any more on our link with Darlow from forest?
Lilywhite as posted ages ago by me below, the deal has been finalised. The truth is Levy and Baldini are so busy trying to sort out the bigger mess.
The bigger mess being the one they created?
Alright pal calm down, simple question
The bigger mess as if we are a club in turmoil!?! Even after the "disaster" that has been our season we are on level points with the scousers. Understood we made a cupple poor transfer decisions but doesn't everyone? What do you people need to be apeased?
The bigger mess will come in the summer if we fail to secure CL for next season. LLoris has apparently indicated he will review his situation and I can only think Verts tweet from Florence was not without some intent to create a reaction.
Add that to the smoke surrounding our "squad" players and there is a fire getting ready to flare up in the camp if we don't make top 4.
The bigger mess is spending £109m on players who were unlikely to improve the team.
Soldado was never guaranteed to be better than Defoe or Adebayor.
Lamela than Lennon, Sigurdsson or Townsend.
Capoue was unlikely to improve upon Sandro, Dembele or even Holtby.
It's pretty safe to say with few exceptions ie Messi, Ronaldo, that any player joining a team near the top of the PL is not necessarily going to be an upgrade on an existing player.
The mess was manager, DoF and Levy not seemingly being on the same page . the continued failure to address obvious weaknesses in the squad ie.LB while loading up with "box to box" midfield players being one obvious issue.
Sorry Oracle, but Defoe isn't fit to lace Soldados boots! If AVB had played to his strengths, like Pellagrini does for Negrado, then we would see exactly how good a player he is!
