If our options next year for RB are O'Brien, Patterson and Coleman then it will have been a very poor window for us. A CB, a man who cannot stay fit and a player who has failed to win a place under multiple managers is not a plan for a key position.
There does seem to be selective memory on just how much patience was afforded to some of our best players of the Moyes era - Baines, Coleman, Osman, Jagielka.
This is fair comment, but Mykolenko isn't a terrible player. If we took a slight gamble on a left back with genuine attacking quality, you have the potential to be able to bed him in gradually. We didn't ever really have that with Patterson...
Not expecting actual signings until July.
Just here for the rumours and giggles.
Terry Barry eh ?
Wonder if we will try and loan Evan Ferguson to fill our 'broken player' slot.
Right back is really interesting - continue with O Brien ?
I always imagined he was a stop-gap - so in my head we don't have a first choice right-back still.
Coleman is back-up, Patterson doesnt seem to have made the grade.
Yes but again we could have easily kept up with that revenue. 20 years ago is when they started to build their brand now look ar the difference.
I agree their league form was atrocious but I'd swap seasons in a heartbeat
I know the finance stuff is dull - but Spurs revenue is above Chelsea and not a million miles from Liverpool.
They are a league ahead of us in that respect.
So they are bit like a mini-Utd where the football has become a bit secondary to some...
