How do you assess our transfer business?

Which will be our downfall.

Rodri and Gundo can't do what Fernandinho has done.

Without him in centre midfield the team was less solid.

The difference between Chelsea's summer window and ours is stark.

But surely Fernandinho can, and I appreciate getting older, but will be used sparingly

Trust in those who are working for the club. Sometimes we don't get the players we want, but by and large we have done OK. I remember, dear Peter The Swales, who is a bit like the Glazers. (or vice versa)

We have a club with growing pains, that's all, restricted by a corrupt UEFA with FFP. Its not always perfect but imagine what the others are thinking (rags, dippers, tarquins, clowns, arses,etc) how can we stop them, lets adapt the rules when CFG are cleared. We are slowly and assuredly selling the brand worldwide, whereas the Ticket Tout follows the best team in salford.

Yes or course, however as you say he can't play every game. Gundo and Rodri just can't do what he does.

When people here say we need legs around Rodri it just means we've bought the wrong player.

That's possible, but there is the question of who else was available & now we do have him, we need to balance the team when he (or any of the other options) plays.

lacklustre and inadequate, but we'll be down that path until we move with where football has moved to.

Moved since we won every domestic trophy with 99 points, really?That was quick.

Pleased with the two we have bought but had hoped to get a definite starter, right sided centre back in with enough time for some pre-season work with the rest of the team. Not 100% convinced by KK - it will not be popular on here but I think we would have done well to sign JFE when we were flirting with him a while ago. He is an organiser at the back which is what we desparately need.
I am not sure whether the patience that we are showing with the KK deal is a good thing or not.

I wouldn't count on Fernandinho to do much this year tbh.

Yes, hence why we gave up 2 of those and didn't add the CL, comfortably beaten in each respectively.

Because football had moved on and left us behind, not very likely, more likely because we dropped off after 2 great years and ended up without first choice centre backs.
