That's why I said it was a wildcard.
Depends.
I've been thinking the same. If we're free falling down the league at some point the board are going to have to make a change, they'll be looking for someone with Premier League experience to steady the ship even as an intern.
I've got this bizarre theory that there's some sort of psychological hex at the club, where players are pretty good when they first arrive but gradually slide down to our level of general shitness. I just can't see how it's possible to spend so much money on so many players and be so awful.
By spending so much money on players who are awful, and over paying for shit.
I posted as a joke but we’ve tried elite, no worked…..we’ve tried to be entertainers worked kinda until the other team got the ball, we tried the young gun but didn’t see it through we all agree our squad is dogshit we’re years behind Chelsea & Arse and we ain’t competing with them we’re are or have turned into mid table spoilers the Stoke , West Brom or Fulham’s won’t win fuck all but every now will fuck someone over perhaps a Sam Allardyce is maybe what we deserve
Yep,that's the sort of money Liverpool, Man City ect were spending 7 or 8 years ago.
I thought Bentancur and Kulusevski were excellent when they first joined when the team were good in Conte's first season, for some reason they haven't been that good since. Danso seemed pretty good when he first joined but seems to have regressed, Spence was highly regarded but recently been described as not good enough, same with Porro. Palhinha's and Kudus's first two or three matches were impressive but not so much now, apart from Kudus's goal yesterday. Same with Udogie and Sarr.
Yes ideally but given time by an very impatient fan base and definitely backed to the hilt by the club
There's no hex, there's just a board who have (to their credit) created a financial juggernaut but have no idea what to do with it or how to make it compete.
Its not the transfer fees which is the measure, it's the wages. We do not attract elite talent.
If we did that I think I'd just check out for the next couple of seasons, go support the local team
