Agree,
But when the manager sticks one of our centre backs up front with 5 minutes to go, yet still has a €13 million striker on the bench, it really says it all - about our recruitment - and our manager.

Because one or two teams make a league......

My biggest concern is how we just don't look attractive to potential attacking talent. I'm not sure we can fully judge the likes of Locadia and Andone when they're shackled in defensive duties and barely get a run in the team.
Murray is good at defending, so that's why we're shoving him on in place of Andone... it is woeful.
That line sends an absolute shiver down my spine.

I think it says more about the manager. The players we've recruited have shown in the first season and a half that we're capable at this level, particularly at home against the mid-lower table teams: we were organised, hard working and bloody hard to score against. Since giving away that 2-0 against West Ham and more signifcantly that capitulation against Fulham, the players have looked all over the place and seemed to have completely lost faith in the direction that they were being given.

We'd have been a bit surprised we were spending that much for a player for the U23s, that's all. If he'd done well, we'd have been speculating on whether he'd go to Luton on loan next season, or somewhere else.

Only two teams look like winning the prem this year, one the year before, two before that, plus, there is likely to be only two English clubs in the champions league. This league is not as strong as people make out

Completely THIS. Astonishingly blinkered some of the views on here.
Though all four in the quarter finals would suggest otherwise, as would most pundits and the UEFA ranking system.
