That's what we want?
In our first Summer transfer window in the PL, we signed more players by this point than we have now. Bear in mind, this was when the window ended in SEPTEMBER.
In our second, after doing reasonably well and the transfer window changes, we signed more players by this point than we have now including our (still) record signing.
So far, now several months after we scraped survival during which many fans considered launching themselves off the nearest block of flats instead of watching us, we have signed a decent winger, though unproven. This is offset by losing our most exciting and creative player throughout the last 3 and a half seasons. We have also signed a L1 centre half.
Our squad is a year older. While this may be insignificant, even beneficial for some, it most certainly isn't for the very soon to be 36 year old bloke we are relying on to net us 10+ goals a season to survive.
And people wonder why a bit of concern is creeping in. 2 weeks to go. 3-4 quality first team signings needed.
And so say all of us.
