I think I read somewhere that no player is signed without his final say?
But he does decide the type of player he needs.
So maybe he thinks he doesn’t need a DM.
If it was a priority I am pretty sure we would have one.
Not necessarily if they can’t get the ones they’re chasing. I’d rather they wait to get the right one then buy one who is substandard
Its over 2 years now without a proper DM.

Agreed, but I stand by my point, better get the right player then a “buy and hope” player who doesn’t really fit the bill.

I've said before that - based on what we've bought - DS seems happy to play 3 MF who can each do a bit of everything: tackle, dribble, shoot, intercept, etc. This obviates the need for a specialist DMF. Even Marv looks a little more all-round than when he joined us.
Having said that, if a 'special' specialist were to become available ....
Which on paper is fine - it's just accommodating Bailey, Watkins, Ings, Beundia and Traore in the three up front.
So Smith didn't recommend the signing of Konsa and Watkins then, two players who played for him at Brentford. Hmmm, OK then.
If I recommend some ex-colleagues to my new employer, that doesn't make me the director of HR.
It's hardly the same thing really.
I'm all ears...
Nah you've got more than just that about you.

Well we bought Nakamba but he is very limited. Still think Luiz can be that genuine 6 for us. He needs to play in a 3 though.
Smith out. The stubborn fecker.
Starting the game tonight with that formation…
Time to go.
For me it's not the team he started with, it's failing to tweak anything once you could see we were struggling first 10 minutes.
Seems we were just waiting to concede a goal.
Honest to fucking God he isn't learning. The 3 in midfield worked because you had Ramsey pressing like a mother fucker from the first minute. Going to 2 plus Buendia just over runs you. Why the fuck are we still trying to make Ings and Watkins work. We are losing the midfield. Our back 3 are all better in a flat 4. We have no width. And the strikers look like they are strangers. Fucking shambolic.
Haven't a clue about formations but it's needs changing or else
I am getting on and I am sick of us missing opportunities. We have good owners but the manager is on thin ice- we seem to have gone two steps backwards.
