Subject: Nature of the beast as mid prem team- palace/olise, b.ford/toney, b.mouth/solanke etc. it’s then where you reinvest that money. I’d just rather not think, who’s best for right now, but look at where a player can get to and how that would then help move the club even further up and financially to reinvest when they’re eventually sold. Loved our transfers last 4-5 years, just thought last summer we could have evolved rather than stick to the tried & tested, hopefully this summer we will.
In reply to: Jungle J 's message, "The last two summers we have lost our best/most influential player, and Tosin was more or less a weekly starter. You can see why the emphasis was on signing established replacements at important positions. I also think part of our transfer strategy has been buying undervalued Prem level players (i.e. players at the big clubs who aren't getting games). However, I too would like to see a more forward-looking approach, and/or an opportunity for Academy players to emerge" on Monday, February 24, 03:28:09pm

  • Agree. For two years I've been banging the Diop drum. But that doesn't negate the need for two quality players per position or that Diop does not provide what Tosin did vs the high-press. The Andersen problem is that we always play him ahead of Diop, whereas they are horses-for-courses to me. I'd also like to get younger, but can't deny the effectiveness of the current strategy. Dreaming of LaCroix is the same as all the endless dreaming of Gyorkes; neither here nor there.

  • It’s not dreaming about a player, I’ve just used that as we just played palace, could have easily used huijsen or Murillo as other examples. The point is Anderson will take us so far and won’t ever generate a profit to reinvest, we could have been more ambitious in the summer, taken more of a risk, there are an endless supply of these gems, I’d like us to pivot towards them rather than discount them for not being the age/prem experience profile we want.
