Are they going to be replaced by more Sanchez and Disasi type players? Reddish-Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they are, 2 of the only players over 22 years old they brought this summer and both are can openers impersonating as footballers.

That's what happens when you don't have transfer planning, you start signing players that are either not needed or just bang average. Seems to be between us and United for who has wasted more money in the recent transfer windows. There's a reason why Liverpool/Arsenal are in the mix for the title and we are barely hanging onto 10th place on the table. Will be interesting to see what happens with Poch in the coming weeks. Felt like we made a bit of progress against Arsenal/City, then somehow went backwards by the Newcastle thrashing and then not even putting up a fight against United.

Thor 2,701 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 This forum is pure dross. Same people wanting the next new shiny toy - after saying the previous shiny toy would answer our problems and get us back into top 4. Most of you are spoiled brats who don't want to give anything time to breathe and settle. We're oozing with talent that needs time to band together and gel. Our key players have been riddled with injuries this season, and we have a near completely new team. We'll just sign more players, y'all will act like the management team is finally doing something, then claim that player is shit - just like you guys have with every player we've signed. Its pure, pure dross on here. Some of you deal with a bit of adversity like peasants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is some of y'all playing these sad tunes acting like the world is over This is exciting for me. We have young talent, we are playing better football - and we just outplayed every team in the typical "top 4" talks in our stretch of games. Then we lose some winnable ones. Signs of a young team that just need to grow and add a bit of experience. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepower777 36 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Let's be honest there are a couple of players that we were conned by the selling clubs Brighton in particular. Cucerella is super shit while Caceido is decent but never worth that amount, couple of other clubs also scammed us. I'm not sure on what principles we decide to buy players or pay so much for them.

The thing about Caicedo - you can't really blame him. He is super young. If anything fingers need to be pointed by the recruiting team that shelved a huge amount for just one player. Both Enzo and Caicedo are among the youngest in the squad and are entrusted with the most critical roles on the pitch, in central midfield. If either of them are off their game, the team is punished for it. Can they grow by just learning from each other, and with no experienced head in central midfield to learn from? I don't know. And if they don't, they are just going to be chastised for it. And say one of them eventually improves, are they going to stick around in a team that doesn't challenge for anything? The club could become just a feeder for another team that does. Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have a terrible squad and I do think some of the players are quality - Enzo, Palmer, Colwill, Reece - but I can see the good ones angling for a move if we continue to stockpile youngsters Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,815 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 The owners deserved the criticism they have received for the recruitment so far. But I have to give them credit, they are not shy about signing checks to go after who they want. Biggest overall signing in sports history for the Dodgers. How many owners would pull the trigger on that deal? There is no way that says chasing profit: That is chasing titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t doubt they are successful franchise owners in US sports. But they are out of their depth in football and still think throwing money at average 20 yos will solve their problems here.

They hit lightening after buying the Dodgers in going out and buying the best young kids that delivered in a few years. They still think it will come good at Chelsea.
