Thank you for sharing the link TLO. I'm feeling a lot better about Oscar's role in player recruitment now, but would still like to see some evidence of his 'say'; with a clear 'Oscar' signing from MTA or Barca youth or similar.
Agree with all of that. By sooner, I meant in Jan (rather than next season as was suggested by someone else), although I'm sure we are working on Jan signings now.
(a) Yes, but still disappoints me.
(b) It is my opinion, that saying "It's going to be a tough game" every game, or "Matt Upson has been Matt Upson for 16/17 years" is not useful, interesting or insightful. In fact, it is bollox. I don't really need to be qualified to share that opinion do I...
On the former, I find that disappointing; it is a key part of the manager's/head coach's role IMHO. On the latter, I agree, but would rather Oscar than Nathan played the key supporting role.
That's true. But are they? And would you not think that Oscar's contacts in the game might be slightly superior to Nathan's? We need to leverage those contacts sooner rather than later.
Worrying to me because I feel: (a) Jones hogs too much of Oscar's limelight; (b) Jones talks bollox most of the time; and (c) I want Oscar to step up WRT player recruitment... and not next season, but now.
