I genuinely can't think of a scenario to disprove your theory. I think our recruitment team get it right more often than they get it wrong but there's no doubt we miss out on a lot of first choice targets.
In some ways it’s impressive that we stick to the budget. But it’s also a bit like the disappointment when you knew you weren’t getting the Evel Kneivel for Christmas.
Moncer .. Peterboro or us.. came here. Malik Wills Hull or us.. came here. Alfie Morson us or a host of clubs came here.. Just off the top of my head.. I understand the first two ended up at the rival in the end.. but we did beat em too the transfer
Who are all these players we missed out on that people refer to? Actual ones not rumours in the papers
