We spent £40m on wing backs in the summer, a kid from the Championship and another kid we can’t do anything with for 12 months.I'm totally lost why still comparing to what Chelsea do and like I said before it's not just money. It's clear that the plan under ENIC was to build the infrastructure and then when we can generate more money we can spend more. We've spent a reasonable fee on 2 wing backs in the summer. The only issue is spending on young players for the future and not experienced ones. We did get Perisic for the here and now though. It just seems that Levy has his idea of who to spend on and it doesn't fully align with Conte. Although the comments from Trix about Levy going back on the original agreement is a concern. We spent well last year but we need to do it again this year. If we don't then it's absolutely fair to complain. It just seems a bit premature given the Jan window has only just opened.
Basically what we did was hire Conte but buy him Poch players. Conte is not a developer of talent, he wants the ready made thing. I’ve no doubt that Poch would turn both into good players. So what was our strategy? None, why are we buying Conte Poch players?
our owners are utterly clueless
