It wasn't comparable to Liverpool. When they were going through the last days of their manager we struggled to get a draw at home against them. When the roles were reversed they hammered and humiliated us. Take off the blue tinted specs. They have a much stronger squad.

Comparing us to Leicester is just a joke. They walked the league by 10 points.

On paper, at the start of last season, our squad was comparable with Liverpool's and much better than Leicester's.

It's got nothing to do with blue tinted specs.

We've had an underperfroming squad, that's a fact. By that, I'm not saying that the team would have been in the top four, or even top six, but we should have finished higher than 11th.

We have got a quality foundation to build on, and that's why we only need a few top-quality additions to take us to where we want to be.

Erm managed the 3 best teams in the Netherlands, one of the best teams in Portugal and one of the former biggest teams in Spain?

And failed at most of those clubs....the Spainish team as you rightly state was at that time one of the biggest in Spain and he would have relegated them. He also failed at Benfica.

Not sure why youre using them as examples.

 

[BlueToff]

Yea but the point was more a question of how strong our squad is. I think we overestimate it because Rom has been fantastic. Take Rom out and put another player of say Bony's standard and I think we struggle.

Rom was awful from March onwards like...

First-half of the season we played some top stuff going forward, but couldn't defend.

After Xmas and with the League Cup exit, it all went sour and eventually the entire team stopped playing for RM and it became apparent he'd never change his ways

Your vendetta is becoming increasingly boring to read mate.

Signing a new manager is a huge risk for every club no matter how big.
Are there guarantees coming with Guardiola, Mourinho or Conte. Of the three only Mourinho has a history of success in England which is a very different league to Germany, Spain or Italy. Last season we saw how things could go badly wrong so quickly for even a manager like Mouribho.

Pochettino was hardly an obvious choice for Southampton and it turned out very well, Koeman also.
I don't fully accept that Koeman was the level of manager we could expect.
Right or wrong his profile had risen dramatically in his short time in the premiership. The suggestion was that he would stay another year at Southampton and then take over at Arsenal. He is still talked about as a future manager of Barca.
Talk only, but an indication of his profile. His current job will probably more clearly define his career, if he does a good job at Everton allied to an already high profile he could get any job in football, if he is not a success it will probably put an end to any hope of managing a top European club.

Martinez was talked about as a future manager of Barca. There's is some rubbish that is spouted by fans, media and more likely agents.

He would have to win the Europa League and get us into the top 4 to have any chance of managing a top European club. He may just be here for the money. Only time will tell.

Worst transfer thread ever and extremely uncomfortable reading in points. Not good GOT.

Hahaha You guys, I do enjoy the times we share together on here.

Happy transfer day everyone, we may or may not sign someone, but don't let that dampen your spirits.

God Bless.

Exactly and when Rom was awful look how bad we were. That was relegation form.

 

[GerryandthePaceMerchants]

It's looking increasingly likely that nothing will be happening until we have the Stones money in. Worrying.

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

Imagine if we accidentally spelt it Pokemom hahaha Oh the laughs we'd have together.

Good day egg.

...if that happened I think we'd possibly laugh until, simply, there was no more laughter to give. We'd be spent of laugh, like balloons devoid of air, withered...

Good morn Bungs...

I understand that we lack quality striker options behind big Rom but do we actually need another striker? We've got Arouna Kone, Oumar Niasse and Shani Tarashaj. We still have Leandro Rodriguez and Conor McAleny who are on the books but will hopefully be sold this summer.

I can't see the club moving on Niasse just six months after we paid 13.5m for him, we'd have to move on Kone but I understand Tarashaj will have to work his way up into the first team set up through the U/21's.
