I'm giving Moshiri 2 years to show me how great he is for this club and I won't be disappointed.
Why did we not sign all these players we were after?, my view is the state Martinez left us in, with two bottom half finishes, and competing against clubs with CL or Europa football are the reasons, you don't have to look any further than that.
Koeman has said over the weeks it's hard to attract top players when you don't have Europe and other CL teams are after the same players.
Perez - went to a CL club
Sissoko - went to CL club
Brahimi - Porto kept increasing the fee/notably difficult to deal with, already at a CL club
Compare our signings this window to the other teams outside the top 4, we are in the top 2/3 for teams that had the best window.
If we had finished 6th last season, we could have sold the project much easier, but if we'd finished 6th, Martinez could have still been here.
I'm not in a panic over this, Koeman and Walsh need to get scouting and bring in a couple of players in January, if we keep most of the key players fit and playing till then, we will be in and around that top 6.
