I would've appreciated a quicker response, a more in depth prediction could've prepared me for such disappointment. Saying that, 6th looks a little optimistic. The likes of Everton and Bournemouth are going to provide good competition.

You're probably better off asking Bristol City or Swansea fans.

I've already said on here that our problems predate Mourinho and will outlast him. We won't start challenging for the league or the CL again until the management of the club dramatically improves. We've got no clear plan or long term strategy and have business men making football decisions. The...

Well either he didn't think an elite CB was available at that time or the club wasn't willing to buy him one. I don't think we're willing to spend as big on defenders as we are on attacking players.

Bailly and Lindelof cost £30m each, we paid that for Rio in 2002. Look at the prices for van Dijk and Laporte, those are what it costs to get premium defenders these days. Bailly and Lindelof might turn out to be good in the end. But Bailly has played about 75 senior games, Lindelof likewise...
