Not when you don't have any ambition. We don't other than milking the PL cash.

Wasn't the plan to establish ourselves as a top half team, push on to regular European football, then challenge for the title? How times have changed.

That was the original noise, although I wouldn't actually criticise Shi for that. He got a bit giddy, but that's OK, I don't think many people.thought it was realistic. That's very different from where we are now though when 17th or above is a successful season. Even this window we currently stand at a negative spend of something like £20m
 
Putting aside all the cuntery of late, I still don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that Fosun (or Shi) will be happy with 17th from here to eternity.
 
They’ve spent a lot most years to my memory, albeit mostly poorly.

Fully prepared to get checked on that.

They’ll be happy to stay up Ofcourse, no one wants to go down, but if by happy mean people will think they’ll be patting themselves on the back for finishing 17th, I doubt that will be the case.

I’d imagine the goal is most likely be a mid table, self sustaining club where they have to put as little of their own money in as possible. They’ve Ofcourse pivoted on the type of player they sign, which isn’t a bad thing.

I’m not to concerned that we’re in a negative net spend tbf. If we’ve got the players In that strengthen us, then kudos.

Albeit they have a long way to go to earning the fans trust etc back, and rightly so after the debacle of the last few years
 
Yeah, I won’t feel comfortable until we get a decent centre back.
 
I don't know anything about Carmo, but if he is then we need another target

I don't either, but he was highly rated a few years ago, think his move to Porto went to shit. We probably think we can get him back on track

He became like the Portuguese version of Harry Maguire at Porto. Maybe a little unfair but it was a reputation built on some very high profile horror show moments. Unlike Harry Maguire who has always remained professional he was then booted out of the Porto squad for 'inappropriate behavior'. Now, this was Sérgio Conceição who booted him out so you never know what was actually going on but it's certainly a concern for me.

He had a seriously awful injury when he was at Braga as well and has always been painfully slow, even before the injury.

There have been periods where he's looked absolutely magnificent, mainly when he was at Braga. Calm, strong, press resistant, sprays passes left and right... But the next fuck up is always around the corner with Carmo.
