[Albion] Tony Bloom interview.

[The Mole]

Do people really think a top poker player is going to reveal his transfer strategy to all in an interview?

 

[KZNSeagull]

So, to use a lot less words... the gist is that we won't be spending any money in January?

If we find anyone that will improve the squad then we will, otherwise we won't. Same as usual

 

[Baldseagull]

I can see us bringing in a wide player, Solly is not playing again this season, might never play again ever. Maybe Valentin Barco is seen as being Solly replacement, and business ends there.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Total disgrace.

LAST SEASON'S shorts and socks and a keeper kit from 2 SEASONS AGO.

I don't know why but Bloom reminds me of Michael Stuhlbarg who plays Richard Sackler in Dopesick and Jimmy Baxter in Your Honor

 

[Husty]

No - the gist is we will spend if a player is available at this time that would be a good fit - ie like Caceido was for us for example. I suspect, if we are still in serious negotiations for Barco, that would include spending money. We are not going to pass on an opportunity like Barco just because January isn’t a big spend window for us.

But TB is not going to buy players just to cover for injuries because once those injuries are back, we’ll be left with a bloated squad we will have to pay wages for just to sit on the bench - that is not a sustainable business plan for a club with our level of resources.

- why not just watch the video

Because I don't need to - as you've confirmed, my assumption was correct

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

So in summary, we haven’t learnt anything new at all.

No - I haven’t at all - I have said twice TB will spend if a player becomes available to us that would be a good fit for the team (like eg Barco).

He was specifically asked about injured players and responded by saying basically what I’m am saying to you - Buying players in to just supplement an injury list that will not be an issue by mid February isn’t ‘a good fit’ so no, we won’t be buying any players that we can’t fit into the squad once we have our existing players back from injury - we don’t have the resources to pay for an unnecessarily bloated squad.

You can not read into either the interview or my post that “we will not be spending any money in January“ so stop twisting my words please. I think, it very likely we will if Boca accept our offer for Barco - maybe even more than you might expect. We don’t know who else we have our eye on either.

Or a bluff to trick the imitators.

Thanks, there seems to be a lot of that lately - it isn’t always easy for me to tell tbh - I tend to take posts at face value
