oscar made his significant conversion to midfielder.

If Tony walked into Burke's office this summer and said:-

'Here's £15m go get us promoted'.
Then no amount of change will soften to blow of DB doing an incredibly poor job.

But if Tony said:-

'Here's £5m don't get us relegated'.
It would appear Burke did a good enough job.

As you say we'll never know, but I can't help thinking it's the latter, and DB got the sack for a series of poor decisions made by everybody senior, at the club.

So that's the spin that'll be used as and when Ince is sold for oodles of cash.

We could be in for a sticky couple of years, when NSC won't be able to say:-
;He was a Poyet signing'.
Or
'Burke didn't arrive until ...'.

Instead we'll have to side with either one of two discredited managers or a discredited DoF.

I still think you have to give him credit for signing him, especially if you have to give him the stick for his summer signings. Which I think you do, even if his budget was reduced...

Sorry but not prepared to say. I am guessing it's a fairly obvious call but let's see if I am right. If not, I will happily take a ban.

Fair enough.

His name was Toko, he was a no show,
He had tattoos everywhere, under 21s were scared,
He was Nzuzi, but not a doozy,
He got paid money and it wasn't funny that he stayed here,
For quite so long...

Ince is a decent Championship midfielder he won't be sold for oodles of cash. Feel free to quote me if it ever happens (it won't).

Effectively a young player into his second year as a pro, who is improving with every game, playing in a position, where there is anything but an abundance of talent in the premier league. I think you've made a brave prediction there........

How much is "oodles"?

I have no idea, a lot for a Championship midfielder which is probably anything more than 2m.

I thought he looked good against Lewes :moo:

Shame.

What a waste of money

We're the Stripes · Jan 20, 2015

Says he's expected to to join another club this window. Be interesting to see where (and at what level) he rocks up.

EDIT: Argus saying Eskisehirspor in Turkish top flight.

What the **** happened here?

Jeeez, as said, he's 22 years old, playing Championship football in his second season.

Just how many games does Ince have to completely dominate before he becomes anything other than decent?

If you were right, (couldn't be more wrong) the club is in deep shite.
After Dunk we have 3 more assets Ince, One Foot and KFC.
If you're saying the very best of them won't clear 2 million in a year + time, where's the money coming from?

Oh and just in case you didn't love Ince enough already...

...his middle name is Greg (according to wiki) punk:
