That’s not really what’s happened this summer is it?
There was a thread dedicated to Jesse Lingard receiving 200k a week
There was then moaning that we weren’t going to buy anyone - we then bought three players with more looking likely
We’ve got a lot of complaining about Ross Barkley although I haven’t seen a single credible link to him
Assessing that a player might not be good enough is fine, but there seems to be a lot of moaning about the provenance of the player, our scouts don’t look outside the PL etc. etc. what does that have to do with anything?
There’s just far too much catastrophising and it’s not your smug version of ‘some of us knew what was going to happen’, it’s a load of crying about stuff that hasn’t happened and might not ever happen.
As for your last point in bold, a bit laughable this when you’ve also complained I slate the players all the time. I’d like to think I’ve been fairly consistent in saying that recent squads have been nowhere near good enough as they’ve been based around a rotting core of Coleman Keane Kenny Davies Gomes Siggurdson etc. with too many injuries to first team players to stop this lot getting back into line ups.
In fairness, we have bought one player so far, not 3.
