A box to box player and good striker and I think we are good to go.

If the transfer rumour forum doesn't show does that mean I have been banned from that forum?

Many top teams aren't in the same financial position as us nor are they building a stadium.

It was always going to be difficult this summer regardless of what's been said.
Although it's the same thing EVERY summer!

We have improved the squad every year up to this year. Have you not noticed what's happened over the last five years? We were a team with a small chance of making CL football who generally didn't make it, now we're regulars. We had a few stars like Bale or Modric backed up with a lot of B-list players, now we've got outstanding players all over the pitch. Even a couple of years ago we had a great first XI but lacked quality in depth, now we don't.

And none of this was done by splashing out on star names. But if anyone spends more than us people start freaking out.

Improved every year?! Not really. I think things are great at the moment, but could be better, especially if we want to keep up with the teams around us. Still no effective backup for Kane after how many seasons?! In fact, apart from Kane, who was the last decent striker we bought?!

Yes really more like, the squad has improved year on year, that doesn't mean it's perfect by any means.

I read all the posts here, look I would be very happy to give our own home grown talent the nod over buying new players, but it's all about what Poch wants.

A huge part of Kane's emergence is our big money strikers failing.

Exactly the reason you need to set your expectations.
I'm just saying regardless of our current situation it's always this way. Although this season we just have an extra excuse to be!
