I'm not bothered at all. We will get new players in but they will be the right ones not panic buys.
The thing I'm most excited about is the brand of football we play now. That's more exciting than a million quid stiker, in my opinion.
And even now our squad is better than last year. Oh, and Barnes will score twice tomorrow.
I think people are just frustrated aren't they? Its perfectly understandable.
As things stand, if Murray were to get injured tomorrow we would be TOTALLY f***ed (in terms of a play-off push). There are no two ways around that, however you dress it up.
I feel like an idiot because I am beginning to lose faith and am certain we won't go up with the current squad..
Strikers like Barnes and Holroyd will never even get us close to promotion.
I look it like this. We have a transfer budget. 70% of which has been spent on bringing in players that will ensure that we do not flirt with relegation (like the past two seasons). 30% left over for a few other additions, including a striker. What is obvious is this amount isn't enough to bring in a striker.
As fans we are impatient, we see Tonys millions spent on the ground and believe that he will splash the cash on players regardless. Well it aint gonna happen, we have a budget and we live within it.
Gus has ensured that we wont go down this season. Next season we will not have to spend on those type of players. We will still have a transfer budget to live within, but it will probably be a bigger one and can spend it on flair players.
Yes, our opening season at Falmer will probably be in L1. But crowds will be good and we can make a real go of promotion next year.
From relegation candidates past two seasons to promotion the next was always asking it. We are building a ground and a team. Like the ground it'll take more than a year.
I'll still enjoy this season, knowing that we are at last moving forward as a club.
Transfer deadline is 5pm next Tuesday
That's when I'll start moaning, booing the manager and chairman, unless we sign someone from League Two who is rubbish but someone on here reckons "could do a job"
