That's a bit like saying those who saw through Martinez and said we were going nowhere from about November 2014 were only actually right once he got sacked though isn't it.
They were right all along of course, but plenty of people said we had to give him time, and put forward countless embarrassing excuses (difficult run of fixtures, focusing on Europe, distracted by cup runs, young team, let down by senior players blah blah blah) before eventually accepting the truth of the matter.
I'm not saying that this window will end up being a disappointment, and I obviously hope it doesn't. At this moment in time though, it has been. And seeing as we've already started playing competitive games, have passed the deadline for players to be available for the next round of a supposedly very important European adventure, and the league campaign starts in 3 days time, that is pretty damn frustrating. If saying so makes me a bedwetter then fine, buy me a new tumble dryer because I'll say it every day until I feel differently.
