Data driven approach of course combined with a committee and our network of scouts.
Surely you can see the merit in owning your own players, I have no problem with loans but when they get taken back it tends to fûck things up a bit.
I absolutely can see the merit of owning our own players and would love to have a proven goal scorer on the books. The weird thing is then we would most likely be talking about how much money we will get for them in January when a championship or Prem team want them
And how the club has no ambition by selling our best player
The point I was making through is we are exactly like other clubs in this window and 2 out of the 4 clubs you said don't get loans in, have got loans in (and some said about one of the other clubs).
I get why people don't like the chairman but some of the examples are just ridiculous and people are blinkered by their hatred of him (or other word meaning non favourable).
