    3 big first team signings next!!!!!

    Is what we need and I think we will turn our attention to quality striker no10 and a defensive mid that will go straight into starting 11 but I'd still rather let. Gayle have 5-6 games to show what he can do in the prem before we drop him to bench

    We can't go into this season with Dummett as our starter. I'd like to see help with defensive mid as well. As for a striker, we have two who I think can take us to January and we can reassess then.

    Very dangerous to gamble until January by which time we could well be adrift. Mitro will never be a 20 goal a season forward which we desperatelyy need.Also a holding midfield & LB are minimum requirements going into the new season. Surely we have the money to invest as we have not even spent the profit Rafa made last season let alone any of Mr Ashley's promised funds !
    OK we need to get rid of the dross & this may be the problem but I fully expect activity in the next 2/3 weeks.If not, the gamble starts again.... & we know how that ended last time. Hold onto your hats !!!!!!!

    His hands are tied by the amount Ashley has made available for purchases as well as wages.

    I think he's expecting Rafa to pay for players out of his own money

    Trouble is Rafa will have been told to move players on to generate cash as our wage bill is getting out of hand with the dross we have.

    The problem is any one with half a football brain knows that the players we have to move on are shyte so Rafa is in a Catch 22 situation The shyte players will just sit on their hands and collect their overly inflated salaries knowing that if their moved on they will take a huge pay drop.

    What would you do if you were the players, they certainly won't be plaguing their agents to broker them a move for a pay decrease !!!!
