Hardy Forest
Vital 1st Team Regular
You really need to check your facts when you repeat garbage like "a team gutted of their best players".
They disposed of 17 players in the close season, 7 of whom had not played a single game for the first team.
Of those 17 players, 13 were released upon the end of their contracts, 2 went on free transfers and 2 sold for money - one for 2m and one for 180k.
Hardly gutting the first team, is it?
The incoming players cost next to nothing, but that is hardly surprising as Duchatelet has refused to invest any of his own money into the Club; they were, however, a distinct upgrade on the players they let go.
Any need to personalise it by using the word garbage Mau? Just because I dont agree with you. You also seem to have missed out the words "a lot of " from your quote. Again, makes a bit of a difference to what I said. I didnt say they were gutted or lost all of thier players.
The point was, as I'm sure you know, that they were in a similar position to us , in that it was a new team having to gel. Which was what the conversation was about. The excuse for us not performing well, is no different for them, yet they aren't doing too badly.
