Rafa sees there as being three types of teams in the division: Quote 1 2 3 “The top sides have a lot of money. The other teams are spending too, but we will see what we can do.” 1. Very rich clubs who can spend. 2. Other clubs who will spend. 3. Us, who aren't spending. sharpening the torches and lighting the pitchforks as we speak. Tbh, I thought this. It is a bit of a dig imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards especially. He's been like that since he got banned from the club. Constant negative twist on everything and the first to try and start the hysteria on twitter.

Tbh Craig Hope was usually the first to break anything about Rafa since he's been here. We've also heard similar quotes from all our managers in every transfer window about how difficult the market is. Basically sounds like he has been told we will get players in, however the reality is usually very different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shush Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Rafa's comments are helpful. He sounds almost sympathetic with the club for struggling to get the deals due to the crazy market. Regardless of the history of the club, it's never been as crazy transfer price wise and I can understand how a transfer budget of £70m suddenly feels like it can barely get you 3 average players in the Premier League. I think the club has to swallow the financial disappointment and get the right players in, even if it means limited spend for next summer. We can't go in to this season without several quality additions and expect to survive. Rafa is great but he's not a miracle worker. I still think on top of the above the club is under performing in getting players in, but I guess Rafa isn't fully blaming them which helps us in our chances of keeping him here for now.
