Perfectly summarised
Perfectly summarisedHonestly, football is just a mis-directed output for a bunch of untreated anxiety
We should be doing a Dortmund. They've established themselves amongst Europe's elite by trading players very wisely. Some huge sales with Haaland, Sancho, Bellingham and others over the years. They've still got Hummels for his experience t
In terms of transfers yes although I wish we had their average crowd of 82000 lol.
The point is to sign players who will already be at the standard you want when the player ahead of him is sold. So as opposed to going ‘oh shit we need a right back’, we have one ready made.
Isn’t that the same for most clubs?The model is super easy to understand …:
You buy and develop talented players to sell on
You add to that a couple of experienced pro’s to help with that growth and to give the team match day smarts.
You add 1 or 2 loans where the budget won’t stretch to perm signings of a similar calibre.
Yes. Not all clubs.Isn’t that the same for most clubs?
Most clubs can't follow the Brighton model because they don't have owners funding the club with 100s of millions; we certainly aren't.Yes. Not all clubs.
Hull for example have gone for the loan route and hope for a promo that way.
Leicester have gambled on established players on big wages and hoped promo would bail them out.
Wolves, and Brentford targeted one particular nationality of player to try to atttact a slighter better player from that country … Wolves ( Portugal ) and Brentford ( Denmark )
However I agree many clubs are trying to follow the Brighton model. The key is to have the funds to actually buy top talent and then the scouting network to identify it !
I think we are but from a lower investment start point ….Most clubs can't follow the Brighton model because they don't have owners funding the club with 100s of millions; we certainly aren't.
Bristol C have gone in on the academy, bearing a lot of fruit from that. Problem for us is we’re surrounded by clubs who can hoover up the talent whereas they’re pretty much on their own.Yes. Not all clubs.

I disagree. You end up always with inconsistency playing prospects rather than players at the top of their game.
I think Thomas and Kitching will be really good players but they will leave once they are for example. We'll have them while they are making mistakes regularly.
Fucks knows. He’s too good to be subbed off for 20/25 minutes each game, it’s just bizarre.How long before he gets pissed off with being subbed all the time? One of the league's best forwards being subbed to accommodate inferior players.
How the fuck are Simms, Asante and Bassett gonna get minutes to find rhythm? It's bizarre.
Because the subs are pre planned regardless of what’s going on on the pitch.How long before he gets pissed off with being subbed all the time? One of the league's best forwards being subbed to accommodate inferior players.

All players get subbed off at points, he'll get over itHow long before he gets pissed off with being subbed all the time? One of the league's best forwards being subbed to accommodate inferior players.

Had zero service.Did he play well enough to stay on? I'm not so sure today.
Fair comment.Haaland wouldn't score for us with the service Simms had.
Bta outperformed him todayHow long before he gets pissed off with being subbed all the time? One of the league's best forwards being subbed to accommodate inferior players.

Really?Bta outperformed him today
More of the ball showed for it moved off it got a stuck inReally?
They’re different types of players but Simms is way superior, IMO.More of the ball showed for it moved off it got a stuck in
Could have scored poor shot and could have put wright through too
Simms is way too passive
NonsenseBta outperformed him today
To be fair he got 0 service from our ineffective midfield againHad a slow start to the season after a slow finish to last season .
No goals in his last 8 league games , but it's a spell.... poor today just 6 touches simply not involved
Hard to be too critical of any of the starting front players when the midfield has been non existent.
True, but if your midfield keep passing to the opposition instead of our forwards, what chance have they got?This is so lazy. The creativity of the midfield is equally reliant on the runs of the forward.

It was obvious early on that Simms wasn't going to get much service, so taking him off at least keeps him fresh for Tuesday.
Its the fact he's so willfully replaced that's the issue. We're turning a 20 million quid player into a 3 million quid one through lack of midfield and constantly subbing him because of expensive forwards on the bench.
Remind me again how many he scored last season.Again this is so lazy. I know a first team player. They were baffled when Simms signed as to how bad his basic skills were. Dreadful first touch etc.
With Wright and Tats playing off him, the ball has to stick when it goes into him and it doesn’t, as a fan it’s so easy to say ‘he’s not getting the service’ but when you watch football you have to question how much the other players trust him to fix it into feet and think it’s the right thing to do.
I know 100% that the confidence from other players isn’t there.
