What we need as fans from those running the club is an actual transfer strategy. I'm excited about plans for the future regarding the stadium development and moving our academy to Cat 1 and realise that if we didn't have EM as owner we would be in big trouble. My problem is that we seem to have a philosophy of throwing a bunch of crap against a wall hoping that some sticks. This usually involves selling our best young players to fund the signing of wasters on the north side of 30 looking for one last contract. I'd much rather we had signed a quality player in his mid-twenties like a Jed Wallace or Alex Mowatt instead of signing a boat load of players in midfield hoping 1 or 2 come good. Both of those players I named would have been expensive but we need quality instead of quantity and the term "expensive" also applies to those who we signed that will not contribute, just collect a wage. One need look no further than the signing of Da Costa as an example. 30 years old in 2 months, signed a long contract until 2023 and loaned out 6 months after we signed him. This is the kind of incompetent transfer which is holding our club back and it is a strategy that the Greeks must fix if we are to move forward.
