But it's not the fist two or three games is it? It's likely going to be the entire month the way this club works and the likelihood is we are waiting on Chelsea to do business to allow Broja out, we should have added a forward before now. And yes don't panic buy but they've had most of two months to bring someone in after Richy went and probably a year since they knew he was off. That's plenty of time to identify and secure a target. There's not panicking and there's complete inaction. If I can't express frustration with this clubs constant mismanagement on a football club forum then what else is it for?
But this is the issue - we're in a period of a rebuild under a new DOF and manager but you're judging them unfairly based on the recruitment mess of the last 5-6 seasons.
The squad is garbage mate, hogwash, rubbish - we needed about 8-10 signings on July 1st - that was never going to be solved by the Chelsea game it just wasn't. Most clubs haven't finished their business yet.
Yes we sold Richarlison but that largely was to cover losses - it didn't allow Thelwell to go throw £40 million on a top CF on 150k a week.
Its not ideal mate but fans need to have patience and realise Rome wasn't built in a day look at Arsenal under Arteta.
Fans can either get behind the DOF/manager or continue the instability of the last few years of in house fighting and protests because we aint going from 16th to 6th in one summer.
If DCL had stayed fit no one would be fuming thats the issue - Newcastle are mega rich with no FFP worries yet they are a Callum Wilson injury away from being in our position because they haven't yet signed a CF.
Its not as easy as FIFA.
