With Snodgrass joining Aston Villa on loan, almost all of the last year's recruits have been shown the door. Surely, there should be an inquest. How did WHU get their recruitment so wrong? Who scouted the players? How persuasive was their evidence? How much money has been wasted? How did the recruitment of dross affect the morale of other players? What changes have been made to avoid repetition of the same?

Out of the permanent signings last season we've still got Ayew, Masuaku, Fernandes, Fonte and technically Lanzini as he was on loan the previous season
I'd rather not keep persisting with "could do a job at..."
I've just read a transcript of snodgrass' glowing review of his experience at West Ham. Says that he played his best scoring and creating as either a number 10 or on the right
Yet according to him slav insisted on playing on the left in payet's position
Pretty damning. He was just one of those who came to West Ham in decent form and withered under slav.
Antonio played on the left to accommodate him at times and he was dreadful. Sounds like he's trying to justify to the Villa fans that he isn't a waste of time.

WIth the result on Saturday casting huge doubts on Bilic's future, I can't see G&S splashing out a new club record fee for a player that a new manager might not want, regardless of how desperately we need him.
Too little time now to get a new manager in and secure his targets before the window closes, so, if they are thinking seriously about getting rid of Bilic, I think they'll keep that cash to make available to a new managr in January or next summer.
It's kinda chicken and egg though, because if they don't spend the cash on Carvalho then it's much more likely they'll replace Bilic; if they'd have signed him pre-season there might not even be talk of Bilic going.
External has, internal is 60m to owners including interest and 40m ish to other clubs which most clubs carry
It's not that we won't pay the money it's the way the deal is structured that SL are being difficult about and if we don't have enough to pay at the initial signing then we've probably not got enough cash on hand
I feel like selling James Tomkins was a bit like selling Collins the first time (without the following relegation hopefully). All these players we've brought in and no one's been any better than he was.

Not all bad.

And he wasn't any better when he did play on the right.
And lacking morale fibres
And lacking the will to win
And
That ado donkay that ado

Psg signing neymar for £200mil and getting Mbappe on loan to buy for £166mil
City spent over £200mil
United £150mil
Liveprool have spent £40mil but have had a bid accepted fro Keita and maybe Lear
Whereas we have spent £40mil (recouping £30mil of it) yet can't seem to push some moves across
Just wish we could go back a couple years and change so that the Abu Dhabi group bought us instead of city

He in the last few seasons has become very injury prone...
