Im certain Joe learnt a hell of a lot last year playing in the Champions league and Old Firm games, you cant beat that for experience.
The logic of the decision to loan him though and buy 3 new centre halves, none of whom are currently featuring in the squad for one reason or another, is another example of the financial illiteracy we seem to have regarding recruitment. Still not my money I guess.
It’s partly our money though isn’t it? How much do fans pay in ticket prices, and then it gets wasted on things like Benalouane’s high wages for 2.5 years because the old manager didn’t like Worrall so shipped him out temporarily. If they didn’t waste so much money they could cut ticket prices.
I’d suggest that it’s not financial illiteracy but poor recruitment and overall football strategy. The latest being to pay £2million for a right back that we don’t need on high wages when we have Cash adjusting well and an excellent prospect coming out of the academy.
