Summer window

No, but if we start struggling then there'll be discontent which doesn't help anyone.

 

Which one

 

But teams struggle! Liverpool Chelsea Man U for example!

we aren’t struggling at all.

 

Fair dos. Just going round in circles here, sorry for having a different outlook on things. But it's about opinions.

 

Unfortunately patience is needed in football unless you have silly money and even then its not guaranteed

Too much is made of the model imo, the thing that has impressed me is they have a vision n a plan. All succesful businesses have this. Will they get stuff wrong, 100% they will but at least they are going about it the right way. We need to focus on recruitment and development of talent, thats the only way we will be successful

Throwing money at it wont work unless you have a vision n a plan. Remember KLD has spent money, hes invested a lot in the data n recruitment team as well as bringing in quality coaches to the academy. We also had the 2nd highest net spend in the league last season n the only team higher had just got relegated from the PL

It will take time but the aim is for it to sustainable over a number of yrs n not just 1 or 2 good seasons like we had under reidy (only counting the pl seasons)

Patience is something us supporters dont have tho but we need it lol

 

You try to have more than one senior striker at the club regardless if fit or not surely?
Every other team probably has a couple senior options at the club already so aren't as in need as we are

 

Probably the one he quoted

 

Cracking post that.

 

Winning games covers a multitude of problems, losing games highlights all the sore points..

So all we need is to start winning!

 

Ah maybe got em blocked

 

Everton for years were ran sustainably, they never threw money around and progressed slowly. The new fella came in and chucked 500 million around like confetti and look at the state of them now !
We are ran well and have been told numerous times by the ownership that the club needs to be self funding, its not going to change.

 

Must do aye, was The Exile's post

 

That’ll make sense.(not the post)

 

You do and we are aren’t we? We’ve got quite a few players that can play up top and it’s not really effecting our goals per game stats as it stands.

we will get another one or two but because it’s not happened already I’m not about to start ****ting the bed like most.

 

What's that based on?

I agree though that the biggest barrier to success of the model at the club is getting the fans to buy in to it and be patient.

 

That's a very good point. I was probably just venting a bit because it's frustrating as hell at the moment being without a striker etc!

 

Lol I'd love to get our business done early, but it's not that simple. Short term it might be slow getting where we all want to be, but better that, than risking our future on a short term gamble.

 

If you’re saying we are ok squad wise up top - we really aren’t. We need a ready to play number nine asap. Should we pay ridiculous fees ? Should we lower standards ? No. That means we may have to wait or loan. I’d rather have a better quality player through a loan than ‘our’ player but not good enough yet. We already have them. Personally I still think they should have had a ‘laser focus’ on the right player and secured that player by now so there have been errors or miscalculations but what’s evident from our three defeats in a row is we’re missing quality, so let’s not sign less than we need.,

 

Never said we are complete squad wise but like your points we need the best and they obviously take longer!
People seem to forget we didn’t really know what league we’d be in until the last minute.

 

1. We didn't lose to Crewe 2. It's the ad nauseum repetition of the same weary tropes that grind on some posters.
