I think I addressed that point in my massive rant!& who bought 13 players of this not good enough squad
David f***ing useless Moyes
Unfortunately we've needed all but one of those 13 signings. I know it doesn't work like this but it averages out at about 2.5 million per player. What sort of premier league player do you expect to get for that. Risks, expierenced players (has beens), or youth who other clubs have already decided won't reach the very top.
I've argued all season that we needed both quality and to increase the squad. We just didn't have the funds.
Mvila should have bought regardless of the cost or savings, even though I like NDong.
Papy on paper is a good signing. Unfortunately he has too many brain farts in him, but perhaps if he's not next to pva who was the same he might come good but I'm not holding my breath.
Are the signings we made good enough, no I don't think so if I'm brutally honest but for the cost of them and the wages they'll be on then possibly.
The other benefit of bringing in this many known quantities is that Moyes maybe trying to break up dressing room cliques and restore power to the manager. But I'm probably reading far to much into it, and that we signed them as they liked Moyes, no other fecker wanted them and were all we could afford.
As I said next year even if we sell Pickford and kone borini and Khazri we have nearly a decent first 11 for a crack at the championship. We'd realistically need a centre half and 2 strikers.
We've already signed some of the better championship players and realised how poor they are, the bulk of this team is too good for the championship but unfortunately not premier league class when all together.
It's also the massively unbalanced nature of our squad that is a problem. Currently we have about 6 centre midfielders who can't run.
And now I've just ranted again. I need to step away from the computer!
