I'm tired of the bosman shit. I love the prospect of getting a good player for nothing but not at the expense of a great player with a price tag. I think Melberg will do ok and Ujfalusi would be fantastic (which leads me to believe tha Secco will either fuck it up or Ranieri will bench him until the 88th every game) but it confirms our board's hestitation regarding player purchases.
They are a paradox. They think they are saving money by buying three medium ranked players (Tiago, Almiron, Nocerino, Andrade) as opposed to buying fewer top ranked players.
Then they finally splurge and it was on Sissoko. Granted he's done well, but they spent money on him after purchasing 3 other players who were suppose to do his job. Had they left Nocerino, Tiago, and Almiron where they were and pushed harder to get Momo in the summer they would have spent less in the long term.
I'm afraid that they'll repeat themselves this summer. Ujfalusi is great, but he's yet another bosman signing after Melberg, Grygera, Salihamidzic, etc. I'm afraid they are trying to build a squad based on a desired budget rather than team needs and player chemistry.
