And so would conclude one of our oddest transfers.

And yet, we see no reason to question anything with regards to the structure of the club and the way it’s run.

Chop and change the manager for the twentieth time in 5 years, that’ll do it.

What was the point in buying him? Ridiculous transfer by a ridiculous club with a ridiculous transfer committee.

Eh?

The structure of the club and the way it's run are a constant source of debate amongst us fans.:shrug:

The former was an ić who wasn't up to scratch.

I would like to thnk that both Tsunoda and Simic will be assessed by the new Manager before being allowed to leave unless, of course, they have both expressed a desire to go.

Not seen much of Simic but his goals for the U21s in his few appearances showed that there was an element of skill there. I think that the previous regime felt that he was too lightweight. Perhaps the new guys will have a different view. Who knows?

Not seen anything of Tsunods but he got plenty of game in Belgium.

loan move presumably? seems a low level but at least it would be game time hopefully.

I agree, must be a contender for the post of the year award. We do have one don't we? Just imagine the award ceremony.....

Not evident in any of the photos from the 1st days training.

I'm not sure where he fits into a flat back 4

Was Simic really that bad that he could basically get no playtime? This is the team that played Etete, who struggled in the U21's, at least Simic got some contributions. Maybe it was a culture shock/attitude problem.

I agree, it seems nonsense to appoint a new manager and then sell players from underneath him. Simic is exactly the type of player that BBM has been brought in to get the best out of.

No comment on Tsunoda, he’s just a mystery

Do you think?

They spent the McGuinness money on Robertson, Fish, Daland, Salech and Simic.

All in all, it was money well spent and their combined value has increased. One failure out of 5 is not bad for any club and Simic's age and pedigree suggested it wasn't a wild punt.

Playing for the U21's he showed to be very comfortable on the ball, good touch and a natural goalscorer. He didn't look hardworking, strong or brave. Unless that were to change he'd have no chance in the English leagues.

Pardon?

Daland and Simic have been total disasters, Fish and Robertson haven't increased in value and Salech cost a fair bit

still plenty of time for any of them to come good.

if someone wanted to sign Robertson or Salech the. I think they'd need to part with considerably more than we did in order to get them. Fish probably too.

A low level? Osijek are in the Croatian top flight and we're in League 1!

Why? We're in the third tier, the amount we could demand for any of our players lowered upon relegation and that's presuming none of them have release clauses
