it annoys me how people just come back with the old 'you moan when we dont spend you moan when we do'
the fact is I am happy we have cash to play with. 35 million pounds could have got us a lot more quality than carroll though, infact we could of got a 15 mil left back and 20 million winger.
I am concerned by some of the names we are getting linked with, I fully expect a top draw signing before august or I will not be happy. There isnt really much world class out there these days, if there was we would still have a lot of hard work to get them to join.
I am not going to get carried away. If I am honest lads I think we will be 5-6th place next season - city chelsea but esp united are only getting stronger. I'd be happy if we sit at 6th by looking at the signing and the players we've been linked so far. But then again, someone mention before that our target is 2013. Not too much expectation for next season. And you know what, every single year for the past 20 years we keep missing the target.

Agree with your sentiment. Gonna be tough to break into the top fpur especially as we need wingers and buying someone like Downing isn't going to do that much.
Would Downing get into the Left Wing position of Manure, Chelski, Arsenal, Citeh or Spurs.... I think not!
The rest of the signings have been good so far. Just worried that we should be pushing the boat out for someone like Juan Mata, a real top quality signing and a guy who is likely to only increase in value over the next 5 years!!
C'mon NESV, just a little more splurge and we'll all be happy!

The window is a few weeks old and we've splashed out on Henderson. the club cant sign from abroad yet. What more do you people want?

I'm happy I don't buy into all this the club is doomed nonsense I think we are in the best shape for years a couple more quality signings and Arsenal and citys CL spot is in danger minimum. Good post earlier highlighting the troubles with the top four.
Fergie signs or not Jones for circa 16m and united are getting stronger and have bought a great young talent when LFC do it we are wasting money unbelievable
Cast your mind back a year(we were making do with cast offs and freebies) I for one would have given my left arm to be in a position to sign the likes of Suarez Carroll and Henderson so put the razor blades away lads and sit back and let the people who know sign the players

Agreed DBS, You mention an earlier post re; troubles with the top four, and that is worth consideration. Chelsea and Arsenal are in poor shape, City are a group rather than a team! As for Man U I will never know how they managed to win the PL. Barca gave us a glimpse of what they are really worth, and if the PL wasn't in disarray they would have been lucky to make a CL place! In that light given Kenny's appointment and our recent signings with more to come we are actually not in such a bad place right now! E.g. would we swap places with Arsenal or Chelsea? I think not!

i'm not so worried about the signings. this is a long haul change for the club. we are the 6th best team in england right now. the league table didn't lie. our lack of champos league hinders top class signings for now. but this doesn't prevent us from having a top class manager, coach, structure, youth academy and by the looks of it long term business plan under the owners.
as much as they wouldn't reject it happening, i doubt the owners plan to top the table next season. i think spurs will be rubbish next season and that we may have a chance at squeezing past arsenal into the champos league. the aim is to get back into that. once that's done, it's easier to attract talent and generate the income to do so. it's then and only then will we see the top class players come to us.
everyone should keep their hair on and see where we are in two years time rather than where we are in September. the club has been in disarray for 20 years, it will take more than a summer spending spree to sort it out. time and faith and patience folks.

tomorrow´s mail on sunday claims that united´s bid for jones is in tatters & that lfc have stunned them with a £22m bid of their own.
£22m is too much and i don't want a player who opted for a move to scum but it's funny if it's true that his move to scum is collapsing.
