Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
But it certainly wasn't overrated.
What it was is a "what could've been" if we weren't ran by an imbecile. An 18 month fling that got the maximum out of that squad.
Cos clearly since then...

Carlo had us playing some of the worst football I've ever seen. That's not to say Carlo was negative, I guess that was his way of damage control. He had his favorites and that includes Mister I Cant Even Say His Name. The midfield was the worst I have EVER seen, still is.
Could we have done something great with more Carlo time? Yeah, absolutely. Would we be in the position we are now if we did? No, we wouldn't be. We would already have been in administration. Carlo wanted to bring in people he had worked with on unbelievable salaries with 0 resale value. It's not MASSIVELY different than what we have now in that we can't sell anyone bar 2 players for profit. MAYBE 4.

The "good old days" was Martinez' first season. After Arsenal I thought we were literally on the verge of something fantastic.
And then Crystal Palace happened the next match.

We were just a stop gap, ancelloti was just passing through.
He also spent money on Allan who was absolute AIDS.
That;s my point. Allan really wasn't bad until he got injured iirc. But ALL their wages were massive. Completely unsustainable to even keep THOSE players much less the other ones Carlo was rumored to be looking at as well.
Look at his managerial club list. We look like a lost bet. He must have been really frustrated working with the quality levels we had. I thought he was underperforming at the time but with hindsight I now know he was a genius.

I wasn't aware that there was no money for transfers, and had really believed that he would bring in the right players during the
Summer break to take us up competing at the top. I was bitterly disappointed when he left.

Same. Moyes was like cold porridge. Roberto had the magic by comparison.
Please don't mock such a serious disease. Its not the 1980s.

Often gets overlooked as being such a rubbish signing. 20 odd million for a bloke about to hit 30 who did next to nothing for the entirety of his stay here.
