Guest neesy111 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 We spent 8m on Anita, you don't spend 8M on a player who isn't damn average. Also I seem to remember Sissoko playing for France before he joined us and looking decent then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Being without one or two players, however good they may be, should not result in the team being fucking arseholed virtually every week without scoring. Spot on. Even without Remy and Cabaye, our line-ups have been atrocious. It doesn't take a footballing genius to understand that Dummett and Anita are not wingbacks, Sissoko isn't a winger, Gouffran can't play wide in a 4-4-2, and MYM isn't a RB.

Guest neesy111 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Basically you should have a system where players just slot in when injuries occur etc. You should still be able to function without key players but just miss the extra quality they bring. Unlike the ramble and shambles we are now. Even Glenn Roeder managed to make us like a team when he had a complete makeshift back 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 £6.7 million buys you an average player these days, to be fair. Nowt more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Generally speaking - very few significant transfers in Europe are less than £10 million I would have thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I still think they told Cabaye that they'd let him leave if we were safe from relegation which is why he played like his life depended on it for the first half of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Generally speaking - very few significant transfers in Europe are less than £10 million I would have thought. And why we have signed no one for nearly 18 months, Ashley isn't willing to spend more than £7m or so. Good players cost decent money and the days of us getting players like Cabaye on the cheap are gone, clubs are wise to us now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually him joining us seems to have pushed him further out of the international picture if anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
