Not concerned at the moment, more disappointed that we're going into the American tour so thin on the ground.
We have under four weeks to start the premier league with a decent squad, and just under six weeks to sign five or six more players...
They have the numbers and have fully attacked the market.
Obviously they'll have players in their squads who aren't premier league standard but i think they've all made good additions and will be a lot more competitive than pervious promoted...
Players who have left played in a total of almost 200 matches. Wank or not, who plays those games now? Young played tons at both flanks. Who plays LB if Mykolenko gets injured again? Who plays RW? And who is the sub for that position?
Not really.
Just pointing out that if the season started today we'd be in trouble.
It doesnt start today though so lets hope the club gets a move on because there's a lot of work to do in under four weeks to be ready.
Yeah the old 'can't be any worse' argument always falls down here, because people are only basing it on the most basic of metrics and not taking anything more than that into account.
The fact players like Harrison and Lindstrom struggled so much shows how difficult it is to play in the premier league.
Saying we are stronger because they're both gone and we have two random youngsters is idiotic.
They both need replacing...
They did.
They weren't great players but they were physically capable of playing in the premier league and knew the basics of what positions to be in, touch, where not to lose the ball, tracking back etc.
The young lads would be headless...
Yes, they are.
A lot worse. You underestimate the gap between a premier league player and an under 21 player.
Just look at Dobbin for an example. He had no idea how to play in the premier league.
