I think we can all agree that we needed recruitments in summer but the amount of duds we’ve wasted money on since our return to the top flight is worrying! Having such high turnover in players can’t be good for the squad as a whole.
Going forward I’d rather us just sign 3/ 4 quality players that really improve us than adding people for the sake of it.
We definitely need a quality striker, winger and full back. So hopefully we can get 2 of those ticked off in Jan even if it’s loan until the end of the season!

It's the risk when we buy players with potential and a hope for a decent sell on price, it's worked with Murillo and Anderson, others not yet or ever?, I can't see us being active in January transfer market, maybe a loan but we hopefully will have Aina, Wood, and who would have thought we would miss him Sangare back.

Good post SY.! I’ve been saying that for years now. I guess we had to get a bigger batch of players for our Europa extra matches but we should be looking to improve in quality, not quantity. It caused problems for SC and Nuno, especially with loads of players arriving before pre season so they have at least a chance of being assimilated and having an idea of what the coach wants.
It’s a balance between continuity ( and squad cohesion) and fresh legs. Perhaps that’s why we ran out of steam towards the end of last season?

Correction … after pre season ….

Exactly what I said happened at end of last season. And now everyone can see why nuno got pissed off with edu and his late shite signings.

We could have 3/ 4 top player's bought in but keeping them fit enough to play in all the Comps is impossible ?.
