Maybe it is my interpretation, however Bomber went to the media claiming that Manu had to make his mind up etc, a few weeks later regarding Whiting & Turner he said he was in no rush because as a club we understand that it is a big decision etc, now for me that is a contradiction of how we operate as a club.
It is not so much my interpretation of a quality player but more the statements made by the club that we will be getting quality players to challenge, I could get the links up but presently I do not have time.
That’s not a contradiction, either. It’s arguably an inconsistency, but given that all players and all situations are not the same, I don’t see why they should be treated as such. Just like all contracts should not be of the same length and value, they are affected by the player’s importance to/affect on the team in much the same way. The Manu situation was a lot more influential on our recruitment/retention than Whiting or Turner, so if you can’t see why there was a far more pressing need to conclude it quickly I think you’re being either naive, foolish, or intentionally obtuse in order to have something further to complain about.
And of course it is at least partly about your interpretation of a quality player. Yes, the club said they would be getting quality players to challenge. In their opinion they may well think they have. If you don't that's down to differing opinions on what constitutes a quality player. Also, it's June and our recruitment is not finished. I really don't see why you're getting into such a state at this stage. Why not wait and see who else we
actually bring in before criticising the recruitment (or lack of) a load of faceless and probably largely ill-informed people have claimed we are making, along with an unhealthy dollop of reading between the lines in newspaper articles?
