    To be honest I think revisiting the Ange conservation is kind of tedious so I apologise for making the observation however true I think it might be. I'll it leave there because it will go on forever as the the view on his time is so split.

    Err Errr I haven't forgotten the switch to win the EL. That's exactly my point we did switch, as we now know due to player influence but he did not use that switch as a guide for the failing league campaign. If he intended to evolve his philosophy the remaining PL games were the perfect time to...

    I told you I had no belief that he would have adapted and gave you my reasoning, ie. him not using that modification in any other match when he both had ample opportunity to and the rationale to evolve his system giving the dead nature of the remaining PL matches it would have made perfect sense...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    This is how I feel about Bergvall. I've yet to see anything that suggests he's got the passing range and vision. He does have really top class potential but it's in ball carrying, line breaking and I expect as he matures 2nd man runs Into the box. But tempo setting passer? I don't see it.

    Oh don't get me wrong I don't think we are controlling anything, but I do think that's what he's attempting to do (and failing at). I want a quality CM. If we get that, I'd actually be more critical of our midfield play because at that point my expectations from them will be much higher.

    I'm somewhere between the two of you. We have to take the risk because it's the basis of trying to play passing football, but it's also a massive risk at the same time because we are neither particularly press resistant nor is the quality of the choice of passing high. We are basically trying a...

    I might be cynical but just having go probably going to work. You need to have a go with some quality (something we are lacking). However its totally fair that you'd prefer seeing us go for and failing rather than trying to control and still failing. For me either way we fail and I don't...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    No idea if it's a real link but at least there's speculation that we are trying to address a very obvious fault. I hate being someone to say "I told you so" but I fudging said a a passing CM was a priority in the summer window thread and so many dismissed that idea. Now look, everyone can...

    I personally would take some brick attacking play if and it is a caveat it meant we were building a solid defensive structure. We absolutely need some fudging stability in a defensive sense. Conceding 60 fudging goals every season is ridiculous and we can never progress doing this. Now of course...

    You seem to be trying to turn this into a Ange Vs Frank thing. I'll evaluate Frank in exactly the same way. He can say what he likes but his actions will speak far louder, just like was the case with Ange.

    I hear what you're saying in terms of a possible development from Ange and truthfully that's all I wanted to see from him. Some degree of him understanding the limitations of his squad and taking that into account but he never did. So for me I had no belief that Ange would have have actually...

    Richy was the replacement, we just bought Solanke because Richy very obviously wasn't the answer.

    £60m doesn't guarantee you anything other than that you have a player that cost you £60m. We need to evaluate better what we are actually buying and how they fit the squad as it is and how it might be going forward. Too often neither of these things have been done. £60m isn't even a massive...

    Everyone is forgetting we rarely shot from outside the box in either of the last 2 seasons as well. Seriously there's this collective amnesia about the football we've played previously and the qualities that these players exhibited. The likelihood is that probably our players are generally...
