Even Abel wasn’t a consistent scorer at PL level - which we were when we signed him. He was great in the Championship though.
It highlights way more than a lack of stability! It highlights gross incompetence! Assuming that's true, and I can imagine it is near enough, that is absolutely shocking. Let it sink in for a moment. 61 players in. 50 mill euros (give or take). And, correct me if I'm wrong but we've only sold on 1 for a good profit (Philogene) and ended up in a relegation scrap!! Beggars belief. People need shooting.
That seems insanely high doesnt it Now we need to compare to similar teams Are we spending insane amounts Or is it the norm
Yeah, I didn’t realise he had one, just googled it, John, currently at Bolton, so it’s more likely we’re after him, judging by the teams mentioned that are after James!
I highly highly doubt we get james mcatee Hes probably the most sought after midfielder in the championship on loan
Ultimately it does, I agree. But maybe that's why Tan has gone and maybe there's more to Darnborough going than we're aware? Is Beri Pardo still involved? Let's hope he's finally got it 'right' with delegating this time to Dublin, Selles, Clutterbrook, etc
Our biggest spends have come after selling assets like KLP, Greaves or Jaden. But if you take this summer alone I think we are the 4th biggest spender
His title was Sporting Director, which is now Dublin's job title, so it looks like he must have gone too.
