Nice, unfortunately the clip does not show the wonderful expression on Lovren's face after we scored...
And things that don't come off aren't always a fiasco. If one of us didn't buy a car because it was more than we wanted to pay.....would that be a fiasco?
Agreed. I don't think we could have really handled it any differently but I do fear that having alerted the rest of the Premier League as to his availability we will probably be gazumped in the summer. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst I guess... Sims could definitely be the saviour this season though.
The fiasco part of it was that despite having considerable funds to spend and a whole month, Les Reed failed to bring an attacking player with pace into the club ( and one that the Manager desperately wanted apparently). Walcott was option one, Promes option two, where was option three?.
That's not a fiasco though is it. You can't have an endless supply of options. Better to wait than get second best or pay over the odds in terms of wages.
If it ultimately costs your club its' PL status it is financially disasterous and very poor business.
Personally would love to see a team next season with Sims, Hesketh, JWP and Stephens all in the starting line up. Add Harry Reed to that and you have that magic 45%-50% from the academy that many of us dream of.
Pellegrino wanted an attacking player with pace (luckily Sims has returned at the right time), The club should've provided him with what he needed, we had the funds and the time to do it.
Can't see Harry being at the same level as the others. Apart from one game where he had an action man 45mins , he did not show me how he'd contribute to a quality Prem team. Love to be proved wrong though.
If we are in the championship he will get a chance to play as most of our present squad will leave in the summer
