It's a really good article. I really like Paddy Boyland, a proper journalist and he comes across as a really nice lad

It does massively reconfirm that we fucked up and spend loads of time trying to bring in players that were never going to come to us though.

Wasn’t sure where to put this. I guess this thread as is relevant to squad depth.

Fun way to learn that James Wallace is the chief scout as PNE.

Surprised he’s still putting up monster defensive numbers, albeit in a less physical league.

He was slowing down when he left Southampton, not sure we can carry his legs with the way we play.

I don’t see it like that at all mate. I get what you’re saying. But I think there’s probably a fair bit of carpet bombing by every club. You start out and fire of a ton of emails loads of phone calls. Then the database starts getting filled up. This player we can definitely get. This player might do but at the moment he’s seeing if he can go to CL team. This player is probably going to go back to his home club or spurs or Napoli or Newcastle so probably wasting our time calling him but lots dream a bit. Much better to try your hand at a ten Grealishs and getting one over the line than just dying on a brownhill
