The race for 7th....

[Allezfan]

I see no reason why we should fear anybody next Season.

Because we're cowards who bottle it when the pressure is on?

Our problem isn't quality, it's mentality.

 

[Brownie]

Im normally a realist.

But I think, as I say, IF we can retain our key players, Fellaini, Baines, Jelavic, Heitinga.
Secure some quality players Pienaar, Donovan, Dempsey
And start the Season in August.

I see no reason why we should fear anybody next Season.

We never do fear anyone and I expect to beat everyone at home but then we lose to Blackburn or QPR in the first game of the season and that's that. That said if we still had Mikel I would back us to compete for the title.

Gibson's the new Mikel.

There's a lot of ifs in there mate.

We know the squad will be under threat from what Elstone already told MBE. Moyes will need to recycle to bring anyone in (more than likely he'll get just a chunk of any fee with the rest paying down debt). The four you highlight will be here, I think. Pienaar's already here so no gain there. The squad may be strengthened marginally but that'll just allow us to compete for the position we're in right now if others with money carry on their trend of spending. As for starting in August: that means dealing with expectation of a decent season...I think we know what this lot are by now - not characters with the sternest of constitutions it's fair to say.

Without a shadow of a doubt I can say:

a) we'll never reach a top four slot with this lot in control
b ) we'll never win a trophy with this lot in control

I know what you mean like, but don't forget this lot in control have delivered a top four finish. So they're obviously capable of doing it.

You'll come back saying it's harder to do now because of the ascension of City, Spurs and Newcastle, but that's hardly Moyes and Kenwright's fault is it.

Well the August start is the key.

I do agree with what your saying about mentality, but winning is a habit and its habit that this group of players do sometimes get into.

Just let my dream, its the only way I can justify the outlay of £600s worth of STs that I still have to pay for.

It is most definitely that frauds fault.

Nothing wrong with dreaming mate.

Did the Arteta money go to pay Aguero's wages for 3 weeks?
