We only spend money on a few players. Goldson being one. You can't say that's short termism.
We have a short, medium and long term plan. If we'd spend the entire budget on four players at Goldson levels and purely used the youth players to supplement them, we'd have been in a worse position than we are now.
You also can't use the last previous two managers are as a criticism of this one and the DoF either as they weren't in place then and started with very little.
Who is the left back you think we should use instead of Barisic from the youths? Who is the central midfielder the manager apparently just isn't playing who is starring in the reserves that's better than Arfield, Jack and Kamara?
Your point is silly.
5 loans, Davis, MacAuley and Defoe is short-termism. There is no other way to put it. It’s signings like that I have an issue with. The success rate is shite as it was under Warburton and again under Caixinha.
I use the mistakes of the previous Managers to highlight the same mistakes that are being made now.
Only thing that is silly is the money we have pissed away. Between the money spent under Caixinha and the 19 players Gerrard has brought in, we should not be in a position to need another 7/8 in the summer. Simple as that. It’s piss poor recruitment.
I’d be more than happy to give a young player a chance ahead of someone like Flanagan, Ejaria, McAuley or Sadiq all brought in by Gerrard. I’d also rather build using the likes of Katic than dross like Worrall who contribute nothing on the park or to our balance sheet.
The less said about tired signings like Lafferty, Davis and Defoe the better.
