I think we are all in agreement that the quantity of new players has effected the team more than anything

Did he say this the season we bought Klinsmann, Dumitrescu and Popescu, but were still shite? And then after he left they miraculously started playing brilliant?

there is not a lot you can do with the kind of players we have right now.

You have to say that this is an honest opinion from a World Cup winner. He know's what he's talking about and herein lies the deep rooted issue with this team.

They haven't been as good as we hoped but all our worst performers were already here

Didn't seem to have a clue when he was managing the team though.

Sensationalist headline again. I heard the interview on TS and there was no blasting. Even the report states immediately after the headline 'believes'.
Erikson will be even better next season. Soldado and Lamela though? £56M pissed up the wall imo.
Hang on, Spurs pissed 56M up the wall???
No, cant be right. Decimal point must be in the wrong place.
I bet Levy hasnt slept properly all season.
Wouldnt be surprised if he has them killed and sells their internal organs on the black market (ebay) to try and get some money back.
Would explain Lamelas mysterious disappearence and rumours of back problems. Probably sold his kidneys lol.

Ardiles' team did do pretty well against Watford in that epic 6-3 win!

Hindsight is 20/20

I don't doubt that but he knows a good player when he see's one.

"At the end of the day, whoever the manager is, AVB earlier in the season and later on Tim, there is not a lot you can do with the kind of players we have right now."

Is Ossie saying that the club flushed almost 100m Euro's down the loo ?
