No one here wanted Raphinha. No one.

Everyone said he is bang average and we shouldn't look at players from Championship sides. The same as what is being said for some of our potential transfers now.

I don't think this is the case. Most people liked the Raphinha pick up until it became clear he was waiting for Barca.

Raphinha would've never been anywhere as good if he came here. He looked like grade A fraud under Xavi, this is why its important to have a top manager, Flick absolutely transformed him.

I do think the ring a rosie of managers needs to stop at some point. Klopp was given time at Liverpool, as was Arteta to actually build. 

I'm not happy with how we're playing at the moment either, but we need some continuity. The reality is, we were playing at a 2nd best in the league level for half a season, with a young team, and new manager. It is there - and I'm at this stage hoping for continuity rather than rash changes.

That's the problem everyone has different ideas and visons and we change every season so no time to build..know it worked before but that was then. This is now. End up spending stupid £££ paying people off.

Slot is different he came into a ready made squad which was pretty good and just improved on them. Whereas our lot haven't had a decent squad. 

Be gutting however if we miss 5th CL place and Man U in Europa despite being shite in league and get it...
