How would you feel....

Then he would be £17 million over budget on trasnfers and probably a lot more over budget in wages.

Westwood and Lowton are good players. The problem is the blend just isn't right at the moment, but it takes time. Delph is an £8 million player, but its taken him a couple of years to look like it.

The less money you have, the longer things take.

Do you not think if he could find an international centre forward for £7m that fits our wage policy he couldn't find a midfielder too?

I'm sure he could but maybe the midfielder he wanted was a lot more than £7m. He did enquire about the Japanese bloke and an enquiry is as far as it went which possibly suggests we were quoted silly money.

A Plan B Midfielder would have been nice. If you can't get your target A midfield Dynamo to improve probably your weakest position I would have thought that signing a 6ft 7 centre forward isn't the best back up plan.

It wasn't a back up plan, he'd been tracking him for months.

I think a lot of the people who have a pop at Kozak aren't criticising him for who he is, they're doing it for who he isn't - ie they'd have rather the money was spent elsewhere where it was really needed than on a striker, so take it out on him.

I'm not totally convinced by him yet, but it strikes me that he's scored a few goals so has done at least enough to still be in consideration.

Or you get relegated

I agree and to me he seems to be a player that would thrive on crosses coming in from wide which isint how we are normally set-up. If Albrighton can keep up the sort of level that we have seen in glimpses then he would be the perfect outlet and creator for someone like Benteke and Kozak.

At home I would like to see Benteke/Kozak upfront with Weimann just behind, Gabby left wing and Albrighton right.

[PaulWinch again]

Lowton is a good player going forward, but defensively he hasn't learnt at all and is still very poor.

Agreed but for me it would be benteke Kozak and albrighton given a run in the front 3 places, with gabby as an impact sub .

You think Benteke and Kozak can play in the same team though? I'm not sure myself.

So he had no back up to not getting the midfielder we've badly needed since last January's window when we were underwhelmed by Sylla? It was Kiyotake or nobody?

I think they are worth giving a try with albrighton providing quality service from wide - gabby and Weimann have a goal each this season , Kozak has scored more than both in far less games - I agree they can't play together without service but with the natural width of an on form albrighton they may well be a different prospect .

You can have been as underwhelmed as you like by Sylla, but the fact is that last season he did as good a job as someone who would have cost a lot more than him.

Why would a manager be lucky to still have his job when his team are eleventh?

And he's doing what now? Headless chicken springs to mind.

The question has been asked of his supporters.

Let them respond to that question.

Beneteke is playing poorly now. Was he a bad buy?
