Regarding Drysdale, that wasn't my opinion and totally irrelevant to the arguement. You've claimed to only use facts to back up your arguement when all you've done is post a half arsed article that doesn't actually prove a great deal and a baseless statement that you thought Busquets was...

Delusional.

"There's no way you can play that position in the modern game at a high level without pace." We've listed probably around 10 elite players in that position who either have no pace of particular note or who have been previously cited as having little pace. Stop banging on about Drysdale and...

"Siri, show me what moving the goalposts looks like"

Well that's pretty much wrong. Xabi Alonso Pirlo Xabi Busquets Khedira Carrick None of the above had pace of much note, some could even be labelled as relatively slow for top athletes, yet they were all considered as some of the best players in their position over the past 10-15 years. The...

Really? CDMs aren't exactly renowned for their pace. Bar GK, it's one of the fews position where you can actually get away with not having pace.

Have we spent the entire budget? Albeit it may not be much but Robins did say recently that he's got some money to spend.

I heavily suggested that Robins wasn't right in strengthening our attacking options even though I openly stated Robins needed to address our attacking options? Your logic is flawless. In other news, 2+2=5

Did I say otherwise?

No more than we knew we were going to concede. I'm not saying it wasn't an obvious issue in need of addressing but it certainly wasn't our biggest issue.

True. But you can't remove goals just to suit your arguement. Even if you took away the result against Millwall, we still fared better than 6 teams in the division. Much of our issues up front were also largely down to injuries or illness, not quality.

You'd think so. I doubt we'd be sending him there to not get games.

Granted we did struggle at times last season in front of goal but it wasn't a bigger issue. We scored more goals over the course of the season than 8 other teams in the division and the same number as two teams. However, there were only 3 teams that leaked more goals than us in the league...

Didn't Gunnarsson leave on a free?

Shame he's injured for both player and club. Judging by Robins' latest comments we really could've done with getting him off the books.

Not sure MK Dons is the best case study. Being a relatively new town Milton Keynes didn't really have a reputable team for the local population to support so once MK Dons came along was it realistically that difficult for them to build a fanbase given they had zero competition? I think the...

Did you fall asleep in the 70s and just suddenly wake up? No club operates on that logic alone.

That doesn't really matter does it? There'll inevitably be academy/development staff at Chelsea who would've worked alongside Adi and his time in charge of the development squad will likely be remembered. Whilst that obviously doesn't automatically mean we're in front of the queue for their...

Whilst I do agree I think the club probably should do more to put themselves out there I don't think they necessarily need to replicate Wasps' marketing spend as the club's strategy will be different as will be their end goal. For Wasps it was about establishing their brand but it failed...

Not surprising. Very much a Warnock quite signing.
