Yeah, the one that paid 50m for Njie, Nkoudou and Sissoko and fucked off Pritchard, Oduwa and didn't play Onomah, KWP or Edwards when he could have, That's the one.
Half of SC hasnt come to that conclusion yetFrom VillaTalk in tonight's match thread:
We agree mate
4 promotions with 4 different clubs. It seems unlikely. The John Terry bollocks exposed for what it is. What has he exactly added?Villa are truly awful. Bruce surely can't be long for the sack.
He would have been perfect for Reading too.He was stuck up top and left to chase down the constant long balls down the channel. Is this really the plan we had for Josh?
So far for them, he's been #10, up top, holding mid and left wing. Just needs to work his way round the back line and he'll have the Phil Neville utility role nailed down
Should have sent him to Fulham or Derby (if he had to go), who seem to want to play a little bit of football.
Yeah. I guess it's too bad that Oduwa and Pritchard are tearing it up at top leagues now, eh?Yeah, the one that paid 50m for Njie, Nkoudou and Sissoko and fucked off Pritchard, Oduwa and didn't play Onomah, KWP or Edwards when he could have, That's the one.
The hope is Steve Bruce will get sacked and they'll get someone in who promotes possession footy.
patience is required. Am sure the thought was big club/ expectation/ some big personalities....if not he will be back in Jan or at Brighton

Oh... wait...
Meanwhile his handling of KWP and Edwards has been perfect. KWP has got his chance and if, as it looks like, we don't buy another RB before the end of the window he'll play out the season as the rotation option at a club challenging for the title; a position that's as much, and arguably more, than what can be expected for a 20 year old. Edwards is even younger and has recently signed a contract extension when it was looking like a close thing whether he would or not. I'd say Pochettino's handling of the youth here has been excellent.
But at least those guys, bar Sissoko which is truly bafflling, were young and had exposed form and performed reasonably well in a top league. For the price paid for N'jie and GKN they were nothing more than calculated gambles which haven't worked out (although, in GKN's case there is still time). On the other hand, Oduwa and Pritchard had been at the club a number of years and shown that they weren't good enough.The point is, they could have been "not tearing up at top leagues" for nothing, instead of the 50m we've paid for Njie, Nkoudou and Sissoko to "not tear up top leagues".
I strongly disagree with the idea that Poch's handling of Pritchard, KWP, Onomah or Edwards has been perfect. And I'll add Veljkovic (who is doing well in a top league) to that list as well.
I don't blame Poch entirely, it's a very complex issue.
pritchard is good enough, he just has a lot of issues with his ankle. maybe the club were aware of this and that's why they let him go.
