that's what we did, didn't we?

It's either that or we didn't actually go max budget on our original top targets, which would be criminal.

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
