One of the issues we face is a total disregard to planning. We should identifying how the team is going to play and then buy players to suit the various rolls in the team.
if we look at Assombalonga for example it seems pretty clear that he is an out and out poacher with very limited skill and no ability to link play or assist.
If you are going to pay £15 million plus for a player like that, you set up the team to play to his attributes - we never really have.
when we had Braithwaite, Fletcher, Assombalonga, Bamford and Gestede in the squad, where was the vision for how we would play and where the various forwards would fit into that system.
We base our club philosophy in a scatter gun approach to signings, there is no vision or plan. It’s simply a case of throwing money at it and hoping something pans out.
It almost make me want to give up supporting the club when I think of the sale of Bamford, it was obvious to anyone with a football brain that he was the best forward at the club. Look at the sale of Stuani are more than capable striker at this level.
Look at the rubbish we have signed. I’d love to know how much influence Orta had on our signings because Leeds seem to be doing ok with his input and by the sounds of it are investing heavily for the future.
We have a chairman who cannot be faulted for his commitment to the club, but his decision making and who he puts faith in are mediocre to say the least.
