It's a strange one. At the end of last season, most fans would agree that we were fine for central midfielders but lacking in defence. Quite why we have tackled those 2 positions in the reverse order is beyond the comprehension of most people. We now have way too many central midfielders, no decent defensive options/cover and no money to buy reinforcements; we will have to rely on people buying the dross that we don't want in order to save up for a defender or 2. Bad management is that. At least we've now got a left winger - shame it took about 10 years to get one though. Let's hope the left back problem is solved a little quicker. Might I suggest we have a whip round?
While I can see how some people would be worried/mystified that we've signed 2 CMs, and haven't yet solved the defensive areas that we need to strengthen, i'd like to remind people that the window hasn't closed, and that it doesn't matter what order we sign players in - as long as we sign them. A lot of clubs will be playing hardball all summer, and i'm sure you'll find that there'll be a flurry of transfers closer to the end of the window. If the window slams shut and we haven't signed a defender,
then and then only, i'll worry and think about criticising. No offence, but to call it "bad management" is pure ignorance, in fairness.
