I am in the Sam camp, hands up there. Yes the result of late have been just short of disasterous, but it is clear to see that the dutch conman has spent the war-chest, Sam got in some forwards and peple are complaining there is no defenders, true there isn't any in yet and maybe there wont be the way Sam was talking re: selling to buy, so it looks like he had about 50mil which as you know in this day and age gets shag all, it's ok talking about these guys that can be got for Coleman money but they aren't ready to be thrown in to the wolves straight away.
RK spent the cash and gave us an unbalanced shower of names not a team (on paper we didn't need any blue pills last summer we were kings!), If Silva was here instead of Sam I am sure we may have had the same issues. I personally think it will be telling over the next few days, IF Sam gets some money (even without many sales) for some defenders then I would think they are bringing him back after the summer, if he gets no more cash I can see it as a 'get us to the summer' type of scenario.
And on the web at present there is this talk of Keane being possibly shipped out, don't know how true it is, but lots have come out to defend him and critize Sam at the same time, and these are probably the same people who most weeks want to have Keane hung drawn & quatered and dumped in the mersey so you can win with fans either no matter who you are.
And Arteta really, it's come to this? and some are going yeahhhhhhh, we really have sunk to the lowest level.
