TRon Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Can't wait for Bruce to say he's had his eye on this lad for a while and he had the final say to bring him in I don't mind tbh. If he's getting decent players he has zero excuses if he can't get results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 i can only imagine Bruce has a pretty weak pay off and a very easy contract that MA could terminate if he's not doing the business and getting us to 17th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 So, one more striker needed to be on par with last season. Disregarding that the two that left were in terrific form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no! How will we cope with that? Almost like it's in the club's mission statement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 If he looks even marginally decent playing for our dumpster fire team, he’ll get a move away to a real club after a season or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 If he looks even marginally decent playing for our dumpster fire team, he’ll get a move away to a real club after a season or two. Relegation release clause. Will be gone in May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's why he has been bought. so we can sell him on at a fat profit. Get with the program. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Yeah definitely him. Just why on earth would we spend this and not keep Rafa. I hate everything about this club Baffled me as well. Imagine the excitement had Rafa stayed and then we signed this lad. Bunch of morons. Rafa didn't want this signing. They chose these types of signings over Rafa. This has been the main issue the last few years. It's why signings coming in were such an issue under Rafa. Rafa didn't want to have to pick players from the recruitment teams list, which had a remit set by MA to younger players with high potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyne81 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 We spend 40 million on a player and all I can hope is he's an absolute failure and costs the club a shit ton of wasted money when he flounces off again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley is showing that he doesn't mind spending money generated, as long as they are appreciating assets. Probably something else going on behind the scenes as well, otherwise I'm sure Rafa said he could work with the model of bringing in younger players broadly, but they would be his choices, not those picked by some club approved scout.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I just don't see how this will be an appreciating asset when the team is utter dogshit. Perez was an appreciating asset, he was dirt cheap and Rafa made him brilliant. Longstaff came from nowhere and Rafa made him brilliant. I guess it could happen, but it seems an absolutely mad way to try and run your team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
