So we left off with a good run at the end. Gave us alot of faith going forward. Armed with money to spend. We have been linked to everyone from Geoff Hurst to Pele. We now have N.R. Coker...great!!! We now have a 15 yr old "starlet". Look I'm not trying to be sarcastic...okay I am a bit, but there was an expectation created, not by us, but the new "money" available, that we would strengthen our "threadbare" squad. The scoreboard is won-1 and lost-4
players. Maybe clubs elsewhere know that the Prem clubs have money and make us pay a higher premium for them, but this doesn't seem to stop the "Liverpools",even the"Pompeys" of the world from signing their needs. If we have to pay a million or so more...so be it. We need players, new blood now...not halfway through the season. This is the best time to have them "gel" with the rest of our team.
Look lads, I will support this team until the day I have no breath left. I admit I am frustrated. I am grateful to Mr. Lerner and MON for what they have done so far, but this has fallen well below expectations. We all know we need a deep squad to grab a euro place. Lets at least replace what we've lost so we don't go backwards. I still have faith in the current set up, but they need to pull the trigger faster and not worry about overpaying a little.
Up the Villa!!!
