Some questions need to be answered?

1) Why is Redknapp blaming Modric and Crouch for a defeat? Players have always been linked with other clubs.

2) Why have we started a season with Livermore and Kranjcar our only available CMs?

3) Everybody knows our defence is leaky, we signed nobody and started with Dawson and Kaboul.

4) Why have we not sold the majority of our dead wood?

5) Why have we bought 1 striker when we needed 2 strikers a CM, and a CB at least?

6) Why are we going into te last 2 days of the transfer window with 90% of our work to be done?

It looks like an absolute shambles. Do we even know who we want to sign?

1. I think he is pissed off the fact other brad we haven't signed anyone yet

2 because they are injured or in modric's case, point is stopping them from playing

3 I would have not though they would be as bad as yesterday

4 Levy asking for too much just ask the journo who works for villa

5 Levy wants to sell deadwood first causing our targets to go else where, we should of taken a hit by buying first and then moved them on like arsenal, chelsea, liverpool, man city and man utd

6 To get players cheaper imo

If I could answer those, I think Levy would be after my C.V..:grin:

Seriously,

1. Because he needs a scapegoat!?

2. Poor Fitness coach and injuries

3. Ask harry redknapp and see number 2

4. Ask Levy, nobody interested at the prices we want.

5. Poor awarness in the transfer market and Redknapps inabilty to make a judgement call
6. See above

There are lots of questions and these aren't neccessarily the right ones, better questions would be around the system and personnel that have been selected for the first 2 games. Especially how after the second half at Utd where everybody witnessed their midfield running beyond ours and straight at our back 4, how and why the manager elected to go with 4 offensive midfield players and offer the defence no protection at all against a side with the forward power of City?

Another serious question is why Redknapp is allowed to act with the media unlike any other manager in the Premiership. His behaviour and constant attention seeking is a disgrace, he has undermined the chairman constantly, he has kept the Modric situation at the centre of the media even going against his chairman and saying it might be better if he was sold. That must have totally played with Luka's emotions and then he complains that his heads not right! He has a column in a shit rag and personally I think he must have some type of agreement with Talkshit as he's never off that fuckin joke of a radio station!

As far as the CB's are concerned we hace 3 fit CB's and Redknapp bought 2 of them so presumably he's happy with them, he obviously felt that the bigger issue as to why we have been leaky was the GK.

It's not always easy to shift so called deadwood, what if nobody wants them? What if the players can't gome to agreement on personal terms etc etc? We have already got rid of O'hara, Woodgate and Keane who Harry wasted another 15 million on! In fact we've only made 2 succesful signing under Harry and he admitted to not even knowing who Sandro was and that levy done VDV.

Ah fuck it, I give up right now!

1. Redknapp picked Crouch, so he should take the blame for playing such an inept and awful striker,

2. Injuries are a major contributor, but still to play Kranjcar in CM is suicidal at best.

3. Dawson, Kaboul, Bassong, Gallas and King are good enough, but even the very best defenders would struggle without any protection from their midfield.

4. Because most are paid too much and Levy has attached high transfer fees in order to get a reasonable return on his investment.

5. Because we can't pay top dollar to get the quality we crave.

6. Because we've dithered and chased targets that are financially out of reach or Redknapp's favourites, who will add nothing but more expenditure to wage bill and no improvement in quality.

I think question 4 answers all the others

It really doesn't. Answer this, if Daniel Levy had Sheikh Mansour's money and gave arry the same budget would he have chosen to sign any of David silva, Edinburg Dzeko or Kun Aguero or would he still be trying to sign Scott Parker, Joe Cole and Didier Drogba ?

Ledley King compared this transfer window as disruptive as the one where Berbatov left

I guess that was Harry's fault too

If you were Levy and had a manager in place who is likely to leave at the end of the season, allowing him to spend money on players that the next manager doesn't want is probably why we have dithered. Couple this with Levy's pride and stubbornness over Modric ain't exactly ideal.

What's the point in answering it?

None of us know, it's utterly pointless.

Do you honestly think that Harry's played no part in this fiasco.

He told the chairman that he couldn't sell Modric because he was our most important player and that we wouldn't be able to cope without him.

If you like I will go back and find the quotes.

What fiasco? We have lost 2 games against the 2 teams who are miles better than any other team in the league. The only fiasco is all you panic merchants.

In all honesty, would you have leapt with joy if Redknapp has sanctioned the sale of Modric to Chelsea for the original testing bid of £22m?

Whoever the Manager would have been would have said exactly what Harry said - if we are to push on we keep our best players and we add two or three more upgrades.

Where is the insanity in that philosophy?

i don't think we have as much money as we all would like to think the club has.
The club most likely blew millions on the Olympic stadium fiasco and then spent millions on challenging the decision.
might be a reason levy is trying to get over the top money for our dead wood and
its also the reason why we have not brought anyone significant in the last couple of seasons (except rafa)
but that’s my take on it anyway

Clearly it's the manner of the defeats rather than just the defeats in themselves... If we'd had two 1-0 defeats then it would be entirely different...
