We have tried over the years to improve on our squad, every signing had to be better than what we had. It has been a series of small steps that have seen us become a solid outfit.
But this window it has been a giant leap. A giant leap of faith? Maybe. But it has raised the bar significantly in terms of expectation.
Pulis said he wanted to build something that will last here. He also said that the signings he makes must be better than the players we have. Lets hope they give him another extension on his contract.
Megson said we would be excited. He wasn't wrong.
I think we still may lose Evans tomorrow, but i wouldn't be as disappointed as i would have been a few weeks ago, and if that is the case there may be more incomings.
If he stays...well...things could be worse i suppose.
