Is the answer.

The constant chopping and changing of managers and no apparent transfer strategy has led to this. No money in the kitty. When we came up we signed 9 players all mostly shite which wasted a crap ton of money for three to four seasons. We need four quality players in January and I fear the only way to do it is sell Wilf.

If you add those summer signings to Roy's January of Sorloth, Jach and Rakip then Roy has every right to feel aggrieved. I think last January is mainly what ****ed us as we could have got a few squad players who would actually make a difference but instead ended up with 2 players not good enough and one of the strangest signings since Marange in Rakip.

Neither does 4-4-2 without any strikers but at least with 4-5-1 we’d have players playing where they should be

And no pace in the attacking third apart from Wilf. Hodgson can't create goals out of thin air. he needs a ball carrier like RLC. All he can do is hope for a 0-0 or a lucky goal, or a screamer from 25 yards, or a piece of magic from Wilf. There's not enough attacking ability in this squad. Zaha is massively papering over the cracks. We'd be rock bottom without him.

The end result would still be bollocks. Wilf is a second striker he had his best season in front of goal playing as a striker/wide forward. Most of the time he's attacking the left hand channel so I don't know why you think we are playing a traditional 442. It isn't. We don't cross the ball for that reason AND we don't have any target men. At the start of the season all we did was cross it from deep and out wide and it was hopeless.

This. Would rather have a pacy finisher instead anyway. We'd only start launching it ineffectively. Get a proper defensive shield and have 4 mobile front men. Albrighton/Bolasie and Eze with Meyer and Zaha. Sell Townsend or Sorloth to pay for them. Currently very very few goals in this squad.

"The fans are delighted with our transfer business"

Words to that effect on the FYP podcast from Steve Parish earlier this season. Just FYI for everyone on here. I mean you can't dispute it, at least 84% of you were happy with it!

Well said. After that Chelsea game you could yet again see what a poor window it was.

Parishes laughable programme notes suggest very little in the way of proper backing for Roy, yet again though. Let's hope he is having a laugh.

I think it's time to have another look at the transfer strategy of the last window, because things have changed:

Guaita is injured - not his fault, and he has looked good. A solid signing
Kouyate - had a few good games but now back to his mediocre norm
Meyer - can't get a look in - a left back is ahead of him in the midfield pecking order
Ayew - one league goal, no pace and completely toothless as a striker.

No replacement for RLC, no replacement for Sako, no replacement for Cabaye and just a squad chock full of defenders and defensive mids. We are appalling in an attacking sense and rely on own goals, worldies from Townsend or Zaha to get a penalty for us. Completely toothless, not just up front but in terms of having anyone with pace running from midfield.

SIGN SOME ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS!!!

Hard to argue with that. Must admit I much prefer us developing our own young players than the likes of Chelsea but if ours aren't good enough then we really should've looked to loan in a talented attacking player.

Batshuayi has had an impact, signed in the January window. Anyone still happy with the summer window?

I do wonder where we we would be now if we had had Bats in the Summer. I could probably guess we would be further up the league than we are now.
