“You need to adjust the team.

 

“Then hopefully we can bring some players and add to what we are looking for.”

 

This is important, a big reason we havent made the signings we want yet is that we havent been able to get rid of the deadwood as of yet

 

Why do we need to get rid of deadwood first? If the money's there we should spend it. Then if someone wants to buy our deadwood we can shift them as and when.

 

TBF I think that's just how football clubs work by default. We won't just stockpile players we don't have a squad number for.

That would include players like Gamez, Lazaar, Diame and Hanley then who were brought in by Rafa. Is the club then saying "you wanted these players, now we have to shift them if you want any new players"?

They aren't going to spend 50/60m on 2/3 PL ready players to make the first team competitive. End of story.

 

As I understand it there's a budget of £70m supposedly, what difference does it make if we spend it on 2/3 players or 7?

Well we might be talking about players like Riviere, Krul, Murphy etc, we don't really know. Might just be a practical issue of limited squad space.

Is there footage of the interview ?

As that line in the title is the one being seized upon, was he smiling or frowning when he said those words ?

 

Neither really, he mentions Jan and the 30mil profit & they tried to go early (this summer) but sometimes you have to wait. He knows the numbers and what resources they have and still remains confident.

 

It was on sky sports.

Thanks  :thup:  Hopefully catch it.

Just seems that (pretty much as normal) one small bit of the interview is seized upon. Had he had a real serious/frowning look when he said it, it would carry a lot more weight than had he said it lightly or with a smile.

Ahh the joys of close season analysis...... :)

Does it really matter much how he delivers it? Surely if you feel you have to say the words "Hopefully <person> can KEEP HIS WORD" it's never a good thing.

 

Exactly, he's hardly going to burst into angry tears and smash the camera. He's a pro.
