Was Txiki in charge when we bought Maicon, Garcia, Roswell and Sinclair? I thought he came in the September, after the window had closed.

No he was not in charge. Started in October.

If anything at least he has been busy. That is AMAZING amount of transfers.


There are my ratings.
13 bad buys
9 decent
4 good players
and 4 kids ie irrelevant at this stage.

For me that is terrible job CONSIDERING MONEY SPENT.

My biggest problem, more so than individual purchases, is his inability to put together balanced team. We have promising wide players and ok attack yet defence is premier league average AT BEST. That shows me that he is disaster and needs to be replaced.

I agree. For the money spent that list is almost Bodgers like. I think we need to strengthen if we are to be top 4, but I hope we don't spend another penny til we get a decent recruiter in.


Agreed.

Even then, calling Otamendi decent is way too generous. He must have an incredible agent to get to where he is today.

Same for Stones. It's still early days but £50m for a player who had a lot of hype but was largely poor for Everton is a ridiculous amount of money. I hope to be proved wrong but he has been awful for us since joining.

I don't understand why we're happy to allow expensive, but poor, defenders to make mistake after mistake in the first team, but aren't willing to give one of our youngsters the same opportunity.

But he has a valid argument.

After several years in the role and having a net spend that far exceeds any of our rivals, it's a reasonable time to review Txiki's performance.

Our transfers in have been questionable, we are awful at selling players for a decent fee and our squad is unbalanced and older on average than it should be. Overall our squad is in far worse state than when he joined.

Why is Nolly listed as a bad signing. I'm a big fan of his and I think he's done well.

Oh team happy clappers.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

NQDP, why are you including players that were bought before Txiki arrived in you list?

It's thought by many that both Cheeky and to a lesser extent SansFairyAnne, were influencing transfers during the summer of 2012 despite their formal recruitment dates. Javi Garcia was one of theirs although tbf Sinclair & Rodwell had the mark of Marwood upon them. Maicon was clearly a reluctant Mancini pick. Nasty was probably his too, pity we didn't keep Savic instead.

So 1 out of 5 we can tenuously link to Txiki just because he's Spanish and that legitimises using that summer's transfers as a stick to beat Txiki with?

You have a short and rather selective, some might say defective, memory. Mancini was hobbled in that window after inconveniently winning the league and stopping the Spafia take-over. He got the black spot as soon as Soriano was announced in the January of his title winning season. A massive opening blunder by Soriano was trying and failing to sack Mancini, which led to Pep opting for Bayern. Another complete managerial and strategic failure followed culminating in the Cup Final fiasco and two years of wasted time with Count Seatwarmer. You revisionist boys are a joke. and a pretty sick one.

Why the need to start your post in such an antagonistic manner?

I simply asked a question and that leads to me being called a revisionist? Bizarre!

Just a bit of healthy polemic my friend, Txiki is guilty as charged - a dross finder and capturer who has cost this club's reputation dear in the market and on the field. We are saddled with serious long term player liabilities that he is totally responsible for - and he should have been sacked years ago. Our problems are largely down to him and him alone. Cheeky the Chump.

Healthy polemic? You just responded to a simple question by being antagonistic and making assumptions.

I'd love to go back to the welcome Bravo thread and see if anyone thought it was a dodgy pick.

The defence is pretty similar to the players we had back then.

Tevez wanted out, Kun is still here, the overwhelming majority were happy when Edwin left and Mario was and would have remained a basket case.

Your argument just doesn't stack up.
