  • Siggurdson.

    I don’t think that’s the issue. The issue is you buy a lot of bad characters and players who don’t work elsewhere you reap what you sow etc.

    Plus the Frank Lampard thing.

  • The issues are much more complex. But ultimately if you don’t have an overarching plan for player recruitment and you change manager regularly then you end up with the squad we have. Walcott and Tosun were bought under Sam Allardyce in 2018/19. Tosun is still here and has barely played in his time at the club. This problem extrapolated over 4-5 managers is why we have such a poor squad and so many nothing players we have spectacularly failed to move on. Yannick Bolassie only left the club at the start of this season, we had Muhammed Besic on our books for 6 (six) years.
