There would have been more loan options and it wouldn't have been as risky.

I don't know, but Elanga, Woltemade and Ramsey will need a lot of time, even if they manage to settle in. At the moment, Miley is better than Willock or Ramsey. Woltemade can still be saved if we find his place, but not in a 4-3-3 formation, he won't be good there.

How can other teams integrate players into the squad in a shorter time? e.g. Semenyo, Ekitike, Mbeumo, Cunha, Simons

I agree, the midfield was more stable, Hall and Livramento could help more in the attacks, and there were those who took advantage of the situations. The players arriving are not of the right level, and the opponents have become much stronger and are getting stronger. More creativity is needed, and smarter, more precise play, and for this you need the right players. I may be biased, but there is Szoboszlai in the Pool, for example, he can decide matches with his passes, free kicks, and corners.

It should have been left at the beginning of his salary negotiations. He became one of our highest-paid players. He's an idiot who signs a contract like that when Hall, Livramento or Miley play football for a fraction of the salary.

Speed alone is worth nothing, without accurate passes and ideas. Miley would be worth more even as a winger. The many poorly completed attacks are draining our energy. We need more better prepared attacks.

Now that we bought Wissa, Osula is in the starting lineup several times, does anyone understand this?Why is Osula, who has been ignored so far, playing more than Wissa? I know they're in roughly the same category, but it's interesting.

There are several things that are not clear to me. We had many loan options without risk, but we bought Wissat for a lot of money. Knowing that he is playing in the Africa Cup of Nations and that he does not fit our profile because of his age. What shocked me was his weekly salary, I can't believe it. 140,000 a week??? And that is the basic salary. At Brentford he got 25,000. Whoever did this needs urgent medical attention.

I hope we don't make the same mistakes again because we shouldn't waste time on players who don't want to play for us. The scouts need to do a better job. Rayan would have been a good investment, he's only 19, I don't understand why we missed him. We need to sign almost every position, striker, goalkeeper, midfielder, and the next few games will decide Howe's fate.

If we can keep him, Hall can also play as a left winger, he is quick, dribbles well and his passing is good.

If we want to get into the top 6, we need to make big changes here. We spent a lot of money but we didn't get any stronger, several of our players played below their ability and Howe wasn't very good either.

The most important thing is a very good goalkeeper, then we have to fix the bad contracts somehow. Buying Woltemade and Wissa was the biggest mistake, we paid a lot and their weekly salaries are very high, especially if we compare them with our other players, for example Miley, Hall, Livramento get the same amount as Wissa. Who was the smart one who put this together? Elanga, Ramsey didn't bring any extras, Rayan would have been worth that much too, who we didn't buy. Miley has improved a lot, he is currently one of our best, he has solved the role of right-back nicely. Hall has also performed well, we definitely have to keep them. We have set similar goals as Villa, they will probably start in the CL next year, and it is possible that they will win a European cup this year. They will strengthen a lot in the summer, and it is not excluded that they will stay in the top 6 permanently. Our situation has worsened now, it will be difficult, but I hope next season will be better, and for this we will need significant reinforcements, whether with or without Howe is a good question.
