Quote from: aj2k77 on December 06, 2015, 11:05:48 AMWe do make excuses for a lot of the signings and performances.Bennett has potential.... no he doesn't he's 25/26 and been shit from day 1 and can't get in to the Bournemouth team.Baker and Clark are kids learning their trade.... they have over 200 league games between them, theyre approaching mid 20's and still make the same errors they did when they started. They're rubbish.Kozak, the longer he's out the better he gets. He's barely scored any goals in a top flight in his career, one Europa campaign and we buy him for £5m+, he's looked a carthorse, terrible signing.Westwood, for years the ticking dynamo of the team, well that's exactly why our midfield have been soft as shit, slow and weak because we have players like him in it. 5 yard passes do fuck all, he hasn't kept us ticking over, he's helped hinder us. We've made excuses for him for years.The list goes on, we've had some truly terrible players who have had the honour of playing for us the last few years and to be fair to them they haven't even given they're all on the field, they've folded, they've not competed and at times they've given up. It hasn't been acceptable but we've made numerous excuses for nearly all of them. Hopefully next summer we complete the clear out and chop the rest of the dross, the problem being that we will probably replace them with equal shite because our recruitment team are fucking crap.Agree with nearly all that apart from the bit where you've blamed the recruitment team. The quality of players we sign is 100% down to the transfer/wage budget, and that is totally dictated by the chairman. No point in constantly blaming the symptoms but ignoring the root cause.

A cultured player would have bought that down, thus wrong footing the defence and hit it in with his right foot. A cultured player he isn't however.And never will be. He has been a stain on this club since the day he signed.
