Never saw the positives behind this to be honest, yes they've got Premier League experience but they've also got experience of losing games of football week in, week out....surely there's more to be had from Championship players that just missed out on promotion and were involved in winning games most weeks last season ?

Behave Spart.

As is pointed out with the players named in this thread.

Summer of 1977

Peter Shilton - Relegated with Stoke City, joins Nottingham Forest for a fee of £250,000

George Wood - Misses out on promotion with Blackpool joins Everton for a fee of £150,00

I still think had we gone for Shilton instead of Wood we would have won the league.

May have done but if we’d got Shilton we probably wouldn’t have got Nev.

From what it looks like the new transfer team are unable to source much else. Whoever we sign just got to get behind them.

He's 19, Spart and that was his first season. Is that him finished at that level though just because he happened to break through that year?

Buying from relegated clubs / lower league clubs is exactly what we should be doing.

And try to avoid the “wants champions league football” horseshit peddled by agents of players from the top divisions.

Every player wants to play in the CL. If we're not good enough for them then they can go and play for some shit Swiss side.

Correct.

Cunha and Mbeumo being offered £250k per week seemed to jog their memory that they’re lifelong Man Utd fans.

Every player wants more money.

The champions league is a means to an end.

It always about money.

Jagielka? Lescott? May not have been relegated can't remember. Baines?

Sessions.

Gueye was signed after getting relegated with Villa. As others have said, there’s been quite a few.

I’d be half tempted to go for Fernandes at Saints too. Did well for them last season and has a release clause apparently.

Jags yes. Baines no. Lescott technically yes he was injured all season that wolves went down

Some of our best players of the last 20 odd years have come from the lower leagues.

Pickford, Jagielka, Cahill, Lescott, Stones, Branthwaite.

In other words, Spart's point is utter bollocks.

You can add Robertson and Lawrenson to those already mentioned.

Im probably wrong but one of our greatest signings ever was James Tarkowski ...wasnt he from a relegated club ?

Great as on he was free and has been brilliant for us

I've never understood the logic of labelling an individual player as relegated. You could've put Southall in that Southampton team and they're still going down.

We played West Ham in the 83/84 League Cup and they put 10 past us. They later signed our centre back Paul Hilton.

Jagielka as well? Basically a load of shite that. Always a good area for good players and sometimes not an inflated fee

Nick Pope
Alcaraz
Ndiaye
Joaoa Pedro
Rutter
Summerville
Delap

Just off the top of my head over the last few seasons alone.

It doesn't make any sense either. Does it mean don't buy them the season they go down? Or if they stay down for two seasons and become the best player in the champ like Grealish or someone, then they're still tainted by relegation?

Odd.

Quite possibly the first three names on the teamsheet too to be fair.

Gueye always gets the shout, but Pickford obviously.
