Disaster? Come off it.
Out (so far): Heskey, Cuellar & Collins
In (so far): Holman, El-Ahmadi, Vlaar, Lowton & Bennett
Alright, maybe not perfect but that is far from a disaster. Jesus Christ. :|
I think it is when we only stayed up last season by the skin of our teeth. Same is going to happen this season again(hopefully) if we dont get at least another 2-3 good signings IMO the majority of that was down to the manager and injuries. Any half-decent manager would have had us comfortably mid-table (9th-13th) last season with that squad and no injury crisis (e.g. not losing your two best players for the rest of the season in February and March).
Yes its good points you make. Deep down myself and most other people are scared they are going to have to go through the same nightmare as last year. Though we dont have Petrov and he was a massive massive player for our team. I dont believe we replaced him and this is worrying. On a positive point, Collins is gone, no one could be worse than him this season.
