Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

You do operate in a strange binary world don’t you ?

I think you’ll find me as one of the people who was highly critical of the fact that we were getting peanuts for players we sold

But on top of that we signed so many players on big contracts that stuck to us like barnacles and it clearly dented our ability to bring players in, yet you seem to want to make that same mistake again

HCZ it's simple, we've had an extremely poor transfer strategy in this club for ages and that was because of our obsession with youth and all manner of cheapness started by AW.

When he became desperate towards the end of his reign thats when things changed and we started getting class like Laca and Auba (both paying top dollar for in the same year).

You buy who you need, can afford and will add value to your squad.

To make it crystal clear, IMO the only position we have that gives me sleepless nights is Partey's. If he gets injured today and the club don't sign cover before January, IMO they are not serious.

If he gets injured later (after January) and its clear that we went downhill because of his absence, I will still blame the club because it was obvious to all that his position is pivotal.

All I am saying, is if you identify a proper potential target that will add value, sign him and stop coming up with silly excuses of age or any other crap.

Go the extra mile, leave your comfort zone, do what it takes to win.

This is the most difficult league in the world, you can't just fill a checklist and expect you'll win by being ordinary.

And stop being silly, we're obviously going to finish in the top 4.
