Incognito Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 A year ago we were clever and ahead of the curve in the transfer market, yet now it feels like we're behind. Were we ? Yeah I'd say so. We'd stolen the French market, had a few success stories and bought players that shouldve been beyond us. Cabaye, Marveaux, Ben Arfa and Ba were bargains. I felt like our transfer strategy was the best thing about the club (except the fans). But not anymore. You said this time last year though. This time last year we bought Anita and Bigi. Our reluctance to invest in a squad that had punched well above its weight the previous season was a major reason last season was such a disaster.

Village Idiot Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 €35m? We'd never be able to compete with that. Pity, since it was my favorite CB target due to age and potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Prob got p*ssed with the extended ban on appeal. Just read that he officially left after completing the Cavani transfer. Edit: FFF not letting up, asking FIFA to enforce the ban worldwide ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 TBH, I think any club would be taking a massive gamble if they stumped up the kind of money it would take to get Ashley to sell. His fitness is still unproven. Confident he'll be here next season. Wrong thread, marra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 A year ago we were clever and ahead of the curve in the transfer market, yet now it feels like we're behind. Were we ? Yeah I'd say so.

Our reluctance to invest in a squad that had punched well above its weight the previous season was a major reason last season was such a disaster. It was a major reason, yeah. The one weakness the club showed last summer was stubbornness in negotiations (De Jong) but in general the strategy was still working and still producing bargains. We went on to prove this again with Debuchy, Sissoko, Haidara, Gouffran and MYM. What's happened now is that other PL clubs have twigged on and are raiding countries like Spain and Holland, whilst we persist with France. We're not ahead of the curve anymore.
