There’s some questionable fails in there to be honest, players came in and done a job at the time and we moved on from them, doesn’t make them failures. Foderingham and Waghorn being two examples of that in my opinion.
In the earlier years we didn’t really have many other options than to shop in the English lower leagues.
John Lundstram was key in getting to a European final and you’re calling him a failure ffs, yes his form is poor this season but that doesn’t automatically remove the good he produced last season.
I don’t know much about Dowell but Jack Butland is hardly shite, on a free transfer it’s a no brainer as he’s an immediate upgrade on what we have.
