Dele, innitNot sure who will score the goals Bale scored
Yes, 11 out of 10 if that had happenedI wonder if some of you would have voted higher if we sold Kane and brought Ings!
I have no problem with Nuno. so far so good, however he was not a well executed planned hire. We had been turned down by many preferred choices, Dave Bassett was next if Nuno said no.Absolute 10/10 for hiring Paratici and Nuno.
Credit to Paratici for bringing in Serie A best cb and La Liga best rb, after Levy told him to sort of our shit defence.
Credit to Nuno for turning our shit defence into the best in the Premier League, without actually using any of Paratici's talented recruits.
totally and maybe there will be new energy and a different mentality in the club. This counts for a lot as we've seen time and againIt’s hard to truly judge and until we see how everyone fits in. I thought last season we had a great window but in hindsight it was not the best. It’s clear we haven’t addressed all our problems, but I’d like to think we have improved at RB and CB. With Skipp also returning we have improved the midfield so our starting 11 is stronger this season. I am happy some deadwood has gone, but we still some more to shift out. I am happy that our signings are younger, especially with a more pressing style. I’ve given the window a 6 but we won’t know how good it is for a while.
Indeed. Hence credit shall not be given to hirer.I have no problem with Nuno. so far so good, however he was not a well executed planned hire. We had been turned down by many preferred choices, Dave Bassett was next if Nuno said no.
I don't think you need to sell too many players at once. That just uproots the team too much and the rebuild is unlikely to be easy or fast. When we bought 9 players after Bale left, the newly assembled team didn't exactly click for a year or two... The outgoings have been fine. We could even have kept Toby, or Sissoko... I do think that if we had pushed for another loan for Bale this year, that could have solved all our problems. Play him as a goal scorer when we need him, not as a winger... then it doesn't matter if he tracks back so much. He'd provide those goals the team needs... I would have liked to see another year for him at Spurs.7
Some good additions. I did want a solid striker to replace Vinny, and to see some more deadwood out of the club. but overall ok.
If Emerson\Bryan\Romero turn out good I might upgrade it to 8
