Just googled Baggins and apparently he is credited with inventing the Thermous Flask will you be inducting the young lad with a FFS sponsorship Parrot? Will check but dont think Sponsorships are available for individual players unless in 1st team or thereabouts

I shared your concerns Randle but having dwelt on it I see it as a good thing now. Strengths our connections with a counties FA (albeit an emerging one) and it seems we get to cherry pick the best. However if as the closed seasons weeks roll by we get one of these announcements every week I will get concerned! How many clubs can claim to have a tie in with a countries FA? I'm sure there are others with the amount of bonkers foreign owners around but it's all good at the moment. This can obviously be an opportunity or a liability. But then, every deal in football is. It comes down to, as everything, whether we trust the people who are making these decisions. It would seem mental to me, to be trusting WAQ with the club, the UWE, the training ground, the first team, but then getting cold feet over his signing of a few 18 year olds.

Good luck to the lad. I don't know why people are concerned. If he isn't good enough he won't get anywhere near the first team. DC is as sentimental as a glass eye. BTW, how tall is Wael. The lad doesn't look big enough to be a centre half. Maybe a full-back.

One Jordanian player in 15 months, and so its begun.......? Lol He wasn't signed by DC is one thing, the owner is bringing in his own player just hoping that this is the only one, I don't want to see 5-6 Jordanians in the reserve team I want to see the British youngsters from our academy, as I said is only one at the moment but I'd be interested to know how DC feels about it all. The under 23 team is the reserves isn't it?

Yea that's fair enough is all matter of opinions. I do wish the young lad all the best.

What's your thoughts on wael making signings and how would you feel if he signed players for money/first team?

What's your thoughts on wael making signings and how would you feel if he signed players for money/first team? Yes, without doubt DC needs to be fully happy with all signings... Hargreaves who runs the development squad seems happy about it based on his quote. Don't foresee a situation like Ge off Dunsford's signing of Rickie Lambert unfortunately.

Thing is Hargreaves isnt going to come out and say "well I'm not happy with this". I just hope DC was informed last thing we want is to upset DC.

So you know WAQ singed him, and you know that Hargreaves isn't happy about it, and Darrell doesn't approve of the signing, or are you just making stuff up?

Wael signed him 100% doesn't take a genius to work that out, I never once said DC or Hargreaves wasn't happy about it . I haven't made anything up funny enough you have in that post unless you can show me where I said they weren't happy with it?

surprised at the scepticism here.
DC would not be involved in signing every player that makes it through the youth ranks.
We are building an academy and there are many players that will no be announced, jut happens to be that the club are obviously and understandably proud to announce the first Jordanian who could possibly play for the gas.

You said it wasn't DC's signing, so he didn't approve it, right, otherwise if he's approved it, it would be his signing, right? So effectively, you're saying he didn't approve it, or am I misunderstanding? And you said Hargreaves wasn't gonna say he wasn't happy. Unless you're implying that he's not happy, then what is the point of even saying that? I wasn't trying to suggest you had said these things specifically, I was saying that in my view what you have said implies them, otherwise why even mention it.

You have read way to far into what I was saying your making up things based on what I've said. I never said DC approved or never approved, I never said that CH never approved I was saying if CH wasn't to approve he wouldnt speak about it to the media . Your complicating my posts like you do a lot on here, my overall point which is plain and simple is the owner is signing players on professional contracts.

Why do fans think DC's not been consulted about the signing, or do they expect him to fly to Jordan from his hols just to join them in the picture? Even if DC's not 100% happy if it means he's going to get a decent playing budget next season is he really going to complain if he's only going to be playing in the Academy. Hopefully good news regarding the training ground & UWE will now follow as I can't we'd be signing Jordanians to play at the Mem/train at a field in Almondsbury.

I wasn't trying to suggest you had said these things specifically, I was saying that in my view what you have said implies them, otherwise why even mention it. I think Randle McM is simply warning us that perhaps Wael is inclined to make signings which perhaps have not been agreed by DC or Hargreaves and that if this is the case then perhaps Hargreaves is upset but fearing for his job will not say so and perhaps DC knew nothing about this before he read it on the web in which case perhaps DC may be very angry and leave the club. But he has said none of these things may have happened and was just raising the possibility and consequences of what might then happen if they did. Hope that clears it up.
