Maybe, but the season opens in less than four weeks, and anyone who thinks we can wait until close that date for new signings is living in cloud cuckoo land. If we don't have proven PL-capable signings by the end of August, we will struggle to get any that might come in after that time in shape and "Bielsafied" (just look at what happened to JKA when he was expected to get fit for once) for seasons start. If we wait until AFTER the season begins, e are simply giving those players who got us into the PL a millstone of likely poor results and chasing points that ought not to be necessary.

Come on Orta, PROVE ME WRONG, for once.
