Our damaged image and reputation.

[Q165]

I largely agree with you Boingy.

We needed a quality wide player almost guaranteed to start,an Arnoutovic type,fast and physical in the TP mould.

We also needed a ball carrying midfielder who can break the first tackle and get defences back peddling,a young promising player like Will Hughes would've been perfect.

We then needed a big strong striker and a smaller one to play around him.

Defoe was an obvious choice and Crouch would've done a job,personally I'd have gone for Chris Wood or got Iwobi in from Arsenal.

I also get peed off that we never take chances on players like Redmond,Demari Gray,Jacob Murphy etc....time and again they go to other lower and mid range Prem clubs.

Dawson must be the last lower league player we took a chance on and turned into a decent player.

Our recruitment is a car crash.

The problem lies with to many old or average player that's it , will they get replaced anyone's guess.
