How long has Tony Evans worked for FSG?
Look the champions league is where need to be of course, there is no doubt about it, but all this rubbish about second tier players is bollocks, it's about signing the right players and making them work out for you. Signing "world class" players guarentee you nothing, there are plenty of players out there that will improve us and I'm not in the group that think we need lots of players to improve us, I actually think we need 2 or 3 players.. That's not alot and i don't feel they need to be worldys to take us there.
Im not going to sit here naming players because that's pointless but if we pick up a couple of good players that will come here because of who we are and what pull we still have and where we are going and then add to that possibly 2 or 3 from the Ressies/youths, the likes of Raheem, Suso or even Texieria.. To the squad and they kick on that's adding half a dozen new options, there is no point bringing these kids on and just buying "established" players or just forget the Academy.
The top 4 has extended from Rafa's time, we could be average over the season 5 years ago and get in there, but now City and Spurs have come along leaps and bounds since then and it's got tougher . The league if anything is more competitive as well, with others spending and improving below us.
We do need to get back into it ASAP but if we don't then yes disappointing, but a disaster? I'm not having that, look again in the summer, improve again and give it another go, but if we finish 6th this season then that doesn't mean we should only aim for 4th next season, aim higher, missing out on it again this year doesn't mean we can't aim higher.
I for one don't hate the Europa league if that's where we end up, we have a deep squad and we can bring on our talented kids through the early stages of that which will help them develop early on in the competition.
Anything less than first isn't good enough for this club but we have no divine right to finish anywhere we have to earn the right. It won't be a disaster it will just be a disappointment. And we go again next season.
This all day long ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Kenny is building, the proof is there for all to see, first trophy in 6 years, playing eye catching football, right now i dont give a f**k about the CL, because i can see the bigger picture,
next season we will be even better, it's clear that some on here are of the glory hunting variety, wanting instant success, we have silverware already won only two weeks ago we were all doing somersaults of joy, we were f***in robbed Saturday losing a match we controlled with the exception of ten second have minutes, and all of a sudden the neg-monsters start to appear, coming out of the woodwork,
you lot out there, go and have a wee w*nk everytime we lose points, at least that might put a wee smile on your face and stop you coming on this forum and dragging the rest of us down to your crappy defeatist attitude,
so f***in what we dont get 4th and the so called promise land, WE are in transition FF's, one step at a time, oh and, by the way,we ARE in Europe next season, or is the Europa league not good enough for ya, just like the league cup we have just won for a record 8th time, that was deemed not good enough either,
f***in pisses me right off the attitude of some of our supporters,
rant over,
