We’ve acted like vulgar lotto millionaires - double handful- Sky money through the roof and availability of credit via Moshiri. Crash bang wallop,forget what we had before, not good enough reckons the Dutch Moonhead, his ego spurned on by the new majority shareholder and a DoF inserted to a club structure for the first time in its history.
Spurned by the failed pursuits of key targets in Moonheads first summer - not helped by him going on holiday before taking the job - agreeing the deal for Walsh we were light on incoming players. The FA Cup defeat by Leicester in the January amongst a dismal run saw public criticism of the new regime, so we jumped in on Schneiderlin & Lookman. A late run of form saw us reach Europe & the catastrophe of our summer spending.
Money no object? Get in.....will we lose Rom though Ronald? Not sure, it’s ok, it’s football and we’ll share the goals around. So like a poor mans Spurs we bought every available AM in Europe who was offered. Klaassen despite his no show against United, Henry O because he scored plenty against the bottom half of equivalent of the Business House League, Sandro some kid who backed himself to get mega wages by having a nothing buy out clause, a centre back who couldn’t make the grade at United and turns like the 341. We got a goalie....good job too. Left back, nah. New centre fireworks? Nah. And we wonder why we are worse than in Martinez’s final season.
We ain’t a team that pulls together, we are a group of millionaires of different nationalities who have taken the dough offered to them. For the few first team players who can remember when we were good on a few occasions, they look at the new shiny lads on treble their wage and think it shouldn’t be like this. I agree.
