Sorry if its already been said, I haven't read every post in here.
But the problem we've had and have had for years which i bang on about all the time is we purchase several players for high wedge who aren't proven premiership players.
Think of all the flops we've had in the last decade. The vast majority of them were bought mainly as prospects and theres been one or two top players bought from other leagues such as morientes but hes still not proven in the premiership.
Ofcourse there are other times when we have bought players from other leagues who have been a success, alonso, torres etc, but I still strongly believe the way to go about improving our squad is signing players who have proved they can play in the prem at a top standard. We have to go out and buy premiership players, even if that means spending more money.
The average players in our squad need to go. Theres a handfull who could play a role in the squad such as kuyt, cole, lucas and maybe 1 or 2 others but the absolute sh*te such as jovanovic, sotis, maxi, ngog, spearing etc they have to go now.
Going back to the first opening post where it states 'ngog wouldnt get into the top 5s squads' exactly! spot on. I use this point for other players too and its not because those top 5 clubs have world class players in that position, its simply because ngog and some others are that sh*te that those clubs would never look at him in a million years.
