Agree, it could mean that we are still in for him, but a poster on WATRB stated that we were not willing to offer more money now. Shame if it`s true - Point is, I see him as a player who can advise BOS and Shopido. Eze and Chair also.. Besides; He can take a free kick..

Heard some reports say 1m, others 750k. Either way, wouldn't pay it. We genuinely don't have that kind of money spare, and between his age and injury record Judge has little or no resale value! |

I think it was 1M, initially. Now, more like 750K or so. I agree he has no resale vaue, but I feel we badly need experience attacking wise and I`m sure if we could have cashed in on Luongo, we would have had the 1k, I feel we are lacking to get this transfer through. Selling Luongo(Leistner also?) is in itself maybe a loss, but imo he is too often away on duty with his national team and when he returns he needs to time to get fit again. Not sure who we should turn to as a target now really. Scott Hogan might be an an option, he is a quite lively striker but not a playmaker type of guy ? |

I am really not bothered if we sign him. I would rather not to be honest.

The club have always told us that this operates in tandem with the academy, and we have scouts on the payroll for this purpose. For example, who 'found' Leistner last season? McClaren? Butterworth? Penrice?........ |

You'd have to say though, if that is the total return for even 1 member of staff that focuses fully on Europe, it's a poor return. More likely we have relationships with a couple of freelancers who get a 1 off fee if they recommend someone we end up signing. Either way, I'm sure we have nothing robust enough in place for the sort of volume/calibre of signings Corbs is talking about. |

As doing that is certainly no breach of FFP, and neither is putting it in place something the owners could by any stretch not afford. They say they'd love to spend money if the rules allowed them to. Well here is the opportunity to do so! |

Well here is the opportunity to do so! I suppose it depends what you are proposing mate. Are you suggesting having a scout constantly travelling around Europe scouting players? If so, that's not a particularly cheap member of staff to have on your books between salary, hotels, flights, expenses etc. If every penny is being scrutinised (which I'm sure it is), I'd doubt we'd have someone like this on the payroll. Even if the justification was they would pay for themselves, if they were bringing just 1 bargain to the table every window! |

For the owners' combined wealth the expense would be loose change but with good scouts, potentially a v profitable investment, especially given our predicament. And it wouldn't breach FFP either. |

Couldn't make it up, could you?!!  |

The correct decision in my opinion. Regardless of whether this represents a fair price for Judge or not, we simply can't afford to drop that kind of money on 1 player this window! |

O'kane will be solid signing. Sterling was the more exciting option imo but O'kane has played a lot of champ football and will atleast be a contracted player.
The comparison to Bidwell is pretty decent. Will give us a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 every week.
