I know we've been round this but I still struggle with the concept of 'nobody is better than anybody'.
Granted 'the player I want' is a bazillion times better than anybody.
But you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime you find you get what you need.

Shirley for a manager that has seen and done everything, every footballer has some redeeming feature CH can work with.
I appreciate he's having to suck it up over Manu, and perhaps couldn't do that twice over.
But all the time Baldock and Kaz are so flaky the squad is only 2, possibly even only 1 injury away from serious problems.

I have never mentioned this before on here but he took that attitude the last time we failed to land the player he wanted and you actually even identified in your post that particular action. This time he decided to retain the funds for another transfer window

Player I suggested as a free agent 4th striker has scored for Blackburn....... Marvin Emnes but then he is not good enough for The Championship

A goal every 6 games on average in English football was not what were after particularly given his probable wage demands.
One goal for Blackburn also doesn't turn him into a world beater.

I was just to the left of the goal and looked like a penalty to me.

Definite penalty, he was caught from behind so to speak

Hmmm ...... speculation, speculation, speculation! Wonder which incoming player we're talking about..........

Duffy?
Norwood?
My guess is Murphy when we didn't land Marshall ...............................

Just wild speculation on my behalf, you understand!

No Murphy was always a target, but it did take ages to get the deal done for him as Sheff Utd pissed about with the level of fee

But here is the slant on that BG - Chris Hughton did not want to him.......................... So whats the point of signing someone that he wouldn't ever play

You are the left back recruiter BG. You have gone beyond your remit

Sorry I went past my duties but just thought that he could have done a job. He did a good job at Middlesbro so I thought that he could do the same for us.
