thing is gems need not cost 25mil and be 26. Can is an example of policy applied well. found a release clause and a decent talent with right experience. Markoivc is policy applied badly due to price paid. Coutinho is perfect example of paoching talent. Balotelli is utterly without reasoning. origi might be good example we don't know Alberto is bad example as alarm bells were ringing the day barca said nah seville you keep him. he's been isolated and marginalised at malaga all year. ilori might be good or bad, we just can't tell due to injury record. The idea is to buy young loan successfully like cheslea and increase value. Wisdom cost not much when brought in as a kid and he's not at least a 5mil player despite pulis best efforts. ibe needs to be signed on a new deal urgently... we are repeating the errors of the past here. Ince... sterling.. we are biggint he lad up, sending out on loan.. not getting him secrue first. FFS anyone watching him in preseason can tell if he's put on a long contract he'll be a footballer at worst we sell on for 5/6mil. should have been done
Depay can score goals, Lallana can't, Depay is 21 Lallana is 26 It would have taken 30m to tempt PSV. 4m in the difference, why do you not agree? we have almost 0 hope of getting him this summer. Plus if we had done that, we'd have ben 16m better off not haivng to get Balo, so really, we'd be 12m better off IF we had managed to get Depay for 30m and not bothered with Lallana and Balo Lallana has added nothing to us this season and Balo less than nothing. Bad deals and settling for average but English has been a disaster
It's a mixed bag for sure but there's many more fails than passes. BR stood up and told the world that the purchases was part of a strategy after being accused of panic buying. He's been found out. he stood up and said it's easy to coach teams to park the bus. He's been found out. I do feel for the guy, particularly the fact that Sturridge has been injured all season and that when we finally found someone to play on the right, Ibe got injured but let's face it.....relying on those two would have been plain stupid at the beginning of the season. Oh...if he stays..... I do wish he'd just keep his mouth shut sometimes. The very minute the words 'we're aiming higher than fourth' came out of his mouth, I shuddered!!
I have indeed, I have supported Brod all season, and said lets wait, and we waited. I thought he had come good with the good run, but that was false, had we played up for it sides in that run we'd havve lost some of them. Our performance against Chelsea at Anfield in the cup, was probably the best performance of the season, and we faield to win that game.
Sisu just It makes me laugh when I think about it, we tried to cement our second place finish by buying a bunch of players from a team placed 7th the same season and a ****ing misfit from Italy to replace arguably the best striker in the world
I stand corrected, we tried to cement our second place finish by buying a bunch of players from the team that finished 8th the same season. I can justify Lallana if he was 20, never realised he was that old, 20fucking6 like. He's not bad, but 26m
False argument. Which team higher than 8th would have sold us their players last season? please log in to view this image On the other hand when we buy talent from aborad like Markovic everyone whines he hasn't adapted instantly
Buying Mario summed up our transfer strategy. BR later came out to say that he was the best option we had Weak on all fronts and sums up where we are now.
False argument, we didn't have to buy from the PL Astro did we? ffs We showed 0 ****ing ambition in the transfer market, money talks and we spent 16m on a misfit and 50m on also rans of unverified quality and don;t get me started on Markovic, but at least he is young, 20m tho.. double what he's worth
Why on earth do they have to come from our own league? I get buying British players to meet a quota but we were well covered.
Because when we make great buys from abroad like Coutinho, Can, Sakho everyone just says "yeah well apart from them" and when we make buys like Markovic everyone whines he doesn't adapt instantly
