Big Fat Nacer Chadli.

Absolutely.

We also have to point the finger at the backline Harry made. We were all about attack, yet had such a fragile defence before we brought in Nelson.

Kaboul
Benny

Gallas (ageing)
King (fragile)
Bongo (as useful as a chocolate teapot, here only for novelty)
Dawson (hardly played, got injured in March)
Walker (21, not really much more experience in our first team than CCV has now)
Adam Smith (ummm)
Bassong (loan out in Jan)
Corluka (loan out in Jan)

Despite what anyone would think, that's a side that Redknapp built. In fact, he binned off both Corluka and Bassong in January on loan! It's one thing saying "Levy didn't back him in January", but Redknapp also skinned the squad down and went off blabbing on about Tevez, who the rules meant we couldn't sign anyway.

Mental how he threw away that season and then shrugged his shoulders at the end and demanded he be given a new contract.

He was always about now, and not for the future. He did a good job, but tbh. it was always very much short term.

Much of the PL is short term for managers though, the reality is the now for most of them with good reason, don't do a good job now and they get the boot , forget the future.

Yep, they are just part of the problem. I'm just happy that we have a manager at the top who plans long term now..

On the outs with Pulis apparently. Tried to force a move to Swansea in the summer to replace Gylfi.
