We boosted the squad with £115m worth of players to add to the likes of reina, gerrard, skrtel, lucas, agger, johnson,,,,,,so surely we should be a hell of a lot better than 8th. The only reason we are doing so bad is because of the manager, not the players (and if it IS the players that are poor that's STILL the managers fault for signing them - either way he must go asap).
No point in making any new signings if the boss isn't up to the job. If we've got £30m to spend this summer the entire pot should go towards getting a top manager.
