You have to have a positive attitude, and everything is going to plan, in terms of New owners, New Manager, a good January window, and now we are starting early on the summer transfer.... Its looking rosey. And yes we should be looking to challenge for the title and not just the top 4.
But we have to be realistic. We are far behind Man Utd and Chelsea, and it will take a couple of big name signings to get us back on track.
I have faith on the likes of Henderson, Shelvey, Sterling, Coady, Flannagan, Kelly, Robinson, Suso. But they are not the finished article at all and they need to be bedded into the first team. We need a couple of big names get us going for example Mata, Diego, sanchez, nasri, modric or aguero. Pipe dreams I know, but realistically we are still some way behind the blue scum and the red scum. Then of course we have to throw Man City in the mix. This transfer window is a massive one.

Are we bollox far behind them.  They are slipping and clinging on to many 'has beens', whilst we are climbing...FAST! If the season had been another 5 or 6 matches longer last term, I reckon we'd have been in the top 3 or 4 at worst.

Kuyt is going to be in the team next season, for me it is his work ethic that keeps him there. But like you said, for us to improve dramatically Kuyt should be a backup player at best.

You mean Kuyt, the guy who was our top scorer last season, who got a Garrick against Scum, and was hugely influential in helping the Dutch to the world cue final?
Hope he doesn't even make the bench!!! Lol hahaha a

Yeah, to a point, but it's also since Kenny put him up from. He knows where the goal is.

How is it that a guy who works his nuts of every game and who and has double figures for goals and assists year after year whilst mostly being played out of of position always gets such a slagging???
What do you mean my birth certificate expired?

Not slagging him at all. What i am saying is that we should be buying a proper winger for the right side, who has pace can beat a man and supply regular crosses in the box. An i think that Kuyt is behind Carroll and Suarez upfront. Not slagging him at all, think he does a good job on the pitch, and puts in 100% every game, but he is not a right winger, and is being played out of position
