Perhaps the club will stop doing this now?
Don't see any benefits to it whatsoever.

Not in this division they won't, can't.
We is now global news, t'is a shame the recruitment is still Southern League.

I thought that the club already did that but you cannot stop an agent leaking the info. We could of course tell the selling club that if it became public knowledge we would pull out of the deal but quite often demand exceeds supply.

Paul Barber said earlier, it's not the way we like to do business. The other clubs/agents who let the cat out of the bag.
Perhaps they should look at the way they do business. Spent a lot of money on unproven players!

The club didn't on either of the ones that have failed.

It's a high stakes poker game and we haven't got the buy-in
Because we haven't bought a £75m striker we are doing it wrong you reckon
Because we haven't bought a £75m striker we are doing it wrong I guess
So you think we are doing it so right? Reality we can't compete at this level financially, and in my opinion and I hope I'm proved wrong we have spent a lot of money on average players.
We couldn't afford a £75M strikers wages, I rest my case.

And people on here don't help when they bleat on about the lack of activity and jump on every rumour. let the club do it's business and, whilst they may buy the off 'dud', most of the signings in the last couple of years have turned out pretty good.
I'm really struggling to see how our stringent recruitment process picking up on the fact that two players we wanted to sign have problems, is a bad thing. A few years ago we wouldn't have picked up on it, would have signed them, and everyone would have berated the club for another expensive failure.
It's because we are such a professional outfit these days that we are picking up on these things, and not making the mistakes of the past.
Somebody please tell me where the negative is in that.

They did on this one. The Neto one wasn't formally announced I'll grant you but that also meant that the hype wasn't as big.

After Zurich had. Can't do much about it if they announce.

Ridiculous. Maybe time to take a break from NSC for a bit?
If our recruitment was truly as you say, we would not have just had two of the most successful seasons this club has ever known.
Or maybe, like Chailey, you take a moment and wonder if I'm serious when likening the recruitment team to that of the pre WWI days.
(Although that team did win the Charity shield!)

I was going to ask, tongue in cheek, whether our medicals are now too stringent........
........ which of course they are not. We are doing things properly.
