Welcome to the FSG are tight bas**rds and won’t spend any money thread;….A annual event we all debate at this time of the season, but turns out never as bad as ppl want it to so as they can say we told you so !!
We’ve been in transition now from the start of Jürgen’s farewell tour and up to and including this inaugural season under Arne, Jürgen had started the new revolution by adding Gravenberch, Szloboslai & Macca, we done fairly well up until the point where we ran out of legs last season with a hint of over achieving and of course with Jürgen dropping his bombshell perhaps adding a sense of trying to hard, to do it for him elements to consider ?
In the close season of Jürgen’s farewell tour we were linked with Caicedo & Lavia with reports of up to £100m at our disposal to spend, I’d doubt very much we had that level of spending, however, we should have a fairly sizeable pot to utilise from the fact we haven’t needed to add players since then ?
For me this summer was looking to be the one where we needed to spend regardless, whether Trent was bound for Spain or not, to continue the revolution so to speak, even if Jürgen had remained himself, this was the summer to bring in new talents, so the only things that have changed is knowing now that Trent is likely to be going and we have the new manager wanting his own players in, also the Richard Hughes influence working with Arne, to bring in said players,
I have no doubt whatever that whatever targets Arne has mentioned will get looked at and that RH will find or bring in those good enough, we’ve seen the work he done at B’Mouth so no reason to doubt he won’t do the same here, I also see us keeping hold of both Virgil & Mo, there isn’t a chance both will be let free this summer, and I’m sure negotiations are ongoing to end all that speculation,
We’re on the periphery of our 20th league title, we’re at the beginning of a new era under Arne, and so far it hasn’t been too shabby has it, so instead of all this doom mongering and all the negativity brought about by our resident glory hunting fraternity we should all be looking forward to who our new players will be and the continuation of this particular successful era,
We are rebuilding and we are already bringing in success, what’s not to like ffs ??
