Cant believe he missed out 'must have 2 legs' as a box to tick

[boatshed bill]

Pretty much what all but 6 PL clubs are trying to do, I'd guess.
Not many can afford mistakes.

" Maximum effort " ? ...

[Bosscat]

"Work in progress"

"We'll have to wait and see."

It's a difficult market !

But Crouchy ticks most of the boxes

"If you think of age range, availability, productivity now and for the future, contractually and fees. There are five things, and if you're trying to find players who fit all that, and are good enough now, or at least to hold the fort now as they get better, that's difficult," said the Clarets boss.

I'm sure he includes other things such as personality.

Our criteria is understandably more strict than clubs who can throw mud at the wall hoping some sticks. Ours has to have a higher stick percentage than clubs who have bucket loads of the stuff.

"are good enough now, or at least to hold the fort now as they get better"

The likes of Wells, Walters, Lennon and Crouch were/are never going to get any better
