Santos

Blackpool interested apparently

Not surprised, he probably wants a move back up that way.

 

[Pegojack]

A loan, I presume. We lose money again. Terrible signing.

If he does go on loan and they cover his wages, all we lose is whatever his signing on fee was. It probably wasn't much. I've said it before, he was signed when we only had one centre-half on the books and would have been very cheap. Don't get the hate over this one when we have so many other signings who seem like duds and who were far more expensive.

The lad was terribly unlucky to pick up such a bad injury at the start of the season as well.

 

[magicdaps10]

Not really needed, hope to god there is genuine interest in him so we can move him on.

A good signing on a free for backup

What a total waste of time Santos has been, it wa never good signing and clear as day he wasn't needed, even if he hadn't picked up the injury he would still have been 5th choice.

How? We hadn't signed the West Ham lad at the time, and only signed him as Cabango was struggling with an injury and Santos was out for an age. We signed him as 3rd choice

 

[JackSomething]

Easy to see an alternate reality here where we don't bother making such an awful signing, leaving us with just Cabango on the books. Then Burgess decides to sign elsewhere, maybe West Ham decide not to loan Casey. Then we're playing kids or scrambling to sign somebody last minute. All the Captain Hindsights here moaning about Santos would be throwing their toys out of the pram that the club didn't sign somebody like Santos earlier in the window...

yep, and everyone was saying it's a decent signing as backup in the summer. A freak injury shouldn't change that

 

[Cooperman]

Was he signed on a one year or multi year deal?

Signed a 2yr contract.

Probably the same people who were saying we had a superb transfer window.

Again, it was one of the best windows we've had for as long as I can remember.

The whole squad, apart from 2 or 3, have been performing below par. Hopefully Matos cna remedy that
