We all do.., Mass, Burgess, Broady, all ripping it up.
It’s (almost) as if they’re really good players, who actually deserved more of a chance in the prem.
With Sam and Chaplin, they never got the full credit they deserved, winners in every facet.
Imagine if we’d stuck with them, and this summer had £100 plus million to spend bringing in the country’s best young talent Hackney etc .., and global world class talent like Brighten et al
Imagine. That would have been long term vision, not short term panic. |
Now that is a much more focused post. Your third paragraph, much akin to the Luton strategy, would surely just place us 12 months behind on the current curve? Or do you believe we'd still be in the PL if we kept with the original group? I think that would be an astonishingly far-fetched assertion, given the quality gap, but each to their own.
Baxter's already covered how modest a £100m war chest is these days. You advocate spending the theoretical sum on the best young players in the country, citing Hackney; I see little difference between that suggestion and the young Championship all-stars we picked up the year before. Is it clear he's of a higher standard? No PL club came in for him. Also, we still had the funds to buy him from Boro this summer but he didn't want to come.
Lastly, tacking on "and global world class talent like Brighton et al" makes me believe you must be imagining a world in which we survived the PL with the old guard, given we all must know this isn't a realistic aspiration in the doldrums of the Championship. The time to have implemented your third paragraph strategy was last season, and to have executed it better than we managed. We must now move forward with what we have, and things should go better if we do so optimistically. |  | | |

Mass was good
But he was never critical |  | | |

Just how good he was/is is quite simple to explain.
I mean, it's not nuclear physics, is it? | | | |

I don't think we get promoted from league one without Mass. Doesn't get much more critical than that! | | | |

My heart sank when I saw you had replied to this thread.
But had to look nonetheless, like when passing a car crash. At least you kept it brief.
Are you not aware that £100mill (or £120, or even £200) is not really much by today's Premier League standards, especially when building almost from scratch. Peanuts when you look a the squad values of most established PL teams. You should stop using it as some sort of argument for failure.
Your heart may wish we'd seen the established players get more of a chance last season, I know you aren't the only one thinking this, but believe me they would have got relegated just the same. Maybe faster. |
I would never have known had you not replied to that poster (no worries though) who I've happily had on ignore for a very long time, but I assume it's the same sort of jealous anti-Ipswich drivel that it always was. What they get out of it, I have no idea, nor why they remain. |  |

In conjunction with velocity he gave us real momentum. | |
