Wallace Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Nothing that has come out of the club in recent weeks gives any cause for optimism that they have learnt their lessons - sticking to the blueprint, sell to buy, young players with a sell-on value, Premier League players are too expensive etc. Again they are thinking short-term in relation to finances - trying to keep the balance sheet looking good now but not thinking about the long-term consequences of that and the millions they will lose as a result.

Nor a mention about a keeper. If the club really is only going to bring in a signings if they can ship out a couple then the bell is tolling for me. The potential millions lost (as is been stated in the post above) if they go down shows just how naive and stupid they are. I just don't have any faith in the club anymore to make sensible decisions.

You can almost see it. Sell a couple from Perez, Sissoko, de Jong, Cisse and sign more number 10s No attempt at building a coherent squad at all...

Ikon Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 We didn't sign enough players before this season, and despite being shit we will not even do it now in january, at least not near enough. And even IF we tried it'll be harder to attract quality now. Pathetic mess of unambitious shit cunts running this club. I fucking wish i could stay away and cut my connection with this should be fantastic football club. Best time ever was last season when i was abroad and didn't have the will/time to follow this club at all, and i felt like a new human being. Thank fuck i'm leaving in late dec again.

Shush Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 January will be interesting. For me the priority isn't sticking to the "blue print" the club speaks of - it's not working at all. We need to make three first team signings and get the perfect people needed for the roles. Our current situation seems to be a team without a strong, confident leader at centre back and centre midfield. We are a squad full of players that would be good around a strong spine, but no candidates to be that strong spine. Up front we have Mitrovic and Perez who I love, but we need a proven goal scorer who isn't Cisse as an option to challenge them both to play. For me I'd make every effort to go out and get Ryan Shawcross, Jonjo Shevley and Charlie Austin. Straight away we would have something solid to rely on and we can start to see less of Colo, Tiote and Colback. If Mitrovic or Perez are injured or not delivering, get Austin on to find the back of the net. Ignoring the players I've mentioned as I'm sure there's plenty of debate on who could fill those roles, the concept of signing a new first team spine is the paramount thing we need. It won't happen at all, too many expensive shit assests that we won't be able to shift will be on our books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 With Wijnaldum out on the left (starting position) we're pretty much a one legged man on the left hand side as our LB's are awful all of them. Except maybe Mbabu but it's early days, and we need a natural LB with end product. If Gini's going to play there then we need a quality LB, even more so than usual.

I agree, in principle we need one competent player in each position and a decent backup. However I think we can afford to ignore covering wings and full back for the rest of the season, we can't allow Colo, Colback, Tiote or Cisse to get any game time. They are all sending us down when they play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 As much as we have a weakness in defence, CM is the priority imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I agree, the spine is more important. At the same time if we're going to play without width we're going to struggle when it comes to stretching the opposition out of their positions which will result in us finding it hard creating clear cut chances as the box will be too crowded. If we had ambition we'd correct all the weak spots, at least in our starting eleven to begin with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 And Shawcross. Just pay whatever it takes. Club record fee, anything. Imagine how many more points we'd have on the board with someone like that captaining the side and marshalling the defence. Chalk and cheese. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 He's perfect for us. I think we'd be at the very least 5 points better off (3 points at Sunderland, 2 extra points v Southampton...probably 2 v Chelsea too actually) which may not seem much but it would put us in that little group pushing top half anyway.

Disco Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Why would he move? He's credited Hughes for improving his game, plays for a club as equally as ambitious or good as we ever have been in recent times and is from nearby. That's before the fee (no sell on potential) and wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
