[Albion] How HAPPY are you with this transfer window?

[GT49er]

You can’t live scared believe your target will improve the squad and score some of those goals we missed last season. Bottle jobbing it every window will eventually end up with us flirting very close to relegation. Finish six places higher and you make a good few million to cover his wages.

Mmm ..... yes ........ and the price of fish is ...?

Or could have been a flop, wasting the game time of others and costing important points.

Eh? Our current crop of forwards cost us many points with their terrible finishing last season, why are they being so easily excused?

They are what they are but that doesnt mean that Mr Someone Else would automatically be better.

why bother signing anyone then?

Bottle jobbing would be abandoning our strategy and splashing a huge chunk of the Ben White money on transfer and wages for a shiny striker.

What the club is trying to achieve is the exact opposite of a bottle job.

Because if you find the right player, the odds that he will improve the team might be good enough to go for it.

But you don’t know if you’ve found the right player until they’re on the pitch.

Nope, unless you sign some absurd world class player you wont know. But you (or rather the recruitment team) will do some research in order to increase the likelihood of success.

I'm more Thogdad than Thogden.

He reckons we had the 5th best transfer window in the Premier League.

If the recruitment team can’t provide credible options of players that we can actually sign that are better than Locardia and Connolly then they have failed.

The loaning of Zeqiri and the lad from Prague may pay off next season however if we don’t score enough this season and end up in the championship it will have been a failure.

Just seems a risk we shouldn’t be taking.
