No manager in this world gets all their first choice on the list players, some of you are such idealists ...If he hadn't turned down numerous players perhaps we wouldn't have such a void with youth not coming through.
Don't deny that he shouldn't get some of the first choice players he wants, never disagreed with that sentiment but to suggest he shouldn't have taken any players offered ... Madison looks like a colossal fuck up as does Tielmans ... People need to stop painting Poch in a light that isn't befitting.
I have no reservations that Levy has his fingerprints over some absolute duffers when it comes to transfers but Poch created a hole for himself as well.
Well we did go out for players this summer finally. Ndombele, personally think he is a far better player than Tielemans so if that’s Poch’s choice it was correct, likewise with Lo Celso compared to Maddison. They came in late and had injuries but long term they will be the basis of our team most likely.
This summer it finally felt like Poch was backed to some degree, to little to late but if we had been doing that 1-2 seasons prior we probably wouldn’t be in this mess.
We don’t have Liverpool’s money but there is no question Klopp hasn’t been heavily backed season after season with mainly first choice players, without that any manager will struggle in a league this competitive. If we are happy with mid table then fine but if we want top 4 or more than that we have to hit our top targets and do it season after season to build a strong refreshed squad.
