We all had a similar conversation at the end of last season.
Our quality players will always be targets for teams who can afford them!
We hi-lighted that most likely targets would be Arteta, Lescott, Pienaar and I think Timmy was the other. Followed by Rodders and Jags.
This doesn't make us a 'selling' club. It demonstrates to me that we now have an attractive quality squad.
I think 7 years ago the only player other teams were sniffing around was Yobo!
Not much has changed over the last 6 months. Trash journalism will always link our players away with little/no foundation.
Testament to Moyes that we have a network of players that so many teams might want.
Furthermore, if we remember what a good team we are as opposed to a collection of individuals...we won't need Citehs money to challenge for a top 6 place.
The start to the season has been a blow, but with everybody fit and firing the results will follow. We are not close to our form of last season and we will get better and the new players will start to gel in as well.
It is not a question of me not being realistic, or being optimistic/pessimistic.
I have faith that we will come good and not stop believing.
