You get what you pay for

-> I don't see Slutsky lasting long,
-> Except for a few mullerings in the premier league of course

I don't see him going anywhere this season. And To be fair, in our 5 seasons in the PL, we had very few mullerings. Probably the Spurs one was the worse; we were absolutely pulled apart and it could have even been far more. Silva and his team had fallen apart by then.
I have little time for Bruce (as a manager), but Friday's shambles (the line up, the failure to make the needed changes when it was clearly going pear shaped, the result) would not have happened under Bruce or Phelan.
Slutsky, for all his experience in Russia, appears to have hell of a lot to learn, and quickly. Basics like defending, building and putting out a team with a strong spine plan b's, etc. Love his personality. Still think he'll come good once he has chance to work with his final squad, and given a reasonable run of better fortune with his injuries, but jury well and truly out for now.

 

Thought this needed a bump

 

You get what you pay for, or don't as the case may be.............

 

The sad thing is that slutsky will be made a scapegoat for this shambles. After selling the team from underneath his nose.

 

All part of the owners plan I'm affraid.

 

I agree that the owners could have spent more in the window but our manager should be getting more out of the players he has. We look shocking at the back. Individual errors are one thing but we dont look organized. A good manager can setup an average team and make them play well.

Silva for example, came in and changed half of our first 11, no bedding in period was needed we instantly looked and played better.

Slutsky needs to be doing more for me.

 

We had half a defence for Silvas reign. We haven't got one now.

 

Dicko and Kingsley.....well, based purely on tonight, we've over paid for both.

 

I am genuinely baffled as to why we bolstered our squad with Toral and Irvine when we already had Henriksen. They all seem to be in the same mould as attacking midfielders, behind the striker. Yet we sign completely the wrong sort of striker to play these types of attacking midfielder - pretty bemusing.

 

And a ****ing midget in Dicko. If he was a six fooot three striker. He could actually hold it up and ring players into the game. As it is...

 

Can't imagine Slutsky had any say in recruitment, think it was a case of getting what he was given. He should still be getting more out of the players he has though, he can't blame anybody else for the poor team selections he's put out.

 

Question...who can honestly say that they had any of our summer signings on their wish List? I think it was more a case of being happy with any signing in the end...or am i being blinded by my hatred of the allams. Would really like to know your views.

 

I'm glad we signed Irvine, Adam Virgo wrote a good piece on the signing in his FL paper column. I just wish we'd play him more.

 

I notice Musa can't even get into Leicester's Carabao XI.

 

Yesterday I watched Kim Jong ehab's interview (in May?) after we were relegated.

I'm paraphrasing but he expected to lose 4 players and wanted most of his business done before July 1st

Would love to hear his comments on how that went

This thread should be titled you get what you don't pay for!

 

I distinctly remember him saying about the probability of losing four players who all had release clauses, he clearly couldn't resist the money from all of those that didn't. The absolute **** him.

No matter what people think of him, looking at you Bob,, the writing was on the wall in great big ****ing letters when Bruce walked away from the opportunity of being one of only twenty Premier League managers prior to the beginning of last season.

Whilst the boy blunder is here we all need to face, head on, the fact that we're pretty much ****ed.

 

We should have signed Emile Sinclair
5 goals in 3 games and he is a beast

 

Certainly wouldn't have cost a fortune either. Looking at you Ehab, you blithering ****ing idiot!
