I myself would have doubts about those two. But one thing I do know, there's people at the club paid a lot of money to do the scouting and recruitment work.
Some of them paid millions.

Doku has absolutely stank out some games this season that Bobb could have been played in. It’s annoying that we play players over academy ones just because we’ve paid £50m for them.

Bobb could have played instead of Doku and done just as well a job
Even Tommy Doyle could have played instead of Nunes and we wouldn’t have seen a difference. It’s annoying.

Players who we want to sign?

We should want to sign the calibre of Valverde. Or Wirtz. Or Mbappe. Players who are at the top of their game and also who will attract sponsors and new fans alike. Like Haaland has

Of course these players aren’t necessarily easily available or would cost a lot. But that doesn’t mean we accept an inferior player

If you are car shopping for a Mercedes and they are out of stock for a year do you then wait until available because that’s the car you think is the best fit or do you nip down to the car supermarket and buy a Mondeo or something else inferior because it’s available?

Spot on. It’s where we went wrong last summer - Bellingham went to Madrid and we started to panic and look at Nunes, Eze etc. Could we have gotten through this season without Nunes - absolutely!

Phillips, Nunes cost us over £97m. P and G would easily cost us at least £130m combined and some. That's over £200m potentially wasted on players that won't improve us. Let that sink in. I'd rather gamble on academy and unknown cheap signings. Either that or go big on the likes of Valverde or Wirtz.

Aaah, we didn't want that waster Bellingham anyway. He's proven to everybody that he is a dipstick.

not so much a transfer rumour - more like Chinners Bollocks - did anyone see the valuations posted on the BBC for the rags squad which is up for sale as a job lot? total value 846m made up in part from
Trashford - 106m so seriously this is what they really think.
Hojland - 93m
Garnacho - 92m
Antony - 63m
Dalot - 61m

it goes on and on - like alice in wonderland. Someone needs to take the red pill.

We are not signing Mbappe, Witrz or Valverde - that's a given. Rico, Bobb, Doyle & McAttee are simply not and almost certainly will never be at the level we need - sorry. So who is your money on if not the boys from Brazil?

Wolves trigger the buy clause for Doyle for the 5 million fee. He can’t play against City this weekend because he’s still on loan till July 1. 50 per cent sell on fee and a buy back option.

They've had our pants down with this. Only 5million and we got Nunes. Bad bit of business on our part

I said in another thread, we’d have noticed no difference having Doyle playing instead of Nunes this season. Absolutely no difference at all.

Disagree. Doyle would have definitely chipped in with a goal or two and assisted from a corner

Not going by his stats at Wolves this season. No goals, no assists.

That’s playing for Wolves. Haaland wouldn’t have scored half as many playing for them.

You could say that about most teams though. Paqueta has 8 goals and 6 assists for West Ham this season.
Doyle's played 25 games, those stats are shit.

I'm not arsed about the stats, Doyle was and still is a better option than Nunes imo. Matters not as he's gone and we move on
