AFC Bournemouth v Leicester City - Fifth Round FA Cup

Polishing a turd. Im astounded you think so little of a bunch of players who have had a pretty good season so far, including those games I mentioned but you chose to ignore.

Astounded but not surprised.

Presumably other clubs below us also have worse recruitment records, seeing as thats the only factor you cling to?
Can’t comment on other clubs Rob really, some like Palace have recruited well but not in the manager dept. Others have championship squads but haven’t spent 200m like us.

We have bought two many average players in positions we didn’t need, injured ones in positions we did need and not enough players at all in positions we were short.

Rank amateur and holding out for the predicted change in that team.
 
Would anybody care to offer any solutions to our line up for Sunday? In view of the liklyhood of having our two main strikers abscent?

Or maybe we will be calling on the canteen staff to fill in.
Like you I have no idea who will be in the lineup. So I won't be worrying about it.
I will enjoy the game whoever turns up.

Seems you can't comment on those results either, but never mind.

Says you. You need to give it a rest.
You are just as bad as RnR with your negativity.
 
I get a few diehards on here would defend our recruitment team if they signed Stevie Wonder but the majority of fans get it thankfully. Like others have pointed out… rank amateur. Feel sorry for Andoni I really do.
most of the fans I speak with don't agree with you but each to there own, what people have to remember is that 20 mill buys you generally average players, in AI system we need 2 or 3 attackers in the 9 role, 4-6 wingers which we have, 2-3 in the 10 role which we have, 2 in the 8 and 2 In the 6 which we have ( adams injured though ) defence wise we have 3 right backs (2 if you exclude fredericks which to be fair we should) 2 left backs and 4 central defenders pretty well balanced squad, but we had to buy depth in the last few windows which we have, sometimes this season our bench has looked the strongest it ever has. all the players we signed have faults but that's how we get them we buy them thinking the manager can improve them if we were buying PL ready then we would be looking at 50 mill plus per player and even with that we're not guaranteed a good buy, there is the occasional cheap gem out there but that is rare if it wasn't then the transfer fees wouldn't be high at all.
I get you don't rate hughes but if howe made these signings and they were performing the same way then I doubt you would be so against them (that's how it seems anyway can only comment on what is said on here)
 
I enjoy the football. He is polishing a turd though with the players he’s been signed. He didn’t have any central midfielders so he had to convert a jobbing winger. He has been given half of Europes wingers with the shooting power of an Aldi water pistol and has had to knacker out one centre forward while waiting for us to sign another injury prone one who….. is now injured.

such a hopeless position, he'll do the decent thing and resign, then?

despite the desperate hyperbole, got to admire your blinkered determination less so your repetitive and misguided stupidity

Sinisterra got five goals in less than half a season for Leeds. Tavernier got five goals and five assists in half a season under O’Neil. Billing got seven goals last season under O’Neil. I’m really not sure how you have come to the conclusion that the manager doesn’t have the tools at his disposal to be successful, he clearly does. The players I’ve just mentioned have all proven that they can perform consistently at this level and produce goals and assists, Iraola is just not getting the best out of them. The recruitment hasn’t been as bad as you are making out.

Bloody hell mate, that defeat was like Viagra to you. Double dose and stiff as fook 24 hours later. Love it.

In your opinion, who are the average players in positions we didn’t need?
 
Christ lose a game or play poorly, and all the doom and gloomers are justifying their obsessions.
We have the one who says we're doomed in every game.
We have the one who blames the recruitment team for everything
The dom hater is surprisingly quiet this season, not sure how he can show his face.
The cook hater, bit quiet about last night
The Spanish manager hater, who loves o'neil
Then the cornish guy desperate to get a response

Oi!!! What about me? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
Sadly I think that our manager may have underestimated the opposition. Not having Solanke at least on the bench appears to have cost us dear! Is he injured or was just rested for this game?
I do not accept this. We fielded four or five attack-minded Premier League players. Any one of them should have been able to step up in these circumstances.
 
The Recruitment has been haphazard, daft....how can a club sign so many already injured players, injury prone players and so many of the same type....hardly any with leadership qualities....the reason is because not enough work is done on research....and allowing bigger clubs to palm off their failures for excessive fees.
Don't even think about getting me going about 'loans out'..

Postscript : Holy ScumSurfers !
I am f√cking seething...incandescent even...
...Heavens to Murgatroyd !

....Brooks ain't even on the fffff√cking bench at Anfield !

Why is it “likely” that both will be absent?

Dom has been nursing the injury but made it through the game at the weekend. He was rested last night presumably to make sure he’ll be ok for Sunday

Unal went for a check up and we’ve had no update, so I can’t understand why your default position is always so bloody negative

Oh, you’re back on that again?

Would that be the two players who couldn’t get into our first team and who are not even consistent starters in a Championship team?

But of course both are better than the players we’re currently using.

Just out of interest, which of Christie or Cook would you drop for Rothwell?

Hate to break it to you, but I’m still not sure the majority of fans do “get it”. Whatever “it” may be, other than a vendetta for some reason against certain individuals at the club.

No point in going through points that have already been made because you show zero interest in attempting to understand, but if you’re still of the opinion that most of the players and recent signings at Bournemouth are “turd”, then I’d suggest Bournemouth maybe isn’t the team for you. You might be better off picking a big 4 team, or maybe a team like Barca/PSG, and then enjoying their players instead.
