How can we be unwilling to spend such little money given our squad, income and player sales?
This is laughable
The manager says we need bodies in at the start of the window.... then we lose a couple KEY players to injuries....and sell 2 players who have featured this season...letting go of the loan guys we recalled...and only got one in (who is a great buy tbf)
Letting Sakho go for anything is good business as he has offered up nothing for months and would not do so for the rest of the season.
Getting Mario in is good business as he looks like he could be a quality addition to the squad.
I hope that Hugill comes in as, on the face of it, I think that could be good business as well.
Letting Burke and Oxford go is not a disaster as I am not convinced they were good enough in any case.
Rice looks like he can step up into the senior squad
If Koyoute gets back to form that is almost like getting a new player as he has been woeful but apparently has shown that he just may be on the way back.
The only really frustrating thing that I can see that has happened is that we have huffed and puffed about getting Dendoncker in - if he was a strong target then we should have gone in an secured him before now, it does seem to have a touch of a Brian Rix farce about it.
Keep calm and carry on
;wink
Bizarre!
Sorry you feel that way but it's born out of utter frustration in continually being drawn in with the belief that they will do right by the club and they IMHO fail every time. ;ok
There will probably be a late loan signing though of a player who is an afterthought and the board will say they tried hard again.
I'm not saying you can't feel that way, at all, and I do understand the feeling of frustration, and I completely understand why some people are feeling angry. It just doesn't seem all that likely that the owners make their decisions around deliberately trying to troll the fanbase, is all.
£18m is a good price for Ayew, but to sell him to a relegation rival when we didn't need to? Utterly illogical to my way of thinking.
Losing Oxford and Burke wouldn't be a big deal under normal circumstances, but they've been on the bench or the pitch during the last few games. Our injury situation and league position meant we should have strengthened the squad, or as an absolute minimum, not weakened it, and we just haven't.
The DM situation is what is really hurting my head. The fact that Dendoncker has gone exactly the same way as Carvalho, and we still haven't addressed it, is so frustrating. Two transfer windows to resolve it and the board have categorically failed to do so.
Just not good enough, IMO.
