The Board

Recommended Posts

Doesn't matter if it was Jose or the board but it was a pretty disastrous window in comparison to City and United in particular. Sure United have spend their money oddly but gradually improved and so have City. We got Pedro fine but we still lack in the CM department and also CB and still don't feel Baba is gonna be the LB that is a long term option unfortunately.

How can you go from potentially breaking the British transfer record for a defender to buying someone who plays for Reading it's just utterly bizarre. Hindsight is fine but surely the board must have known that after the first bid Everton were not going to budge. And we have to concede that if Man City were in for Stones it would be name your price we'll pay it. Lets be honest we don't come out well in the Stones saga. Everton obviously rate him and 20 million quid was peanuts to what they and remember there the selling club think he's worth in the current market.

When John Terry was first establishing himself with the first team and had played a couple of times for England if Man United had come in with a two million bid for him what would we have said. This was before Roman and J,T. was probably our only saleable asset. Lamps wasn't established Eidur would have made a decent profit if we sold him but J.T. on the cheap in 2002-3 and Stones now well like it or not Everton and there fans think 20 million quid is cheap and when Sterling goes for 50 million who can blame them.

The only thing I can think of is perhaps that the board are saving the money for next year. Maybe we'll get Pogba and Stones then.

nah.

When they sack Jose and have to offer him a comp package and we have to find a new manager and go through a whole new cycle, it has nothing to do with being fiscal imo.

I don't know, the board have been very shrewd financially over recent years.

Well after hearing about the marquino bid then this is clearly a panic situation.

Lack of options and we did exactly like we did two seasons ago.

Waste our time in shenanigans like Rooney and up getting poor options.

Now the same repeat scenario after stones.

Ridiculous to the highest degree.

One of the most shambolic windows I can remember. Who even are these players? What's the point in all these loans?

This could prove to be a disastrous season.
