Yep as said its plain to see the issue, we simply dont buy players who are best for the team. The focus is on potential or getting a deal.

 

Look at how Championship strikers are doing in the premier league recently. Austin, Vardy, Wilson, Ighalo, Deeney. Austin was always the better choice, the gap is clearly closing. Strikers are making the step up. Austin could have been a proper number 9 for us. He has experience & confidence.

 

Mitrovic is learning, Mbemba is learning. Thauvin is learning. De Jong was an injured bargain who is now getting confidence/Fitness. We lump ourselves with issues for no reason. We dont need players who are learning. We needed a CB to lead now Colo isnt. We needed players who could come in and hit the ground running.

 

Ba had prem experience, did well. Cisse an older proven striker, came in and did well. Cabaye in his mid 20's. Debuchy was late 20's and we still even made money on the guy on top of him performing.

 

So now after clear examples of what works, we go off and sign kids and injured players? Baffling how thats not worked like. What a coincidence the single signing thats made a clear difference is in his mid 20's.

 

Good post and the bold bit is an interesting point. It's only six years since we played in the Championship, but I thought there was a huge gulf at that time between the strikers in both leagues. Mistakes that would have cost goals in the Premiership didn't end up hurting us. Even Shola looked pretty good and scored goals.

 

The mental one for me is that both Ba and Remy were proven in the Premiership when we got them. Of course, their situations meant they were available on the cheap, as we like them, but they had both shown enough in half a season to confirm their ability. So Austin comes along, is even more Premiership proven, and is holding all the cards in his contract situation vs. QPR. He is the real deal going cheap. So what do we do? Spend the pretty much the same money on a punt on a kid from a lesser league. Not only do we not learn from our failures, we do not learn from our successes.

As for Mitrovic, he gets into good situations and shows promise. He's raw though, and it's a big ask for him to mature quickly in a harder league.

 

My main problem with him isn't the sitters he's missing but more the chronic lack of pace on him. He literally looks like he's running in treacle. Now I know people will say the likes of Teddy Sheringham, Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer weren't the quickest of players but they excelled in other areas to make up for that. Our record of bringing on and developing young talent is abysmal so I just can't see the reasoning in signing a youngster with such an obvious definciancy in his game instead of buying tried and tested for a couple of million more.

He needs crosses. He scores all his goals from crosses. We don't give him any crosses.

He missed 2 gilt edge opportunities from crosses on Saturday.

 

Not being funny like, but if he played for West Brom today he would of had a hattirck.

 

He would not be criticised as much with better service as he would have less pressure to convert the 2/3 piss pot poor crosses we deliver a game.
