The type of players we should be looking to bring in ! Im not worried just yet , but have we learnt nothing from the last 2 windows?
Hopefully yes, and those lessons include not buying older players with little or no resale value that goes against our business model.
28 and 29 is old to you? Hernandez gurantees you goals and Arnautovic scores and creates them, why would you want to re sell them?
Average with a attitude problem. Not worth how much the reported fee is. 32 games 6 goals 5 assists We have players like that already
Better than average, i dont mind the attitude tbh, every team needs a player like that. I wish some of our players had more of an attitude, we are to nice as a team.
For our model, yrs. And he doesn't guarantee goals, nobody does. Wages are likely much higher than we go, as previously stated our model is different from these types of players. And Marco has a ****ty attitude...
Nah we don't have anyone with his individual skill/magic. He's a definite upgrade. Balde Keita, however, is different class.
Hernandez I would definitely take. Keita I know little about. Arnautovic I have said on here a few times recently that I wouldn't want us to be signing. Unless he was available for something stupid like £2m. Plays well once every five games, and some people get sucked in by that. (And that's before the attitude)
How come? We have proven over the past three seasons our model works and our far from a bang average club. Last season was close run, but we came 8th. Sorry, but your case just does not seem to stack up. You are also writing this with 6 weeks left of the window. How do you know we wont be buying better players than those you just listed, and do you also believe we are a club of choice for those types of player. Perhaps you need to understand our model better and how we need to cut our cloth...
In our own little mid table league our model works fine, we will never get any higher than that sticking with it though, its not financially possible to do so.
We aren't going to get much higher anyways. People need to accept that 8th is about it for us,unless one of the big teams has a **** season.
What are your qualifications to make that judgement? And why should we aspire to do much more. I'm sure our ambition is to try for top 4 or 6 each season, and if that doesn't look on, is to finish as high as possible. We simply will always lack the funds to do so. But are you seriously linking buying those two as. Way to crack the top 6 or higher?
Im saying buy those 2 to keep us where we are, as it stands we wont be finishing in the top 10 next season.
