I think to say we are shite is overboard, i’ll say it now and i’ll say it till it changes, we are inconsitent, and that is our problem. Last 2 games, same points and completely different performances. I think you take a bit to much credit away from Southampton to.
Thats were Whelan deserves credit, we only need to look at a club like blackburn to see that things could get worse very quickly.
My concern is that if there is a player RM wants, and genuinly feels that they could help us improve, we are missing out on majority of targets because player x costs 4 million, yet DW will only pay out 3 or 3.5 …or more so the case lately, loan them in first. Where do we go from there?
I am far from a darksider but even I would concede that sometimes the inconsistency of the team will fall onto consistent whinging from the fans.
Have we had a decent striker or set of strikers since being in the PL? I am not trying to avoid the point you are making, but i think to pin point one player for an entire system could be unjust (not saying you are, i’m being general). I come back to the point that somewhere along the line Whelan needs to put the money in when the player can make the difference. Teams around us are willing to spend beyond the 5million mark on players and we are sitting in their dust while they run away with safety. Like yourself Ace, my top priority should we survive is a striker, if I were in the team I think at this point I’d be deflated knowing pretty much everything comes to nothing.
Thanks, used post years ago when I worked at Goose Green but havent been on for a long while. I have to disagree with RM having not moved us along. The change in transfer policy has been something of a mix/match but all in all I would consider that to be one of RM’s strongest positives, long gone (a few exempt of course) are the days of taking a punt on the likes of agahowa and marlon king to name a few. We have a relatively young squad, that can, and has proved itself capable.
IMO the problem with the club at the moment seems to fall with Whelan, as said above and proven with this transfer window (believe the reports if you will) that players were within our grasp should we match the value. I;m not saying be held for randsom on every occasion, but when we know were in competition with other PL clubs, why are we holding out over 1 Million? I dread to think what would of happened if the likes of Valencia cost a touch more than we paid.
