Not harsh enough bud.

All this time shes been thinking shes saved us money. With all her yes men surrounding her kissing her arse telling her what a great job shes doing so they can keep in with Roman.

She just sees the bottom line when she buys a cheaper player optionl but all it does is make us weaker. Which loses us much more in the long run.

I love Roman for what he did for us I truly do but she is Romans mouth,ears,head and balls and needs to sod off.

Marina Granovskaia is working very hard – Sarri 'confident' of January signings

The board is destroying the club. We are selling needed players before we have replacements, we are not selling the insane amount of deadweight we have (or at huge losses), we are missing out on target after target (the latest 2, if true, are Barella and Pareds, which make me rage).

WE are getting bullied by Juve over the Higuain (Higs in is also potentially a huge disaster, if he doesn't come good) deal to include a player we payed £18m for (Emerson) as part of the deal, which leaves us NO backup LB as well.

I see NOTHING being done to try and sort Hazard situation out, we may end up losing him for well over £100m less than he is worth.

The club is being slowly destroyed right before our eyes.

I do not like our future being gambled on via a rapidly in decline, rapidly ageing striker. I also cannot believe we are bollocksing up so many deals (ie Barella and Paredes as fresh examples) yet again.

I see almost zero mid to long term strategic vision and planning, and almost no efforts to sort out past disastrous moves like Drinkwater, etc. He alone is a massive £70m black hole on our balance sheet.

The window has taken a bit of turn from when it opened.  Started out strong, making a statement of intent, whether the correct statement of intent is arguable but making a statement nonetheless.  Slowly we've returned to a situation we've seen played out over many recent transfer windows.  Identify target, haggle for target, switch to option b over a couple million pounds on 30, 40, 50 million pound deals, fail on plan b, deadline day arrives, panic buy out an option out of nowhere.  Seen this scenario play out many times now.  It's like Groundhog Day. 

I hope we actually break the cycle this time and just put up the extra cash to get the targets we want.

Don't forget that we end up paying 75% of what option A would have cost us for option C who is 20% as good.

I may not agree with all the board decisions. My main gripe is on player contracts, losing (maybe) hazard and courtois for cheap is absolutely bad businesses decision for a big club like us. 

But in term of transfer, although I disagree with some of the signing but it depend on what the manager want. You can't just I want player x, y, z but the manager does not like his characteristics. That make 0 sense. People complained about drinkwater. I hated that signing but it make so much sense under Conte. We need an HG player and we need a midfielder to play in two man system.
