The team that trounced us on Sunday spent £150m on just full backs. £100m on 2 centre half.United spunked £86m on a player and he doesn't play'The Mighty Reds YNWA' paid £150m on a keeper and a centre half.The game financially has gone mental
Only Real Madrid had a greater net spend than us this summer, anywhere on the planet. I won't dismiss the owners as penny-pinchers just yet.
I feel Suso is the only person who's under real scrutiny in all honesty

They need to have a good look at the structure they've put in place at the end of this season, whatever division we're playing in. It just hasn't worked, and if it doesn't change next season, almost certainly won't work again.

The plan certainly wasn't to be marginally less crap than three other teams, and I'm sure it certainly wasn't to be playing games in January with no striker.
