Hasnt he got better things to do than engaging with loser newcastle fans? Like figuring out how he and monchi fucked up the last transfer  window?

How did he fuck up the last transfer window?

Didnt sign a right back, didnt replace diaby. Signed a left back for 30m that rarely plays - 30m would have been better spent on a position we needed.

They all sit down and decide who they want and try and get them, that includes Emery's input. They manage to get some, they don't manage to get others. It's hardly a fuck up.

In my opinion it is a fuck up as only person when you look where we are in the table, how bad we are defensively and how little  we competed with the top sides last season. We won at chelsea and spurs last season.  Yet we got beaten quite easily  this year at both. Only team we have managed  to beat is city.

Only onana has really added sonethibg to this team. I mean you could argue barkley to be fair as he has added some important goals. Philogene maatsen and the two other boys on loan haven't  helped or improved us in the slightest.

With maatsen it is a bit harsh as he hasnt been given many opportunities-but did we really need him when we had moreno he was doing pretty well last year?

Of course we are only half way in so alot can change and ill happily retract it end of season  if we manage to finish in the top 6. But cannot see it at the moment  based on how we are playing and cant keep clean sheets

Another thing to consider is that manager's don't just sign players for the following season but for the future.Yep, the window could have been better but it was hardly a fuck up.

Couldn't do the deal for the the RB we wanted because of PSR at that time. Already replaced Diaby with Rogers and brought the a 22yr old LB to eventually take over from Digne who's contract comes to an end in the summer.

That all makes strategic sense to me.

Yeah thats true i think that was probably the logic for maatsen but i dont think he will be happy at how little game time he has had. Like i said previously if we fail to get champions league then it would be  a fuck up considering  the club was saying we aanted go stay in champions  league  not just be a one season wonder [not those words exactly but in that context)

Aurely we should have been looking at more than one right back though? We have known about how much that area has been a issue for a while now.  Rogers for me isnt a replacement for diaby. He was bought to play with him. Philiogene was the replacement and he has been a flop. I dont blame philiogene as was always a big ask for him to fill in diabs boots.

Do think it was a poor window for us and i said it in the summer  our squad looks weaker  than last season and based on hiw thw first half of seasons gone i still stand by this. Various others also made this point.

Didn't get a 10-point deduction either.

We probably would have been 10 points better off though...

Should buy loads more players, get a 20 point deduction, doesn’t matter because we’ll be 20 points better off.

The scary thing is, he probably does.

Rogers for me isnt a replacement for diaby. He was bought to play with him. Philiogene was the replacement and he has been a flop. I dont blame philiogene as was always a big ask for him to fill in diabs boots.

Diaby played nearly all season as second striker, which is where Rogers mostly plays.

Philogene was bought to play/cover the wings.

So your point seems illogical to me.

Is Digne out of contract at the end of the season? We need to look at that soon if he's allowed speak to other clubs in Jan. He's definitely got another season or two as a starter left in him.

Its not exactly far off the mark is it three more victories and 2 points?

Show me where a PL team has been deducted 20 points for breaching FFP rules? Ill wait

Your example is completely ridiculous and you know it 😂

You dont get sarcasm do you?

[Demitri_C]

Scary for having a opinion 😂

God some of these posts

Just to give you some context to supoort my argument and to not scare cringy Clampy anymore as i would hate to scare him anymore.

Last season at xmas after 18 games we sat 3rd. With 39 points and GD +16. This season with one game less played we sit 9th with 28 points and -3 difference. Im pretty sure in fact almost certain if we failed FFP and had the 10 point deduction we wouldnt be far off where  we are now with a better side. Even with a point deduction it would likely be reduced on appeal like they normally are. Forest being a prime example took the deduction and look at them now.
