We shouldn't of spunked millions on 3/4 players and changing a system

We could and should of signed two players similar to emi with whatever left over for a skipp replacement.

Changing system and bringing in new blood for everyone to learn has now damaged Todd dowell who look completely lost.
Not to mention having no midfielders
