If you get away to a reasonable start you can attract better players who want to be associated with a team on the up and a positive dressing room.... clearly we are going to struggle with that at the moment

When you see players like this going to our rivals, it infuriates me that we spent the whole Summer chasing McClean. There were so many better players out there than him.

Not done much since a really bad cruciate injury and he’s 29. Exactly the kind of signing that got us in this mess so don’t blame us for steering clear, although knowing our luck he’ll no doubt find his form and blast them to promotion

Bolasie is recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury and has lost several yards of pace, is 29 and lacks game time.
The signings we should be making is that of the Ollie Watkins mould, young and hungry, on the way up and not in terminal decline. For a relative pittance too. Anyone defending our recruitment policies...look at Brentford's data and recruitment team.

The pizza boys don't want to be judged until the window closes, if they're going to pull a rabbit out of the hat now it'll need to be bugs fucking bunny to turn the shit show of this summer around.
I want to know why we didn't sign Chester, were not in for Douglas & danny Simpson.
Chuck huth into that you have a new back 4 ffs. 2 of them won the premiership a couple of years ago, one won the championship last season and Chester was their best player.
What a cock up of mamouth proportions

But Steve Bruce was on ssn in a garden pleading poverty at one stage, mulling the future without their best players. it looked like a charity advert. It was the biggest " please come & buy our best players we really need the money" you are likely to see. At that point I'm sure we could have got him? |

To be honest at one point I was really concerned that we would lose not only Grealish and Chester but possibly Kodja and Adomah as well UTV |

Exactly the kind of signing that got us in this mess so don’t blame us for steering clear, although knowing our luck he’ll no doubt find his form and blast them to promotion Agree emphatically with that! Players like that a tempting, beucase your first thought is their burst of pace, a drilled cross shot - but ultimately this one comes in a package of ego, injury/fitness doubts, higher wages than everyone else in your team, questionmarks over form, and learning curves. Just because the answer was not Maclean, doesn't mean it was Bolasie. But there were at least 12 better options than Maclean to go for. (and Bolasie!) |

Not seen it confirmed but looks like Abraham is going as well whilst we sit around with our head up our own arse. What a fucking scandal.
Apparently Spurs bid £25m for Abraham on TDD too!
