You don't just sign players for the sake of it, this was the chance to build a squad but now we're stuck with players no-one else wants and we're likely getting a manager who will have to work with what he's got as there is every chance FFP comes to bite us without UCL money next season. Compare us to Newcastle and they are absolutely flying....Bruno G was a class signing and their big name signing is actually looking the goods up front (Isak). Sterling cost just short of £50m. I was against the signing from day one, but once again, those making such calls fail to see the blatantly obvious. As I stated in the previous post, the majority of signings under Boehly's ownership are for the future, which includes Mudryk as well. The business we did last summer was dire, and it's showing with us wanting to offload most before the season has even come to a close. Newcastle have completely different expectations, having just avoided relegation last season and playing this season with no European commitments to worry about. Let's see if the same players can deliver when the stakes are much higher. 2 hours ago, Special Juan said: Ziyech is probably the most limited footballer I have seen in the last 10 years I take it that's based on his occasional appearances for us rather than for the Ajax side that reached a Europa League final in his debut seasons (providing 20 assists in 46 games) or the Ajax that choked in the CL semis (involved in 45 goals in 49 games). Your statement is very telling. Edited April 28, 2023 by LAM09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
