Gooney's post is just pointless negativity, like all of his posts.
We bought 2 CB? My point is if you concede 51 goals and you buy a defender who is worse than the ones you have. How do you improve? LLogically we have kos out and soka in from last defense? I am saying on paper I dont think we have improved from where we were. deep down you agree with me as no one has given me a logical explanation why we will finish above 6th? So you resort to shooting the messanger
.......... regardless Pudop's point and I agree is that you're laying that blame at Emery's door when he doesn't buy the players.
The blame for that is the board, I believe they have told Gazidis to hold off spending big until Emery has proven himself, we also spent higher than usual in January.
Tbf we can't even blame Misinslat, to do what he's done on a £50m budget is actually fkin remarkable.
Guendouzi for £8m yet he plays like a £30m player
Litsch for free
Torriea for £26m yet again he plays like a £40m player
Sokratis is currently meh but we'll see how he gets on
Mhkitarayan was a swap for a player basically out of contract so we got a newly minted contract player for free
Aubamaeyang for £60m when he plays like an £80m player at least
I understand your frustration about the defense but you can't blame Misinslat, in fact looking at the above he's done wonders and you literally can't blame Emery because all he does is coach the team as Gazidis loves to remind us.
Our new guys are doing fkin well, I'd love to see another club do as well with a shoe string budget.
so you telling me he has no say in players coming in? If he says I need a wide forward or a CB, they say no? And how can dozzy play like 30 million pound player when he hasnt played 1 competitive match for us? Or Torreira who has not had even 1 friendly? I dont like the Sokratis buy at all.....this guy struggled in Dortmund lately and was their Mustafi and if Emery watched us and saw how bad we were at set pieces, why couldnt he ask for a CB who is good in the air? He bought a CB thats smaller than ours and a DM who is smaller than all of our players.
Torriea has just come out of a World cup ffs, don't act like we don't know how he plays, Guendouzi fair enough is yet to be seen but he definitely plays at a higher level than £8m and I have no reason to suspect his level will drop in league games.
For e.g people are saying he should bench Xhaka ......... how much did we pay for Xhaka? case closed.
Oh and to your first point, yes he does not decide anything when buying players, he can submit a request to Misinslat i.e "I could use a CB can we see if we can bring one in" but A) Misinslat doesn't have to fulfill that request and B) As I mentioned its a bit difficult for Misinslat to approve buying a new CB when we have fk all budget left.
If Misinslat isn't given the money how can he buy a CB and balance the books?
