Remember Emi was seen as a gamble

He was great that first season, but it was in the chumps. It's tough to find cheap gems that are premier League ready

Has to be a review of our scouting and recruitment (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 6, 09:32:08
- A lot of missing my point. Suspect some may go on to (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 6, 22:09:49
- Tzolis is 19 and has played ONE full season in Greece. Highly rated and highly sort after (NCFC) - Pixelman, Dec 6, 12:04:27
  - He's looked dangerous and should probably get a bit more game time (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 6, 12:05:50
- after just 15 games? You think that is time enough? (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 6, 12:00:15
  - this is the problem we don;t have the luxury of time in the prem (NCFC) - pinkney, Dec 6, 12:11:29
    - But we do have the luxury (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Dec 6, 12:17:25
      - trouble is when we go down we lose more of the team and then start again (NCFC) - pinkney, Dec 6, 12:59:15
- Tzolis is what, 19? Come from a different league, as have the others. (NCFC) - APB, Dec 6, 10:48:23
  - Normann's passing stats are off the scale bad (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 6, 10:56:29
    - Like I said, ok but not the saviour (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Dec 6, 11:01:11
      - I don’t think we have any one player that’s good enough to be viewed as the saviour (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 6, 11:23:49
  - I'd say Normann is the most complete midfielder we have by a considerable way (n/m) (NCFC) - Steven_P_Morrissey, Dec 6, 10:52:02
    - We’ll be differing on that then (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Dec 6, 10:52:51
      - Normann is a bit hit and miss….. (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 6, 11:22:25
      - Know what you mean about Normann, but I thought we missed him yesterday (NCFC) - jampersands, Dec 6, 10:58:46
- Rashica is good I think, Tzolis will also come good but (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 6, 09:59:50
  - It’s a reflection of our lack of cash and also the fact we cannot sign (NCFC) - pinkney, Dec 6, 10:11:59
  - Bit unfair saying Sargent can’t play football. Awful in the 6 yard box but good physical (NCFC) - Biggles, Dec 6, 10:09:31
    - But he makes the previous VWW signing look like good business (n/m) (NCFC) - Munich93, Dec 6, 11:21:13
    - He isn't physical though as a striker, with his back to goal (NCFC) - Steven_P_Morrissey, Dec 6, 10:53:39
- It's funding, not the system (n/m) (NCFC) - Steven_P_Morrissey, Dec 6, 09:46:50
  - Yes, signings at any price point are hit and miss (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 6, 10:01:15
    - We didn’t need to buy two left wingers for a start, especially as Cantwell plays there (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 6, 10:24:58
      - Cantwell doesn't fit into either of the systems we've been mostly playing tbh (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 6, 10:32:51
      - I hear what you’re saying (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 6, 10:30:00
      - I think we expected to sell Todd (NCFC) - CWC, Dec 6, 10:28:42
    - It's about the scouting though, not the price (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 6, 10:07:37
      - I realise I've contradicted myself here (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 6, 10:14:52
        
        Remember Emi was seen as a gamble (NCFC) - Steven_P_Morrissey, Dec 6, 10:37:24
        
        Seen as a gamble by other clubs I should add (NCFC) - Steven_P_Morrissey, Dec 6, 10:41:39
        
        Of course you can, and we have (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 6, 10:28:28
  - Yep. Even if we could "afford" a £20m striker (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 6, 09:48:29
    - embrace the yoyo (n/m) (NCFC) - Tombs, Dec 6, 09:59:32
- Tbf onel not even making an impact in champ anymore (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Dec 6, 09:45:11
- I’d add Lees-Melou to that list. And agree we don’t have the players. (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Dec 6, 09:42:18
  - PLM was just cheap squad cover, no? (NCFC) - CWC, Dec 6, 10:25:25
    - ? He’s been playing though. (n/m) (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Dec 6, 10:47:09
      - Well, quite (NCFC) - CWC, Dec 6, 11:13:29
  - I don't know if Hugil would cut the grade at prem level (NCFC) - Steven_P_Morrissey, Dec 6, 09:50:08
    - Hugill is an embarrassment at champ level. Just runs around fouling people (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 6, 10:28:10
    - Neither do I. But he’s better than Idah, so get him back (n/m) (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Dec 6, 09:51:29
      - He's awful (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 6, 09:53:24
        
        If you watch his goals from QPR 2 seasons ago its absolutely baffling what he's become (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Dec 6, 10:28:50
        
        Agree (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 6, 10:33:05
        
        Yeah (NCFC) - Old Man, Dec 6, 09:56:41
- That’s not a bad effort (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 6, 09:34:42
