I don’t really understand this mental fatigue thing, and the notion that they haven’t stopped for 2 years. The season shut down for a couple of months around April last year - sure the players needed to keep fit but they had literally nothing else to do. It’s a weak excuse that is used to paper over the cracks of a fundamentally flawed long term strategy. Given the amount of resource and support at their disposal, and relative to the vast majority of people in society who have suffered metal strain during this pandemic to levels a footballer will never understand, I just can’t tolerate it.I'm not sure I'd quite say on the beach, or that they don't care. But it's been a long couple of seasons, no fans, poor results etc. I think they are mentally fatigued /burnt out and in need of a break, and it is translating into mistakes, not 100% effort etc. The fact that we don't really have much left to play for this season won't be helping either. Think most will look a lot better after a break and proper pre season
Because they believe that when he hits his stride he’ll be a player we’d very much be interested in but couldn’t then afford as he’d cost far more than that.If that’s the case, why spend €35M on an 18 year old with zero experience?

I’m completely supportive of Nuno but this is my biggest gripe - silva and Semedo were not what we needed to kick in footballing wise and therefore you have to question if other motives clouded the club’s judgment
I’d say a certain agent owes us big time this summer. He also owes Nuno some of the players he REALLY wants
(Hope this post does not come across as top arrogant for anyone)
Has Nuno ever come out and said he hasn't been given the players he wants?
Personally, I've no idea what goes on behind the scenes and just wondered if this was fact and had been documented somewhere.
It’s unlikely he would when it’s Mendes (his own agent) pretty much driving our transfer strategyHas Nuno ever come out and said he hasn't been given the players he wants?
