Again, you can't give it 3 games and make that conclusion, well you can, but it's completely unfair.
It's still Mancini's signings? It's still Hughes signings as well then! Of course there is going to be player continuity, and just because 1 manager couldn't get the best out of some of them doesn't mean the next won't as well.
You can't judge Fernandinho and Paulinho after 3 games either, both have had steady if unspectacular starts. Barca haven't been as dominant since and they were struggling before Laporta took over. I think some people gave 3-5-2 more of a chance than they have a new manager this season and it's rather stupid 2bh.
If a bad player was signed under Hughes, rightly a lot was put down to our negotiators, but he did force through the RSC deal. With Bobby, last year when Garcia, Maicon and Sinclair turned up all 3 were being blamed on Bobby when even Marwood let slip they were 3rd choices. The slippery little *wats wanted Bobby out and used the transfer window to do that. Pellers isn't involved in this, but Tixxi has been involved for over a season and was still looking at Cavani after Bobby left. We support the club, I want to see us win trophies, they decided to undermine the manager, therefore misleading us, as to their intentions last season. I feel we are going to be treading water for the next two season's until Pep is free. Merchant Bankers!
Barcelona's resurgence was about the link with Michels, Cruyff, Vand Gaal and Rijkaard setting up a seamless club structure, which had nothing to do with the new 2. Those sat around me against Hull, thought it a shambles. at times not even worthy of Leslie's era. That said we won.
