17 players the majority of whom are currently deemed to be not good enough Anyone can sign any number of players if you're prepared to sign them from the bottom of your list. If we're speaking to agents and having bids accepted, then the financials will have been broadly agreed to even be in the conversation. Did we fight off serious competition for any of them? portsmouth wanted Kamara and Norwich would rather have kept him, Hughes, Rushworth perhaps but nothing substantive was reported about other clubs missing out on them. It seems to me we mostly landed the ones there wasn't serious competition for. In stark contrast to January.
Did we fight of competition....you tell me, you seem to know that we couldn't sign players ( bar the 17 we did ) and that all our targets chose to go elsewhere, So you must know about the details of the 17 we did. "It seems to you" is exactly my point, it's what you think and you actually have no idea.
It's an opinion, which is the point of the forum. You have yours based on as much guesswork also. Only difference is mine doesn't fit a preconceived bias, it's just how I see it. We certainly reportedly missed out on more under a relative unknown in Walter than the previous season under a coach with a more favourable reputation. That's hardly an irrational conclusion to draw from it.
Your bias is just pro acun Weve established that Like how you suddenly turned on rosie when he was sacked as its what acun wanted And every single problem this season is down to tim
I base my opinion on facts, experience, first hand knowledge and what I'm told by people I trust. I have no bias towards anything or anyone unless it's me Vs bookies
Just looking down the list of our summer signings. All decent signings at this level that others would surely have been interested in. Sods law we lose 2 absolutely key ones for the season, and another one has been pretty much injured up until now. Belloumi Kamara Giles Hughes Millar Drameh Palmer Alzate On paper, high potential developmental signings that again others would likely have been interested in. Sods law we lose another one for the season (known gamble). Zambrano Puerta Burstow Burns Underwhelms, duds and panics that likely weren't in any demand! Still time to prove us wrong under a new coach, but I don't see it happening. Mehlem Bedia Pedro
Is it? I think he's massively ****ed up in sacking a credible coach for a wildcard appointment then basically having to eat humble pie and appoint a carbon copy of the guy he sacked in the first place just with a Spanish accent with the club beleaguered at the bottom of the league.
I do apologise that I don't remember if the top of my head absolutely everything that happens....I also asked, did we have a bid accepted and did he chose them over us based on a completely level offer in personal terms?
