Not sure why I'm in your cross-fire today, as I don't think I've ever had a chat with you before. Odd behaviour, but I think it's time to move on now.

This guy was pure dog droppings, but he's better than Bayo.

Actually, I'll clarify that last point... Perhaps it's the other way round.

The first wave of signings were all, apparently, 'free' transfers. No doubt a premium was paid in wages and other fees, but still.

Does the success of Abdi, Vydra and the other loans / frees cancels out the flops such as Geijo, Mujangi Bia, Beleck etc?

Does the success of Capoue (surely pound for pound one of the best value signings at approx £6m) cover for Berghuis and Behrami?

Does the success of Ighalo (undisclosed) cancel out the 'flop' of Gray?

Harsh on Behrami!

I'm sure that's right re "one bad transfer window".
Dawson was on the face of it, a solid/reliable defender. Looked a good signing for the money.
Welbeck - ex England/MU/Arsenal - only available for the likes of us due to recent injury issues. Looked an exciting signing but was he really fit...could we get him fit...a gamble which didn't come off.
Sarr - an exciting player. Deulofeu & Sarr either side of a fit again Welbeck ??? Yes please..... BUT for c£28m ???
I'm sure the humiliation in the final, bonus dispute, and early defeats were a huge part in killing morale/commitment. Then QSF....
May 2019 to Oct 2019 was a dreadful period and undid all the good work of the previous 7 years and we've shown nothing to suggest we can ever get back to those lofty heights.

NOT £28 million! I swear people do this to wind me up!

No doubt that Pussetto's biggest achievement at Watford was spawning this thread.

My take is that smaller, poorer clubs have less margin for error every season if they want to stay up.

Money means squad depth, more chances in the transfer market, and more room to meaningfully adjust team and manager each January.

The longer you stay up the more chance there's poorer teams below you.

But if richer teams come up or other owners invest more then staying up gets tougher.
