I have to say Andy Carroll was quiet a bit over priced, but I'm still going to back him while he's in a red shirt. And I'm fine with the money paid for the summer signings, we paid that much for them because we wanted to sort out or business early, so the team could gel. And downing is 27 and a different player to Meireles, so can't be compared properly. Hendo is also not unproven or unheard of otherwise we wouldn't have known about him, lets be honest he's 21 and already got quiet a few premier league games under his belt. Adam also hasn't been bought to be the heart beat of the team he has been bought to strengthen the team just like every other player. It's quiet annoying the way people being so short sighted when we are building a long term team. We need to stop concentrating on the past, what's done is done now we just need to support our team and believe in them.
