I can't remember all the outs, but we seemed worse off when Lampard left than when he arrived. Those 3 loans and the bounce cloud what I think was a season full of poor performances, made better by a few individual performances from the loanees. Nothing against Lampard, but I think he'd have struggled 2nd season.
Fair point Adi. I’d forgotten about Holmes who was a well priced spot from a lower league club. He’s been a half decent signing who, if he was less injury prone, who have been very good.

As regards your final paragraph...I couldn’t agree more.
