That's good and all but NONE OF THEM CAN PLAY IN GOAL.
.....at least Hull look worst than us.
silent bob
What a guy.
No.
This season was never going to be the new dawn though realistically was it ?? Koeman only been here a few weeks, I thought Rom and John were always going to leave anyway. We are where we are.. no point worrying about it just yet. We will make signings to secure our prem status....next year improve on that.. year 3 we will be back in europa. Who knows after that. Im staying positive....till at least Spurs !!!

Shame that a significant amount on this forum don't want optimism. Too many negative posters and closet Kopites on the wind up. So not only do they plague every other thread with their pessimism they'll come in this one to repeat what we've heard elsewhere.
Have to sell to buy, Bolasie isn't good enough, why aren't we buying players/why are we buying them!?
But above all else, nothing has changed lol.
It's not like I think we're going to storm in to a top 4 finish myself, but I accept the reality of where we are after Martinez took us to 2 mid table finishes and unravelled the top 7/8 consistency that Moyes brought. For those who don't believe everything the media tells them, this window was about strengthening in certain positions and trying to bring in at least one fairly big name. We've improved our centre back situation by making a £44m profit on Stones, and replacing him with a better defender which is what we needed. We may get Kone too now which would improve us even more in our weakest position in the team. Koeman has identified players he doesn't think are good enough, and we've brought in Walsh. We will be trying to bring in a statement signing, but I imagine it's quite hard to pitch 11th place to a new player from a team that's half decent.
Take 8th placed Liverpool for example. Surely they've been raiding Europe's top clubs for talent with their prestigious name in World Football and ambitious manager in charge? Oh wait, they've paid £25m for Wijnaldum of relegated Newcastle, brought in Ragnar Klavan from Augsburg and paid a bargain £34m for Mane of Southampton. What about West Ham? Paid a record fee for Ayew from Swansea, and brought in Lanzini from Al Jazira in the UAE. Quaking here at the prospect of our competition this season.
So yes we haven't had an excellent window yet, but we're making progress and there are still 2 and a half weeks to go. A lot can happen, and will in that time but it still won't be good enough for some.
