And the year after, and after.

Postives for season : First 12 games, maybe best Premiership start ever? Won a trophy (there's only 1 team above us that has won a trophy this year and possibly Arsenal next weekend)

Negatives for season : Next 12 games and home form (very poor!)

Next season : Think the spine of the team is fine, but creativity and strategy needs to improve. Creativity by 1/2 players and strategy from the manager. And of course, try and buy some home grown players as the French contingent are clearly not 'up for it'

 

Yea, got agree about needing new players and stop playing the crappy french rejects, but without the money from the Champions league I'm afraid we wont have a great deal to spend.

I wonder who'll we'll buy; so much money to spend...

 

Turkish - problem before has been overspend on purchase of too many bad players. Maybe not having so much money is a good thing, that way it means say 2 players (poss 3) of good quality, rather than 5 or 6 of inferior std ?

Having an open cheque book is always a problem. Sometimes I see money as a get out clause for managers, when they should be working with the resources that they have and then supplement with 1 or 2 key purchases.

Lets trim the squad, get the wage bill down thereby demonstrating financial payback and get 1 quality playmaker, 1 winger and 1 proven striker. No more players of potential please (we have enough of those), proven experience in Europe or EPL is the criteria.

I see we are 3rd favourites for the title next year.

 

I'm sure you have Turkish! lol

Cheers!

 

lol, I am sure we have some great French players for the right price.
