We have to get a playmaker in. There was a stat somewhere that we won possession of Brighton 7 times in their third of the pitch and they won it 0 times in ours yet scored 4. We don’t have the quality to make the most of those opportunities. Winning the ball back that many times in that area of the pitch should lead to goals- but it isn’t, so that is clearly a weakness.
 
Whats the point of getting a CF type player? We don't have wings backs or wing forwards to do a CF justice.
We need a 9 who has the pace to match the touch and strike - until the wide men that are needed are found.
DCL and Maupay seem to be the furthest thing from what the current team needs.
Has Vardy got a younger brother?
 

Yep a 6 million pound bargain.

TBF he was blatantly taken out very cynically by that invisible ghost. Penalty all day long! Stone waller.

Been the issue for i dont know how long mate. But it doesnt have to be a playmaker. How the hell did brightons midfield the other night cost 12m in total and all of them do their jobs. They put us to bed because they go and recruit players who can do it. We have players who struggle to pick out a final ball. Who are composed. Could you imagine a player like doucoure being signed by brighton. They wouldnt even let him on the team bus, unless he was driving it.
 

Does make me laugh at how Sandro always gets lumped in with the other yard dogs. Waste of money? Yes hopeless at football? Yes but the fella only cost 6 million
Expensive deal overall though. Probably cost us about £20m all in, for virtually no return at all. Some others might have cost £40- £50m all in but at least offered some sort of meaningful contribution to the team so relatively speaking they’re in the same ballpark.

20m all in is the worst case scenario though. He spent 6 months at the club and the rest on loan for 2 and a half years, you'd have to think the loans he went on clubs were picking up at least half of the wages. Sevilla definitely so and that's without if them or sociedad paid a fee

Isco is available on a free, give him a 1 year contract.

Very much doubt there was a fee considering how desperate we were to get rid and don’t remember one being mentioned, certainly after the Sevilla one. He also obviously didn’t just walk away from his contract, he’ll have had severance pay. So if we say he was on £100k a week and we paid that for 6 months then 4 1/2 years at £50k that’d be £15m, plus the transfer fee on top. So it’s not really worst case, because it’s possible we were paying all or at least more than half his wages (I doubt Valladolid we’re paying him £50k a week).
