We need to get a scouting network that looks at more than the plainly f**king obvious.

We need a Sporting Director that will go for players without Premier League experience.

I am sick to death of the same names every f**king time, and apparently we are interested in Guehi? as if he is going to sign for us when he is pretty sure he just has to wait out a season at Palace and then replace Konate and make bags -full more because a) Liverpools wages structure and b) he?ll be moving on a free.

The club, and I include Eddie, have a fascination with Prem experience above most else.

Not all Eddie?s fault, but this window he had to be the one calling the shots given the lack of anyone else, and if we go after players that teams can afford to give somewhere between nearly double and more than double we will, and are likely to go in for them, we are always going to miss out until our wage structure can compete.

I know there is time left, and I know we will bring in players, but I am thoroughly disillusioned in the transfer window.

Last summer was bad enough making complete morons of ourselves with banging at Palace?s door time and time again, this summer so far has taken it to another level and if we try to sign Guehi and fail AGAIN then we deserve to be mocked.

Mitchell said the transfer strategy wasn?t fit for purpose, I?m inclined to agree seeing it this summer? it?s hard to defend the clubs performance and approach this summer.

Season starts in 10 days and I am hoping for the best, but given the amateur performance in the transfer market so far I?m resigned to the worst.
