Ferran Soriano & Txiki Begiristain

[Eds]

Our succession planning and transfer dealings have by and large been wholly inadequate.

Who's pushing Toure/Silva/Kompany/Aguero... we have one winger in the entire squad, yet we play a four man midfield.

Bony, was a waste of money - he brings nothing that Aguero/Dzeko/Jovetic don't already have

Sinclair, Sagna, Fernando should never have been identified as suitable candidates for our squad.

It's like we did all our big business 2010/2011 and think we can just dine out on the same players for years to come.

did you watch the game yesterday? his hold up play was outstanding and something we have been missing, people can argue dzeko can do the same if he can i am yet to see it.

I agree to a certain extent in terms of who is pushing those four players. However Bony won more headers last night than Edin has all season and he held the ball up and bullied their defence in a way Edin and Jove don't and can't. All three are different players and therefore all three bring something different to the party. Sagna was signed as a replacement for Micah and within FFP rules (and he is better than Micah who can't get a regular game for Fiorentina). Sinclair is not at the level we wanted and only Marwood can answer why he was bought. My guess is something to do with the homegrown rule and a half decent season with Swansea. Fernando I will reserve judgement on as having seen him play for Porto he is a better player than he has shown us. Garcia didn't pull up any trees in his first season and to be fair to Fernando he shouldn't be playing in a midfield two with Yaya.

The vast majority venting anger on the boards over the last few days would no doubt be laughing off such small blips, should they be happening at any other club as nothing to worry about and saying they are still in a fantastic position.

We are emotionally involved here and whilst its understandable to have a certain amount of knee jerk reaction due to that tie, there comes a point to sit back and just think before going off half cocked.

Season is not over yet and even if we don't win the league or CL, we will be back challenging again next year and that's a guarantee.

I'm not sure its knee jerk as such fella.

This is no dig at anyone but their have been people questioning Txiki and Pellegrini all season. To me it just seems like more and more people are becoming wise to the situation.

Yet Txiki and Pellegrini won a league and cup double just last season.

Chelsea and Mourinho won fuck all last year yet all of a sudden they are the epitome of everything perfect in the world of football and our club is an example of everything being done wrong?

Its knee jerk mate.

This season is not over yet.

I suspect that is because many view Chelsea as strengthening their team and as a result are progressing whereas we seem to be regressing a bit this season. That trend may of course reverse next year.

Chelsea have wasted money as well.
