C- He's got one tactic ie counter attack football which can be frustrating against top clubs but is useless against the small clubs who are happy with a draw. There's a reason that we've got the worst start since 1989. The manager is pretty much in the middle of itC. I guess Ole gets no credit for his tactics when beating City, Spurs and drawing with Liverpool.
D. Maguire, AWB, James and Bruno in two windows is a very good start. If he signs two more players of quality in the summer that would truly be 3 great windows.
E. These guys will be gone once he has replacements. You can't gut your squad overnight.
I don't know enough about the club workings to comment on A and B. However, good transfer windows will negate the need for a DOF to an extent. That's been my beef.
B- Bruno has been scouted for more then a year and a half. Its too early to comment on that one. James has pace but that's pretty much it. He seem to have regressed with us. 50m for a fullback who can't attack is a bit excessive while 80m for Maguire is an absolute joke especially since that meant loaning a slight downgrade to him to Roma with the prospect of losing him on the cheap. Leicester must have laughed their way to the bank. They are certainly laughing at their 3rd place while we're lingering at what? 9th place?
E- Well that's exactly what Ole did
That's the thing they weren't good transfer windows at all. A decent manager wouldn't blow his entire budget on 2 defenders (who are decent but hardly WC) when the midfield is non existent. He also wouldn't let his most consistent goalscorer go when his alternative are two players who seem more comfortable on the flanks then upfront and he would certainly not let anyone goes unless replacements are brought in first. Those are rookie mistakes done by a rookie who had tanked at any managerial role he had which was above amateur level.
