Do you think Barca had a Messi back up? Or PSG had a Mbappe back up? Or City of the early 90’s had a David Rennie back up? Your view of the game is a bit bizarre. Presumably it’s an easy fix. We just need 33 world class players.
Messi, Mbappe etc would be played every game if possible, obviously, but if they got injured or needed to be rested then there would be players who would come in for them (and obviously do a much shitter job than them ).
Tatsu was 1.2m, Torp was 2m, Bobby was 2m, Lati was free (250k compensation), Dovin was around 2m, Binks was around 1.7m. You can get some bargains just have to trust in the recruitment team
Yeah Im just having a laugh dont worryWhat that’s it? We’re bang on perfect as it is?
You’ve got to be having me on here, although I’m not used to your humour so I can’t tell
Oh phew was gonna say
That's batshit. Bobby Thomas in particular is a bloody brilliant piece of business.
Or they are getting hair transplants.
He wasn't 2 million either , not was Dovin
OK fair enough but his point stands. Sakamoto, Binks, Dovin was like £1.6 million rather than £2 million I think. Can throw is Sheaf, Hamer and Gyokeres too if you want, not like those were long ago.
Not het up at all . The £11M has now become £8M. And the whole point is that the amount is immaterial. We have signed plenty of decent players for relatively small amounts.
Christ almighty. What I’m saying is you’ll get the depth you can afford. Yes, we need more depth. But it’s utterly pointless to expect or demand it unless you are in a position to hand Robins endless cash. I enjoy your undoubted enthusiasm for the team but it’s unreasonable to expect what you want.Erm yes? In terms of depth in the team, yes
Are you suggesting we don’t need any depth because our starting 11 is decent? I’m not sure what you’re getting at here tbh
Ooops.... Good spot!
You were prepared to spend up to £11M , beyond dispute. Very calmly that's not nitpicking it's just stating fact. Goalposts are supposed to be fixed not moved around .
I’d say CM and ST are the musts and main priority, then CB or RB and Lati can cover the other for this year and focus on a proper next year, then LB can wait till next year unless the right player becomes available and we have the funds to sign them and sell one of Dasilva or Bidwell
That's a new one on me
Hasn't he immediately been loaned out for half the season?
Going on loan to West Brom as well
Thank god , he was starting to sound like Maldini on here
Straight back to West Brom on loan.
I give in and wholeheartedly agree with you.It’s unreasonable to expect 2-3 players, even if they’re frees or loans? I’d prefer us to buy players because then they’re ours and that way we can hopefully make profit from them, but I personally don’t think it’s extravagant to expect just 2-3 players, particularly when we clearly need extra depth/quality in the squad. I don’t feel like I’m being frivolous here in any way
Bit bizarre that is.
