C'mon mate, why be so pedantic? Do you really not get the point he is making regarding the use of our resources vs PSV? If the figures are true then PSV have managed their finances in a much better way than us, and they also haven't needed to bed in their new players. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie was a fantastic bargain acquisition, Kent not so much. But over the last season and a half neither contributed much so I’m glad they’re gone. Other forwards have been brought in. Are they as good? I wonder if Danilo might be. I’m seeing nothing in the others. Early days, I know. Often new players take time to get used to the way a team works but you can usually see some signs of capability. Not with these chaps unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ... quite damning, no? No, their players are better than ours. It's really thst simple. We attempted to sign Veerman and couldn't get him 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schouten was there a week and bossed the game out of position at CB last night. We are still waiting for guys who have been here months to click.

Veerman proves that. Veerman is Dutch, which maybe explains that one. However, our wages aren't that different from PSV's and we have recently competed well in Europe, so I think your point is largely irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
