    Terrible. I suppose it’s hard to get motivated for a pre season friendly.

    There's a new style of play and it's possession based. They need to start spending some money because they're trying to turn spastics into Olympic quality athletes in most cases.

    **** this im in the Paqueta, Diaby and over 150 Million brigade.

    Can’t replace 8-10 players in one window Marra.

    Especially if we can’t spend 250m.

    So unless you have a magic wand available I suggest we have to go with what we have plus one or two more.

    It’s going to take years to unravel the mess Ashley has created. Some players are good enough for backup as squad players and that’s it.

    That’s the problem he doesn’t find the pockets of space needed for the style of play.

    He simply doesn’t fit the system and never will.

    Who's asking for 8 players and why are you speaking makem?

    Some are playing for the futures. So I would have though they would have upped their levels. It was hot mind.

    But that performance raises more questions than provided answers.

    You agreed that the 8 players named where not good enough.

    The top sides have litterally 22 players almost as good as each other

    We've got about 8 at best.. Then the drop in level is huge.

    It’s not just makem. It is also West Cumbrian.

    Surely you understand the difference in the two following sentences?

    1.Those players aren't good enough

    2. We have to replace 8 players straight away

    We've not even got a proper, balanced first 11. This is going to take time.

    Keepers looks covered
    Defence is getting there slowly, still feel we need a better option at RCB.
    central mid is getting there but would love some star dust sprinkled.
    RW is glaringly short of quality.
    LW is meh but covered.
    CF is glaringly short of quality.

    A mixture of makem and Cumbrian

    That's even worse.
