Not surprising, though. Our chairman doesn't even like football and he knows fuck all about it. Plus none of his yes men dare speak up.
Udogie is unreliable on many levels. Ben Davies can't play LB in this day & age. Micky's hammies won't hold. And Archie will be a star CF before he's a decent LB. Get that Ipswich kid in, he'll give Udogie a right (left) run for his money. May the best man win (I know who I'm backing). If Udogie still can't stay fit and/or up his levels, get another LB next summer to compete with Leif.
Same with the goalie situation...shouldn't have signed Kinsky in the first place but could've recouped some of that money by selling him to a Lille or Nice. We needed to go after someone like James Trafford or Anthony Patterson...they'd have backed themselves to nab the No 1 shirt of Vicario, and they're the future of the England team.
CB? Same deal. How is Romero still here when he clearly wants out and his value will be higher now than next summer? Could've used that money to go after a Guehi type.
CF? We going into a new season with Dom, Richy and Tel as options. Fuck me. Had we acted early and found the right words & financial package, even a kid like Delap would be here. And he wouldn't even be my star CF newbie.
But then again all the deals we've done so far this summer have been opportunistic stuff, not the result of thorough forward planning..we don't do any of that, big clubs do.
