Frank has had the carpet pulled right out from under him. We’re all laughing at West Ham’s owners saying they’re championship level, 20 years behind, well ours aren’t a million miles off. What a mess.
 
Did we delay tho? Palace wouldn’t sell until they had a replacement in place. I don’t see what more we could do?
People seem to think an extra £5m would have got the deal done beforehand. I don't buy it. We had no leverage, Palace had us bent over and there was fuck all we could do about it. Unfortunately it has bitten us on the backside.
 
Both flops.

The numbers you are saying for Jackson don’t justify tripling the money they paid for him. They upgraded him with Delap and Joao Pedo. Not exactly world beaters… if they decided those two are better than Jackson, he flopped
If you make money on a player I think they inherently cannot be a flop tbh. Even accounting for wages they will profit overall from having Madueke and Jackson at the club who simultaneously added value to the club intrinsically by helping them improve from 12th the season prior to 6th and then 4th. Kevin Wimmer wasn't good enough for Spurs but improved the squad while he was at the club and left for over quadruple what we paid for him, I don't think back about what a flop he was, I specifically remember an otherwise very forgettable player because it was the last time I can remember us actually doing the kind of smart business all elite clubs do on the side to help finance their big money moves.
