Control over transfers and being allowed to bring in older players.
Bruce has had nothing to do with this transfer.
I don’t know I look at how we started last season. We’ve lost Perez, Diame and Rondon. We’ve added Almiron last window and Joelinton this window for 60m. I think our last two signings are the correct type of like to see. Quality over quantity. Almiron is last season will be the cry, but we’ve given him a valuable 6 months to adapt. The eye was always the seasons to come with him. Muto has had time. We need more but I’d rather be patient and get the right ones. At present we could field:
Dubravka
Schar
Lejeune
Dummett
Yedlin
Longstaff
Shelvey
Ritchie
Almiron
Muto
Joelinton
I don’t think that’s a horror show or that much different from last season. I fully expect we won’t follow it up like we’d all hope but we’ve got enough to stay up. We may surprise people. Hell we might sign two or three more, which if the quality was right, would make us massively better than last season. The manager being good enough may be a problem but he is another that fans just have to give a chance to. What’s happened has happened. We’d all like a change at the top but in the meantime I think we just get behind the team. I don’t believe boycotting, chanting at shops achieves anything. You literally need the majority on fans to get on board. It’s not even close. You’d do well to get our support under 30k on a regular basis.
Put it this way what would it take for fans to be happy? You know if we signed only one more key player (holding midfielder) I honestly think our team would look pretty decent. Fans also have to remember the likes of Muto, Shelvey, Aaron’s, were rarely used if at all. While none are worldies they could be of use
Quite simply if he doesn’t score a hatrick every game for his first 15 games it’s money wasted. I just don’t think he can lace joselus boots.
What a waste of 38 million. Net!

Year one to settle
Year two to show improvement and he’s a decent player
Year three to sell with a bumper fee due to three years left on contract
Thanks for the reply. You make a lot of solid points and I'd agree with most of them.
For me, if we sign a striker good enough for the starting eleven and a midfielder gold enough for the bench, we're on par with how we finished last season.
However, I felt like that team was relegation strugglers and Rafa did a great job to keep us up.
To give us a better chance of staying up with a poorer manager, I'd argue we need the above and at least 2 more players (a winger and a wingback) but would ideally also like a midfielder.
Muto is good enough to challenge the 16 but a stroke force of Joelinton, Gayle and Muto is weaker than a striker force of Rondon, Perez, Muto and Joselu (in my view).

No denial of the accusation of being an Aussie.

Here we go again..... (rolls eyes)
Were still to replace perez and what if he gets injured ?
We need 3 more strikers to be on par or an outside chance of being better than last season.

Nothing changes for me, still need to boycott, still need to cancel tickets, still can't buy the merch not till the fat one is gone!
Don't be fooled. Would anyone be surprised if we get to the week before the season and a £50m deal for SLongstaff is agreed?
Ashley is gambling that this 22 year old will double his value over the next couple of seasons.
Then he will sell him.
Then he will sell him.
