we wasted at least 10million(Konchesky,Poulson) to send two younger and arguably more talented players out on loan(Aquliani,Insua)with the club claiming we had no money I find the decision to be at best bizarre at worst criminal. Insua is ok as is Konchesky but Insua at 21 will improve.

LOL... So you think 25mill on Transfer fees alone (never mind the money the signing on fees etc for Cole) is No money!!

Weird... I would hardly describe 25million in 1 transfer window as NO MONEY. And the only signing that has even made the slightest positive impact is being played out of position...

21.07.2010 Joe Cole – Chelsea Transfer Free
21.07.2010 Danny Wilson – Rangers £2m
12.08.2010 Christian Poulsen – Juventus £4.5m
18.08.2010 Brad Jones – Middlesbrough £2.3m
28.08.2010 Raul Meireles – Porto £11.5m
31.08.2010 Paul Konchesky – Fulham £4m & 2 youth players

So everyone agrees with me about Insua now? How interesting.

Insua was an average LB and was very poor at defending however, I think he was very good as an attacking LB especially when he was working with Yossi or Reira on the left flank, he passed and got crosses in. He does lack speed to be a LB but i would definatley play him ahead of mr. konchesky. I really hope he comes back and I reallu hope Aurelio starts 2moro if fit.

compered to the previous managers he has had no money , makes me laugh hodgson has had little or no money and has beem accused of wasting funds when benitez spent multi millions and the fans said he had no money to spend and he wasted well more than 25 million

what makes me laugh is idiots comparing hodgson with rafa and trying to compare the amounts wasted - have we fallen so low our only worry is about who is the one who wasted the most? only an imbecile thinks that the money rafa wasted has any relevance to the fact that roy wasted money this summer

the reason the squad is thin and crap is because of the million wasted by benitez not the couple of player bought by hodgson

I think Joe Cole is an OK signing (came for free). Also Meireles is fine.

But if Mr Hodgson had focused on getting ONE top player in instead of the other 4 (they costed after all 12,8 M + 2 youth players), then we'd been far better off.

Why ship Insua out and replace him Konchesky and lose two bright prospects in the process and also why ship Aquilani out to Juventus with no apprent fee being received for it.

Hodgson main failing is the fact that he hasnt connected with the fans. He isnt one of us.

Like or loathe Benitez but he connected with the fans with what he did on and off the pitch.

inrua and aquilani shipped out because they were simply 5hit , lets look at the player hodgson brought in cole ok not been great but a good premier league player , meireles a good signing konchesky a average premier league left back poulson a squad player and you talk about signings when the money wasted was vast by benitez IE Dossena a record transfer to name many , as for not connecting with the fans he hasnt had a chance to because of benitez and the myth of the hollywood football played
