Playing Devil's Advocate here, but we signed Gueye
The Gueye deal was done quite a way after the initial Witsel reports
How do we know he wasn't the one we lined up?
I have thought all along that Gana was about Plan J.

That's a change of tune, given that when I first brought up the point and then subsequently, you said it was 'fantasy' and I'd been somehow taken in by Moshiri???Look, all I'm saying is that players of that notoriety (I wouldn't say calibre even for Witsel because I dont rate him...he's well overhyped) are going to play the field and keep clubs like ours on a piece of string as back up. That's all.
Not exactly an outrageous p.o.v.
I think it'd allow Barkley to start further back.Dreaming of us being able to one day sign players the calibre of Mata. If we somehow poached him in January, I'd happily shunt Barkley to the bench for the rest of the season.
Moshiri has it all to do. Done nothing yet and I think you give him a free pass. That was the point. Sustained, I think.That's a change of tune, given that when I first brought up the point and then subsequently, you said it was 'fantasy' and I'd been somehow taken in by Moshiri???
Maybe the reason the likes of Witsel would try and keep us 'on a string' is that we had no European football on offer and were a side who finished in the bottom half 2 years running........just a thought like.
Really? Didnt know about that..Big falling out between Koeman and him at S'ton. I doubt he'd want a repeat performance.
...Yep. He signed him in his first season there, but Tadic was benched a lot and disgruntled.Really? Didnt know about that..
Ok good to know ta pal...Yep. He signed him in his first season there, but Tadic was benched a lot and disgruntled.
If we are there or thereabouts come January, then I think we will invest to push for a top 4 spot. The difference is from the moyes era (when we regularly in touch with the top 4) is that we have the funds to do it.If we need players and the money is there why don't you see us buying in January. Surely that's a good time to get players at champions league teams who are either out of favour or been knocked out of the competition.
I think for many the fact that he promised greater spending (still does) by virtue of superior wealth to Kenwright, sacked an increasingly unpopular manager and publicly chased and secured a manager that many fans and media consider to be elite, while not earth shattering, is hardly 'nothing'.Moshiri has it all to do. Done nothing yet and I think you give him a free pass. That was the point. Sustained, I think.
He spent no money, had a negative net spend in fact and him sacking a manager that was terrible for two years doesn't impress me. This summer has exposed Moshiri for the chancer he is.I think for many the fact that he promised greater spending (still does) by virtue of superior wealth to Kenwright, sacked an increasingly unpopular manager and publicly chased and secured a manager that many fans and media consider to be elite, while not earth shattering, is hardly 'nothing'.
Hello 'mate'. What's Aldo been up to?He spent no money, had a negative net spend in fact and him sacking a manager that was terrible for two years doesn't impress me. This summer has exposed Moshiri for the chancer he is.
That's just normal operating activity for a team that sacks one manager and employs another.I think for many the fact that he promised greater spending (still does) by virtue of superior wealth to Kenwright, sacked an increasingly unpopular manager and publicly chased and secured a manager that many fans and media consider to be elite, while not earth shattering, is hardly 'nothing'.
You were fulsome in your praise of Martinez after a 0-0 draw at Cardiff, yet this guy gives us our best start in almost 40 years and he only gets a 4/10, to think it was on 6 months ago you saidThat's just normal operating activity for a team that sacks one manager and employs another.
There really has been nothing earth shattering so far. Will this feller eventually step up? Quite possibly. But so far I'd mark him at 4/10.
We don't. We don't KNOW anything apart from that Gueye, Williams, Bolasie and Stek signed. I think that's the point people are trying to make when people say the money is there when we don't know that for sure.Playing Devil's Advocate here, but we signed Gueye

And Witsel while I agree he doesn't overly impress me is certainly better than Cleverly or Gibson as backup or a replacement for Barry.Mata would do a better job than anyone we have in the last third. I think we can all see Barkley will never be a classic #10. I cant think of a player like that off the top of my head we've had since Beardsley.
