Dean changed the formation and brought Jack into the middle and we were still dire. Recruitment has been absolute crap, especially in the midfield. Trez, although give his best, wouldn’t make it into the top 6 in the championship. I’ll get crucified for saying this but Jack needs to go for his own career. We get £60-£80 mil, sack Jesus, and bring in someone that has a clue about English football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially, yes. But if Southgate takes his head out of the sand it may not matter what league we’re in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I said this in another thread but the model should have been to bring in at least two established PL players and not those who might work coming from overseas. We should have moved heaven and earth to sign two players like Milner and Cahill. Waiting a season for the likes of Trezeguet, Wesley and Luiz to come good was foolish and looks like costing us. It's actually farcical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Ultimately DOF is only guided by what the owners want to do. If they want majority of signings to be under 25 players with potentially decent sell on fees that's ultimately the type we'll scout and sign. If they insisted we sign 3-4 experienced top level players we'd have signed them. I personally don't think Suso should just be getting all the stick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Said it in the other thread but not a single real hit from £150 million spent. It's really poor stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Done a great job for other teams. All well and good having players with potential, but if they are not able to help you in the here and now yet what's the point. We go down, and then they will all be off and no doubt doing well at other teams. Exactly the same as last time we were in the Prem with Gana, Veretout, Adama etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 He gets a thumbs up from me for Targett, Mings and Samatta. The others clearly need time. The only signing I'd call out as a true dud is Trezeguet. How realistic is it to expect 6-8 signings who all land on their feet whilst having enough quality? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett was diobolical yesterday and at his best has been bang average. Trezeguet really is bad though. Has no pace whatsoever and yesterday tried that schoolboy tactic of knocking the ball one way round a little kid and running the other side. He's so far out of his depth it's painful to watch.

It’d be like us going out and signing players like McNeil, Lundstram, Dubravka, and so on. 17 hours ago, DCJonah said: Said it in the other thread but not a single real hit from £150 million spent.
