Guys,
At the beginning of the transfer window, as usual we were being linked with everyone, anyone and their dog and to be honest i was actually glad that we were keeping a fairly low profile and not making predictable waves in the market, as it possibly meant that Harry and Danny were biding their time and weighing up the correct options for the positions we really need to address!
However, now, i'm getting a bit concerned!!
With only a month left to go before we start a new season, we haven't signed anyone or look likely to do so anytime soon - well not in the positions we really need to cover ie CB, LB, LW, ST!!
Although, that's not the really concerning thing! The real pain is that everyone we've had our eye on, ie the likes of Bastos, Cana, Chamakh, even Stewart Downing and Glen Johnson, have all but signed up already for new clubs!
And worse still, with Citeh and Real Madrid buying every single decent player in the world and subsequently driving up prices, could this mean that we've been priced out of the market??? Can we still afford players or even entice them to come to us in the first place??
I know other clubs are in a similar situation too, and i also appreciate that this could be a bit premature, but when i hear about players like Robben and Vucinic suggesting that they aren't interested in joining us (2 players that could fill the avaialble slots we have) - but instead Harry is seriously looking at Viera or even Figo, it just becomes a bit worrying!
........or of course, it could just be the fact that i always get jittery before the beginning of a new season!! :-o
Thoughts??? :shrug:
