We did try to buy plenty of maarquee players but it didnt work out for whatever reason. Depending on a persons viewpoint of FSG it invariably boils down to
A) we tried to buy them but they chose other clubs
or
B) FSG wouldn't stump up the cash for them

It's hard to sign good marque signings unless we have CL. So it's a chicken and egg situation.
Bottom line is that we need to stump up the cash to qualify for CL first before the stars will join.

KoK, look that's fair enough, but that's your opinion. I have put mine forward. No offence, but its pretty plain to see. We wanted Salah, the committee was not unanimous in their views, a meeting took place on the weekend, BR gets the funds to sign his man.
In anyone's book, that's the owners backing the manager. If they wanted to 'back' the manager they'd scrap the transfer comitee and put faith in BR

I for one don't want us to sign Mohamed Salah, I think he is a similar player to Assaidi whom we have, I'd rather we go for a CM or CDM! We have a couple of players playing in Salah's position, some are out on loan.
I'd like us to push for Cabaye instead, he would make a good signing or look for a good midfielder in a small spanish, french or portugese team.
I enjoy watching tiki taka football

Actually FSG did that. Kenny chose the players he wanted and Comolli signed the cheque. Look what happened.

Didn't work out too well that...its funny, as a fan, i kinda want a bit of both, because its a balance between the two that would give us the best results.
