I understand why he gets criticized after losses and not wins, but fail to see why it is stupid to hold him accountable when players he signed for high fees utterly fail to improve us as a team. For clarity, it is too early to judge signings from the past window, but it seems as though you think he is immune to any criticism whatsoever. Please enlighten the uneducated masses what his job is, because it seems player recruitment should be at the forefront. And if the manager is incapable of integrating such inspired signings, why does he still have a job?
As to your final point, which was impressively stated, the poster who I initially quoted cited 2 league titles as evidence for Txiki's effectiveness. In response, I said that Fern was the only player signed by Txiki who was influential in either of the aforementioned titles, so affording him credit was a bit daft. I admit I may have shortchanged Navas a bit, but your responses have been a bit nonsensical. Tending this site has undoubtedly been quite difficult over the last 12 hours, but repeatedly insisting that the masses are too daft to understand the DOF's job seems like an odd place to take a stand.
He has landed us Pep and God knows what players likely to now come and some want him sacked?
300 odd million spent in three years. Defense in absolute shambles, and aging. Not a single CM on the roster you could see starting for us in two years. Questionable striker depth. It's actually rather impressive. Cue the sycophants.
And you're back to exalting the players he has signed, without mention of the money spent or the ensuing results. It seems we are all predictable.
I do not doubt his unrivaled connections within the game or ability to land Pep, but fail to see how either is relevant to his distinctly average recruitment record here.
The way you talk about Guardiola so dismissively is pretty embarrasing, especially when you seem to fawn over somebody who's bordering on the incompetent.That's strange, did I miss an announcement of some note? All I heard was that Guardiola was leaving his present club in the summer. No announcement that we had signed him, so was this written down somewhere in invisible ink???? Mr Pellegrini is our Manager as far as I am aware but please enlighten me if we have got it in black and white somewhere that this other person has been signed.
This +1Oh we're back to blaming this guy every time we get beat after wanking themselves silly after he landed 2 of our top 3 targets in the summer and brought in the best defender in La Liga, the just landed us the best coach in the world.
Love Bluemoon.
Has anyone blamed Chappy yet?
This +1
We were on top last night till that wonder strike from Walcott, heads went then, poor play by Fernandinho & Mangala & we're suddenly 2 down. How is that Txixi's fault.
KDB scores or squares to Silva different story. We are having a shocking run of luck with form & injuries. Due a upturn.
Outplayed apart from the first 30 minutes and last 15 and beaten because of our own errors.We were outplayed by a team with worse injuries than us. Let go of those straws.
