Building for the future

[Yorkshire Blue]

I'm really encouraged by this transfer window. Our tactics are spot on.

Tilly is looking at the bigger picture and trying to develop for the future.

The likes of Masters, Liptak, Scannell and Harrold have all been purchased over the last 18 months or so with an eye to the future. If you add Moussa in, that's potentially the spine of the team Masters, Liptak, Moussa and Harrold.

Its now up to our coaching staff to develop them and turn them into valuable prospects who can contribute in a season or two's time. Now the chances are that a couple of them won't pan out, but if one or two do that puts us in a really strong position.

futures not too bright then.....

I agree totally that building for the future is important and its nice to see us doing so and shows theres long term vision being applied.

Not sure Harrold can be viewed as one for the future mind.

 

[fatshrimp]

Was Harrold 'one for the future' too then?

 

[leeblue]

[Ricey]

The future being how long, 1,2 or 3 seasons?. By which time their contracts would have finished and if they realise their potential will have been snapped up by bigger clubs.

Harrold is still very young for a targetman. Like keepers they tend to develop much later than other positions, in fact I'd say much later. As a role they rely far more on strength and experience, both of which take time to develop. I'm not sure whether Harrold is still in Tilson's plans, but he was originally signed as a long term project.

We also still have the young Swedish kid who was meant to be quite good...

Different players (and positions) develop at different speeds. The trick is to extend the deal as soon as they show signs of having made the step-up. By the time they have become first team regulars their agent will no doubt be banging on the door about a new deal to match their new status anyway.

Ah yes forgot about him.

The management team at Roots have done really well, it's good to know we're in safe hands.

Now lets waste all that and sign fat ronaldo!!

 

[Ricey]

What about Peggy Lokondo as well.

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Would have thought a smorgasbord was more appropriate.

For those that recall the great Two Ronnies sketch regarding speaking Swedish, the young Sweded obviously asked his landlady:
