You know what I mean, we cut corners wherever we can. When looking for a manager we weren't looking for a top class manager because we didn't want to pay the salary or give them the transfer kitty they may ask for, so in the end we got Emery.Originally Posted by Letters
We should have really gone for someone top class rather than Emery.
I don't really understand your stance on the club in this area. You simultaneously say this and also say that we waste far too much money on salaries for mediocre players (something I agree with).
So which is it? Do we cut corners wherever we can or waste money?
We do waste too much money on salaries, we pay average players too much (or at least we use to), my point is that we do cut corners, there's very little planning on the whole and when we do sign expensive players it's reactionary rather than planned, we react to fan pressure basically.
By cutting corners I mean that when we were looking for a manager we just weren't interested in top managers, we didn't want to pay the salary or offer them the transfer pot they would want, this is pretty unusual for a top club, most top clubs try to recruit the best managers on the whole, ocassionally they deviate from this but on the whole it's the case.
This club doesn't do anything properly, so we let Ramsey and Sanchez run down their contracts and yet give new contracts to the likes of Xhaka. Now we have Aubameyang and Lacazette running down their contracts so it's happening again, so basically we re-sign the rubbish but let out best players run down their contracts and eventually leave.
In the summer we needed a CB desperately, what do we go and do , we sign a kid who can't play for a year, as much as I'm glad we've signed him we need a CB to play now.
