A promotion too far? 22:25 - Aug 29 with 3609 viewsMckenna1263

Could it be that last season was a promotion too far for all concerned? I am ecstatic that we did it but it may have been a season too soon. Even some of the transfers in are not of premier league standard and given the lateness some smack of desperation. How can Liverpool get Chiesa for 10 million when SS or Ogbenie cost us about the same?

We’ve played two games.

Against Liverpool and Man City.

Get a bloody grip man.

Any idea what Chiesas wage demands are? Or how many other players Liverpool have signed this summer?
How can it be a promotion too far- our transfer record was £5m a year ago and we hadnt spent over £2m on a player in almost 15 years. We now have about 18 players all signed for double that. So the quality of the squad is clearly vastly increased.

Chiesa = wages/ability to attract a player

There's never a time too soon to get promoted, especially for a club that had been 22 years outside the top flight.

The money & parachute payments completely transform the club on and off the pitch. In your worst case scenario, even with losing a few players the overall squad/asset worth would be leagues above where we were 2 years ago.

a promotion too far is nonsense.

look at the alternative, staying in the championship, losing mckenna and our best players.

what's the worst that can happen? we go down with a far better squad? that's not a disaster

as for liverpool being able to get chiesa for 10m, a few questions to ask. how much will his wages cost? how long is his contract? would he have come to a non-champions league team? no way, would a mid-table prem team be able to get someone like him, let alone a newly-promoted one!

Was there a guarantee we would be promoted this season then.. take it when the chance comes.. we will finish just below mid table this season.

Whilst I appreciate where you're coming from in regards to chieasa. I bet clarke will be worth triple what we signed him for.

As for promotion. No.


We will be safe by end of Jan.

We could have finished 8th and bought in Josh Windass as our new striker and ,Josh Murphy and Tom Ince to play on the wings and resigned Lewis Travis on loan. Instead we got Delap, Clarke, Hutchinson and Phillips. I know who I would rather have.

Juve happy to accept as, last year of his contract, £5M a season wages, had injury problems.

On Chiesa, you would need to ask Juventus why they were willing to part terms with him for that sum. Perhaps there was acceptance that the transfer had proven unsuccessful, there was just one year remaining on his expensive contract and both parties preferred to draw the matter to an early close. He may not have been in their season plans and he surely have had a small shortlist of clubs he'd be willing to leave to, with the alternative of becoming a free agent next summer an attractive financial proposition for top players. These lads aren't cattle; we wouldn't have been able to sign him for £80m and nor would the majority of the division.

It could be. Or it could not be. The next 8 games will give us a better idea and I’m looking forward to seeing how we do, and not worrying about losses to City and Liverpool.

We certainly did and it was very funny. But it wasn’t true. They certainly returned with a vengeance.

Definitely. If we can't smash Liverpool and Manchester City in the first two games of the season, then what are we even doing here?

McKenna out.
