I cant believe what i have just read. We are a top 2 team. Forget what he thinks. 2 or 3 additions and we are top fucken 2. Best keeper, midfielder and striker in the world. We dont need seasons to get back into the top 4. We should do it this season. This guys negative and defensive comments are getting worse by the day. FFS. If he doesnt go by at least the end of this season we are in for tough times ahead. PLEASE LEAVE NOW
The premise of that is something like:
I don't need new players because I think the players I have might be o.k,but they might not so I might want some players,but if the owners tell me I can't have any money then I'll agree that we should work with the players we have as that's what I was brought in to do,but if they say I can have money I'll snap their hand off because I think we need more players because the ones we have are not good enough.
However if I get rid of players (like I already have) then the ones I buy might not be any good, even though I will have a team of scouts looking at them for the past 6 months and the DoF will have also run the rule over them. I mean it's fine saying buy Messi because he's a big name, but when he's here he might not be able to play at the back and that will seem like he isn't a good player, which if he doesn't do what I want him to do he obviously won't be.......so it's a gamble.
Saying that I could do with some more players who will be guaranteed to be as good as I think they are and who will be able to tell me where they play in the team before I buy them. It's important that we have money to spend to get us back to where we were, just like the Liverpool of old, when legends like Traore, Biscan, Le Tallec and Diomede were here. We need to be in Champins League finals and challenging for the league like we were many, many , many years ago as we haven't done that since I was a player myself and based my whole coaching philosophy on Bob Paisleys Liverpool teams. I have a photo of Bob in a box somewhere.....so that shows I am a real student of the pass and move philosophy.
We just need the right players to play that way. I need new players........or maybe I don't. I could do with some though.......well maybe not. It depends on if the owners tell me I do.
I might ring 'Arry and see what he says.
