Absolutely a great achievement but no post-Buendia succession plan is a failure

Also that 30 million has been largely wasted by now

At least smith said he recognises the need for creative players … (NCFC) - loz, May 13, 10:22:09
- He is mainly looking for players who can attack and defend. (NCFC) - usacanary, May 13, 13:49:45
- Pity Webber and Farke didn't recognise it after selling our most creative player (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, May 13, 11:16:15
  - Can we keep in mind emi was picked up for 1.5m an sold for 30m+ (NCFC) - KetteringRyu, May 13, 12:08:21
    - Absolutely a great achievement but no post-Buendia succession plan is a failure (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, May 13, 12:12:25
      - Not if it kept the club afloat (NCFC) - MonkeyPuzzle, May 13, 19:36:00
    - Absolutely. Definitely one in the plus column. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, May 13, 12:11:12
  - No matter what you think of Webber or the owners (NCFC) - norwaay, May 13, 11:19:51
    - But the idea that when we lost Emi we never looked to replace him with a similar type (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, May 13, 11:27:35
      - Yes, but that's a different point. (NCFC) - norwaay, May 13, 11:48:27
        
        Agreed, and it seems clear once Emi was sold Webber believed the system needed changes (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, May 13, 12:00:24
        
        well we assume happy (NCFC) - CWC, May 13, 12:17:16
        
        Yeah, I get that - but I don't think it's about the system tbh (NCFC) - norwaay, May 13, 12:10:35
        
        literally, that is not correct (NCFC) - Henclrikus, May 13, 12:15:49
        
        Was Gunn not a success? (NCFC) - Henclrikus, May 13, 18:43:44
        
        None of them succeeded by any meaningful measure (NCFC) - jamesward, May 13, 13:18:18
        
        I don't understand what you're saying. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, May 13, 13:14:18
      - I think we got lucky with Buendia, for 9nce we got in first on a player dith genuine class (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, May 13, 11:38:22
        
        IIRC a lot of analysis and effort was put in to find him (NCFC) - Azteca, May 13, 11:52:41
        
        Presumably a similar amount of analysis went into the signing of Tzolis (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 13, 16:29:57
        
        You've taken that out of context. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, May 13, 11:58:21
        
        How has it been taken out of context? (n/m) (NCFC) - Steven_P_Morrissey, May 13, 12:43:00
        
        I think Proth was trying to say that even the best researched actions (NCFC) - camcan, May 13, 12:46:09
        
        Exactly, there are a dozen clubs of our size all looking at roughly (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, May 13, 13:03:47
      - They were all set on the idea of a counter attacking 4-3-3… (NCFC) - loz, May 13, 11:37:20
        
        It's that kind of decision making that is worrying (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, May 13, 11:43:53
        
        isn't this rather simplistic? (NCFC) - Henclrikus, May 13, 11:56:57
        
        that's what we did, didn't we? (NCFC) - CWC, May 13, 13:10:46
        
        We didn't recruit with our successful system in mind it was with a brand new one (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, May 13, 12:04:26
        
        Maybe the Buendia deal was regarded as such an outlier (NCFC) - Henclrikus, May 13, 12:10:54
        
        I don't agree that system had been proven to not work at Prem level (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, May 13, 12:15:55
- Isn't that generally where creative players play? (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, May 13, 10:24:01
  - Fair one ☝️ meant the defensive midfield type as well (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, May 13, 10:30:26
