The improvement this season is entirely due to Hughes having bought proven premiership players from other clubs.
How is that building from the ground up or whatever? It's just buying quality off the shelf because you can afford it.
Sorry if it sounds negative to some people, but it is exactly what Mark Hughes has done.
That in its self is solid, bringing in perhaps percieved better, more expensive players from abroad would not achieve this. Secondly, MH has purchased, basically an British back 4, europe and plattini sorted. The best young talent in the 'available' premirship - cos he can affored to do so.
They haven't gellied as quickly as expected - BIG surprise there - but MH fault -
behave
well the defence has certainly 'gellied'. it's as wobbly as fuck!
