Exactly what happens when you let a manager who'll be here for a couple years head up a transfer committee comprised of other people trying to plan for 5+ years.
That's an appalling set of circumstances and an indictment on all of them. We've gone from "no money" to "can't agree". The sheer indulgence of it.
I don't think you can have Kinnear deciding who is signed either but he needs to bang heads...
No they wouldn't.
They are either past it or not good enough
Got to avoid knee jerk thinking like this. I get where you're coming from, but it's decisions like that in the past which have contributed to the current problems
Discussed/mentioned that a lot this summer, like;
For me, it's still this;
... just updated to "Let's see where we are come 1st September"
But we've again started the season, under prepared. As bad as I can ever recall - we've started...
I don't think so.
To prove it's not just retrospective either, I've been saying it since before last season finished. As an example, in April;
If you've an unprecedented rebuild on your hands - don't sack your entire recruitment setup who had...
If you swapped Ndiaye and Alcaraz with Gnonto and James do you think the outcome would have been different?
Just do not understand people saying our problem on Monday was a lack of pace or not running at the opposition when our system was so...
I think you stick anyone with pace up against a reasonably slow midfielder at left back and they're gonna look decent, didn't see a lot from those 2 to suggest they won't get pocketed by semi competent defenders during the course of the season...
Tried to tell y'all we should have kept Thelwell and Purdy. At least for this summer given we had 15 players out of contract.
The DOF model wasn't the problem.
The problem was Moshiri ignored any DOF.
Then the problem was we had a DOF who...
I don’t think anyone is that daft to think work has stopped obviously. I think it’s more that generally people think we should be further along than we are in this window given what we had to achieve - we have reported targeted Tête, Kubo...
I think the information that that appears on transfers mostly leaks from the selling club , or the players agent ,whose interests can be served by releasing the details .
Another source of information may be the player’s friends and family...
You can't have your cake and eat it too. The manager invited speculation by deliberately leaving it ambiguous. If anything Moyes should be explaining himself a hell of a lot more than he currently is
You’ve missed out the word “proven”. Dibling has bucket loads of ability, that is blatantly obvious. He’s being valued at 50 million at 19 years of age, Eze at the same age was farmed out by QPR to Wycombe Wanderers on loan.
People are being too...
