Yes, they’ve rolled the dice for sure. But, at the risk of repeating myself and being misunderstood again, that loss is only 4 million more than the full deal value for Caicedo and far less than we’ve made in transfers in the current FFP assessment period.

Agreed. It is frustrating though, in that we're in the last 16 of a European competition, top ten in the EPL and could have had Coventry at home between us and another trip to Wembley, all of which talks to upward trajectory. We're also one injury to Billy Gilmour away from the season being...

Absolutely, but surely there's a good chance Alonso goes to Bayren? Three big clubs way ahead of us in the pack all looking for a new coach in the summer. He'll be on at least one of the shortlists, if not more, and then we'll have to appoint from left field again as those three hoover up...

He’s wilfully misunderstood or misquoted almost every post that makes him look bad, while not doing the same with others. That’s what Trump does - whose support you put on ignore.

:facepalm:

Well, yes. But also I’m being mis quoted and mis represented and his last post was a blatant lie. @phoenix I bear you no ill will at all, but you can’t just post stuff you think happened- it undermines your whole point.

You quoted it!

Nope.

Did you not read the bit in my original post you quoted about how good our midfield was in Potter’s last full season- so it obviously includes Biss who played for Potter that season, and whose transfer fee still counts towards our FFP headroom. I don’t think comprehension is your strong point...

No it wasn’t. F+++ing learn to read!

A midfield. Not a midfielder. Try to read properly. Caicedo + Biss + Mac Allister = a midfield and around 190 - 200 mill in total deal value depending on whose prices you believe

But they literally can’t spend all that because of FFP. Are you not keeping up with Everton’s woes? Potential other cases? Martin Samuels crying about Newcastle not being able to spend despite their Saudi ownership? Let’s now take a guess at the club who sold a midfield for nearly £200 million...

You think Bloom’s not a billionaire? :laugh: We had arguably the second or third best midfield in the league at the end of Potter’s last full season. We’re easily in the bottom 10 now. Without Gilmour bottom three.

He’s had his spirits crushed under the weight of our injuries of late but this is the same De Zerbi who went mental at the end at Forest, which was November or dived into the crowd against Palace which was a few weeks ago. This is another one of your generalised, pseudo cynical, trolling posts...

This would have been exactly my response too. We have a recruitment team at the end of the day. The coach can feed into that or he can get a deal over the line, but the words of the club have always been that the coach coaches and recruiters recruit. There have been instances where people...

Nailed it 👍

You say bad patch. 9th in the Prem, last 16 of the Europa League and with our attackers devastated and no midfield. Potter just about got half that that with Bissouma, Caicedo, Mwepu, Mac Allister and Trossard.

Again, there’s “blame” on Bloom here. We will only ever play possession football, regardless of coach, because we want every team in the club to have that philosophy. Hughton went when we sat back instead. I actually think TB is spot on, but I don’t reckon we’ll have a pragmatic coach for a...

I fully realise that but that wasn’t my original point. My point was where is the evidence that Fati and Dahoud were down to RDZ. You’ve provided no answer or evidence for that at all. If we were that good at recruitment we’d not let a new manager just bring his players in. :shrug:

The most bang average player left in our squad
