RobsonsWonderland Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I know it was 20 years ago but... We brought in Lee Bowyer (free transfer) the last year Robson qualified for the champions league and lost the play off game ?. Still not sure why... Was it money, loyalty to the players who finished third or a case we could not sell any of our squad players?? But it always reminded me of Liverpool in their prime when no matter what they had won they added two, three first team players to freshen things up and keep others on their toes. So I just hope when the season starts we have made forward steps as a team, be it youth, squad, first team or purples being replaced. The one positive I can see is that this is not a blip and good things will come! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 For memory - you couldn’t count the CL money until you actually qualified. So buying players before you had qualified was a risk. But tbh buying a new purple to try to ensure you won that play-off was a better strategy than hoping you qualify with what you have and then trying to sign someone in January.

But we just qualified with what we had, and clubs like Chelsea went the other way by doing exactly what you said we should have done.

I think it was the season before we signed Bowyer that Chelsea only signed De Lucas on a free transfer and went on to finish in the CL places. It was the season before Roman Abramovich came in so they spent big when we signed Bowyer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really. I don’t think we’ll sell and I actually think the likes of Barca and Real Madrid if they are interested, will be waiting to see how he stacks up in the Champions League. Neither club can afford to make such a costly mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Hate to be a doom and gloom merchant but if we have no champs league next year then we might have to sell (especially if Bruno’s sees that we’re not making any massive progress). There aren’t many teams in world football that can reject 100m offers or indeed players that would reject lucrative/ glamorous moves to either Barca or Madrid.
