pazzerfox Posted 1 April 2013 Posted 1 April 2013 Than players from many other Championship sides? He has spent in the region of 10-12 million on players but we still seem to be struggling against sides with limited resources and far less financial backing than ourselves. Or is it just a case of a complete loss in confidence that is causing us to be so poor? Do we also think that another manager could have spent the money any better?
foxfanazer Posted 1 April 2013 Posted 1 April 2013 Well these are the same players that were playing teams of the park at other stages in this season so I don't think it's a complete lack of quality. Fatigue, loss of confidence, not enough leaders? I really don't know? Extraordinary collapse whatever it is
Guest Bilo Posted 1 April 2013 Posted 1 April 2013 They were more than good enough till February, you'd have backed City against anyone in the league when Wood first arrived. Something has clearly gone down that's lost Pearson the dressing room and/or destroyed the team's confidence, a new manager who can motivate and inspire could make the team add up to the sum of its parts again.
Happy Fox Posted 1 April 2013 Posted 1 April 2013 I would say they are about on par perhaps slightly more weighted towards NP in the signing of Knockaert and Morgan but that is about it imo.
LCFC FOX Posted 1 April 2013 Posted 1 April 2013 Vardy - 1million Morgan - 1million De Laet - 750k Whitbread - free? Futacs - free Wood- 1 million Marshall - 750k Drinkwater - 750k Knockaert - 1.5million around 7million. But he has made more than that by selling players. Also every single one of his signings but Vardy will be sold for a profit
Swiss_tony Posted 1 April 2013 Posted 1 April 2013 the problem is not so much the cost of the signings, he's been told to cut the wage bill becasue of the ffp rules. with less money than sven he's achieved more, BUT: the problem is that right now his signings are not playing as a team, and he can't seem to motivate them.
cc_star Posted 1 April 2013 Posted 1 April 2013 He's spent less than he's received. He's also done so with having to massively reduce the wage bill. This isn't like he's been given £7m to improve the team, he's had to wheel & deal to get it whilst massively reducing the number of players and the wages of the players. We're higher in the league at the same stage over the respective seasons. They're all young and have sell on values too So, yes the signings are considerably better.

I don't think there will be many clubs in the summer rushing to sign our youngster!!

Happy Fox Posted 1 April 2013 Posted 1 April 2013 Not a De Laet fan then? Agree with Morgan, just showed today what a big loss he is! I think De Laet is alright but Naughton who Sven bought on loan was significantly better imo.

Agreed
