I agree that we got found out too easily in tournaments.
If the Welsh FA either don't know who is better or won't pay for someone better then we have a problem. |

Must have been a better offer than a fish supper in Rossi's, a tub of Joe's and the other side of the pond putting a block on transfer plans at the last minute. |

It's looking like a fight about money and who runs the premier league - if the oil rich foreign owners win then the gap between them and the rest, let alone the gap to any team that gets promoted, will be enormous.
The strength of the Premier League is that it is competitive. Man City have been the strongest team for 4 years but that isn't good enough for their owners. Their owners want to use their money to make the league even less competitive and for them to keep winning.
As ever money and greed looks to ruin everything. |

Indeed.
Not a one man up top player but, with an injection of confidence, may work playing with a big centre forward. Didn't fit into our tactics and didn't look happy on the pitch a lot of the time.
The signings of Yates and Kuharevich suggested that someone on the recruitment side might have thought they could play up top together at some stage, but no manager wanted to do that.
I can only assume that the Kuharevich mystery is something that has happened behind the scenes, because he didn't have the time on the pitch to warrant being shut out in the way he was. Did he fall out with all 3 managers or the non-playing side?
Whichever it was I don't see either Yates or Kuharevich having a future here and can't see us matching what Lowe could get elsewhere.
The issue is are we going to wait until we shift players on before getting the forwards we so badly need and risk those we've scouted going elsewhere or are we going to get players in and risk having players that aren't wanted on the wage bill?
With Levein holding the purse strings I suspect that it will be sell before we buy |

He wasn't anything to write home about in one season with Watford and lasted 6 months at Reading.
However he was still highly regarded as a coach from his time at Chelsea and presumably he learnt a lot from his time as a manager at those clubs..
I think those other clubs developed him so that he was ready for us at that time, in the same way that we have developed Cooper and Martin for their next jobs.
Potter I don't think needed development as such, just exposure over here. I suspect Brighton had been watching his progress in Sweden before he joined us. |

I also saw Frank Jr and thought he was living off his father's name and connections and was nothing special. Cooper had seen Gyokeres at age level but in our team he didn't look all that. Maybe a run of games would have been a different story.
Don't understand why anyone doesn't want me to scout for them. |

Don't disagree. Burnley didn't have the players to play the way Kompany wanted to play in the top division. We didn't have the players to play the way Martin wanted to play in the championship.
If you have the resources of Man City you can pay to get the be players in, other teams have to cut their cloth according to their budget.
That's where our signings in the Martinez era were good, however we were looking at a type of player other clubs weren't- ahead of the times. |

I think that you were a bit harsh and that he would benefit from a better balanced midfield. As would others. But is he playing to orders?
Probably could do with a rest from time to time but we don't have the quality in depth to do that if he is fit and ready to play. |

Just 3 wins in last 13 games and only 8 at home in the season.
Harsh to be sacked when finishing 7th but the owner clearly believed that they should have made the play offs. Time will tell. |

Not interested in who comes down, more interested in what we do.

Sorry if my point wasn't clear. There is no such thing as a free lunch similarly no such thing as a free transfer.
As you state not paying a transfer fee means that what would have been paid to a club can now be paid to a player in wages and/or signing on fees. |
