Lets be right, we have had some good players over the past few years and still have a few now, but due to the lack of funds we have ended up surrounding them with average players. It wasn't long ago that Coke was just about our best attacking midfielder!! Thankfully we appear to now be in a position to not have to settle for any old player and an start to look for better quality.
I don't buy into your big kop argument though Imre, Afobe is playing in front of more at Wolves than he did with us and is scoring, but surprise, surprise they are playing him as a striker, not a winger!! Antonio too is now playing in front of larger crowds, but is I think their top scorer and top assist guy as well!! Too often SG plays players out of position, often because we do not have anyone better anyway and other times because he either has favorites who he plays or outcasts that he doesn't!! I firmly believe that SG is the problem with these players, but on the flip side he has been able to get the best out of our defence for much of this season, so he does have his good points. But to me he is a coach and not a manager, and that is what we need.
