The next ten day are going to be make or break as far as FSG go. John W Henry has already got his next letter penned, saying we tried to sign 3 players for a total of 90million, and that we had to let Suarez go on the last day for 50million to RM, but rest assured we will look at the situation again in January.

Could him saying it wasn't for footballing reasons not be a dig
at Willian? i.e he chose a higher wage elsewhere. Maybe he's saying he's frustrated with money grabbing players not FSG.

Shall we revisit history.
The following transfer window with another player lost out to Chelski because FSG will not open the huge wallets they have.
Anyone want to remind me how much they spent on that paper in the USA or players for Red Sox?
Yet they can't afford a meagre 11million for Salah.
Disgraceful.

Well the only reason Swansea are in the Prem is down to BR.
he got them in it, and kept them up in the first season (where most promoted teams go straight back down).
He then gave Laudrup something to build on. Every year you have 3 clubs moving up, does it mean that there are 3 top managers every year? BR has won nothing in the game yet, playing attractive offensive football means nothing, trophies and top 4 finish do.

We can argue over Brendan's merits all day long, but to me one thing is obvious and that is the brand of football his teams play. I haven't seen us play such attractive football -apart from some games- for a very long time.

At the same time we've played terribly in some games, how do we account for that?

you do realise that the Red Sox are pretty much self financed as well?

Our transfer strategy is a complete load of tosh and whilst I have tried to give the manager a lot of rope he has as much responsibility for this as FSG or Ayre.
If someone listed the buys we have made and the amounts paid it highlights a muddled and confused strategy that is not improving the starting 11 very much. How and why are we buying numerous 'for the future' punts at 7 million or so when we are crying out for 3 or 4 replacements in our starting 11 and in danger of blowing-up our best season in years.
In regard the latest transfer blunder (if it is indeed one)how can it be anyone's fault but Ayre's? He is the deal maker not BR or the committee. They have given him the names and he has dropped the ball.

Not much Vish if that is the case. However, the fact is Chelsea have only moved for this guy after Manchester United's proposed purchase of Mata. It appears we were the only club in for him earlier and the failure (which appears a common theme) to tie this deal up quickly has let them in the door.
We are all speculating with these transfers granted, however it does appear a constant reoccurring problem that our failure to get things done quickly is allowing other more financially powerful clubs in and that has to be looked at surely?
