Sometimes transfers don't work out. I am glad we are not a club that spend on the wrong transfer just to have a body in.
Just need a little patience I believe and things will come good.

Almost. He deliberately avoided Bloom and family but shook everyone elses.

There's an argument that had we kept Mac and Caicedo we'd have had a fair chance of winning the Europa League. Will we ever be in a similar position again? I very much doubt it.
A draw away is always good. A clean sheet is always good.
Just a shame it was against a team with the ambition of a homeless paraplegic.

Indeed. But I'll always go for the later. Profit stops the club going bust - better to be in the lower divisions than out of business.

Amazed he mentioned the injuries.......
Alas, he had to mention it in public yet AGAIN. Otherwise how can he justify our barrenness, really, especially if he was gagged to whine about a lack of "decent" replacements?

We are all aware what happened 30 plus years ago embrace change it’s a different club now. A lot of moaning tonight about the performance I’ve mentioned we could of done with signing a few players this season and it’s go and support Chelsea or Christ don’t you remember Hereford
as I say a strange fan base.I don’t see why not? Even if it’s not this season we have every chance of getting back into Europe again and once you are there then anything can happen.

A different kind of pasty
Why very much doubt it? As little as 10 years ago, if you’d told me we would qualify for a European competition and win a group containing AEK, Ajax and Marseille I’d have thought you were on drugs.
Personally have no reason to doubt we’ll qualify for Europe again in the next couple of years.

Whilst hard to replace an experienced dm from somewhere would have certainly helped, a creative player to take the load of Mitoma certainly would have helped.
I believe we identified the right player in KDH although he was probably to old for the ‘model’

We are in a fabulous place and the future looks great but is it not OK to say that last night we looked totally lacking in ideas and nous? Yes we have injuries but too many players looked, to me, well off the pace and it was a game that was screaming out for someone to take responsibility. Every shot of RDZ’s frustration was exactly how I felt as well! Gross had a poor game for me and when he misfires, the team tend to as well.
Watch us now go out and beat Arsenal

Locadia, Jahanbakhsh, dahoud to name but three...
Wasn’t keeping Mac essentially impossible? His contract was running out and he only signed a new one because we agreed to a release mechanism (I believe that was the term rather than release clause).

Keeping both of them was which is why I find harking back to them all the time so frustrating.
We didn’t sell them because of the model or the money but because they both wanted to leave and in Caicedo’s place, he basically downed tools. We simply made the most of it by getting in the huge money, I think we’d have kept them both if they would have stayed.
And how does one back RDZ when the players you want aren't available? Do you just buy someone, anyone, to show that you're backing him, despite that player not being the right one?
If we had forced Caidedo to stay, turning down £115m, we'd have had a very unhappy player. We couldn't force Mac to stay because we obviously extended his contract with a clause that meant he could leave. So no, we wouldn't have been winning the EL. If Pedro hadn't got injured, we may still be in it though.
Roberto moaned about club policy all last spring wanting more to say in our transfers. Bloom and Barber said ok lets go with that sining 2 confirmed hand picked Roberto players in Dahoud and Fati and would not be shocked if Igor is also in that category but lets stick just with the confirmed. Fine Roberto you got the players you wanted instead of players the club wanted but dont come moaning afer 6 monts saying we didnt give you players. Come january Roberto is asking for 3-4 new Dahouds and Fatis and some how people are pissed off and surprised he couldnt get it. If his squad isnt good enough its his own making. We dont have Alexis replacement because Roberto wanted his instead of our player
