Confirmed Signing Anwar El Ghazi

Great, I’m just off to personally abuse him and his family on Twitter like all the other sooper bloos do.
Such unnecessary hyperbole. There are loads of people who don't think El Ghazi is an especially good player. The vast, vast majority say that on here and have zero interest in abusing him on social media or in person. The idea that you're either an unquestioning fan who shouldn't have a negative view of anything the club does or you're a virulent bed sheet scrawling social media troll hellbent on abusing managers and players is polarising nonsense. It's a shame that you are peddling that on here, given your position of responsibility.
 
There are a lot of posts about how we have to give the guy a chance and what not which sure, that's true, we should give him on a personal level a chance to show what he can do for us.

But as far as the business goes we don't need to wait to label this as completely idiotic. It's a position we don't need more players in. It's a position where we risk stunting the growth of our most promising young player by loading up on additional options to limit his minutes. It's a player who has never shown to be anymore than average at this level and who is not at an age where there should be any real expectation for him to get better. And crucially it's a transfer seemingly done by the owner reaching around any of the hopefully knowledgeable football people at the club to do the deal.

I get that everyone wants to wait and see the results before making a judgment. But signing players is about the process. You're going to get some right and some wrong regardless so the key is to have a system that minimizes the bad and amplifies the good. We've shown with this move that once again we are far, far away from the type of business we'll need to do if we have any hope of spending seasons in Europe again. It's really disappointing to see us not learn any lessons and the fact that it comes from the very top with Moshiri makes the situation seem a bit hopeless.
 

I thought Demarai Gray was a terrible signing so like all players I’ll be giving him at least five minutes on the pitch in blue before he gets a booing

In fairness, fans are sensible at the match with new players. Rondon was even allowed to be crap for a game or two whilst he found form, it wasn’t until his third or fourth match that we’d had enough

This lad scores more than most wingers and looks to be in the mould of Townsend where things will go wrong and not come off every time but he will get goals and assists and contribute, quite the opposite of signings in the past like Bernard who looked an incredible player but very rarely scored or assisted
