We are living on past glories as far as recruitment is concerned.
With full control of transfers and a manager willing to have his tummy tickled, Reed and the black box have managed to feck things up on a grand scale. Our biggest success this season is Mclean so thank god our youth policy still seems to be working as he stands head and shoulders above anything we have brought in this year.
As I said on another thread, Puel needs to bring in players that suite his game rather than the club looking out for their next golden nugget.
We definitely need a striker with a bit of flair who is not soley dependant on others creating openings for him but who can take on defences and carve out opportunities for others, presumably what Redmond was brought in for but not doing it very well.
A Fonte backup/replacement might be in order.
Let Jay Rod go along with Clasie and Gardos.
Tadic coming back will be a help.
Nothing better than to witness a constant stream of players coming and going not to mention managers. I really do look forward to watching players settling in over a period of months and also having to adapt to yet another managers new philosophy.
Who needs stability or consistency when you have fans still celebrating getting back into the premiership and being content enough with that.
We really need Puel to be allowed to make a couple of purchases in Jan......not Reed!. Puel needs to get in players who suite his style of playing the game rather than Reed hunting for future money makers.
