As if the media hypocrisy wasn’t obvious enough, I always find it quite interesting how our “duds” are highlighted compared to theirs. The latest is Grezda. In his 13 games with us, he scored two and assisted one. Pretty poor for an outlay of £1.8m. The press like to keep highlighting this waste of money. Fair enough. Unless you look across the city at some of the duds they’ve signed that are never questioned. I was having a scout around Transfermarkt and noticed these guys who they have paid significant fees for but have horrendous returns - the press never even questions the signings of these true duds:
Vakoun Bayo (who!?). Signed for £2m last January. Played a grand total of 7 league games and 0 goals. Awful for a striker, especially at a top of the league club.
Marian Shved - signed for £1.8m at start of 2019, loaned back to his club then played a single league game this season.
Eboue Kouassi - signed for £3.15m in 2017. Started a total of zero games this season.
That’s £7m of complete duds that are never questioned by the press.
Hopefully this continued waste of money continues and it will see our squad continue to overtake theirs in quality whilst they bloat even further with players who don’t make the starting 11.
