Country: England
I think this video encapsulates my issues with our hierarchy:
I think the biggest problem is the lazy approach to filling the gaps. We don't have money, we should be targeting young but promising players, gambles - yes totally, but would likely do better than the old sh!te we've signed up.
They'll be on much lower wages AND be much easier to shift on if they don't work out because of this and may still command a good fee simply because the promise may still be there.
Take Torreira for example, I don't think he's been a flop but a few people don't like him here, fair enough. I reckon we'd be able to shift him fairly easily if we wanted to and possibly for more than we bought him for as he's young and still has promise.
If we bought Nzonzi that Emery apparently wanted and he bombed we'd be looking at a dead asset that we probably couldn't move on, it's really that simple.
F*ck Raul and f*ck the rest of hierarchy.
