Strengthening needed

[super_pig]

So we have basically the same midfield as last year and the same defence plus Edgar?
And you don't think we should be trying to improve on that?

plus we changed the manager. brought in three championship standard players??
it's all a bit "i want new players in the transfer window like everyone else or i'll thqeam and thqeam and thqeam!!"

The 3 players we got are not central midfielders or defenders.

So you are happy with the defence and midfield?

And you don't want the club to strengthen every transfer window? I sure as hell do.

yeah i'm happy with them for now at this point in time.. actually our squad is too big.. if anything we have too many midget midfielders.. edgar is a good signing and Collins is as good as a new signing.. so is JCR.. proper man management got us three new players without doing anything.. we should be good enough now at this level.. we didn't need to strengthen because we did it before the window finished. it all sounds a bit 'everyone else is doing it so we should' to me.. just my opinion

I'm glad it's not just me Roy, you'd think you were going mad judging by the response you get by expressing disappointment at not addressing glaring errors.

Patronising guff about winning a fee games in a row. The problem is, the same people spouted the same guff last year.

Everything was going to be sorted in the JTW. Except it wasn't.

It is possible to be disappointed without being hysterical.

Sums up this board perfectly.

Express dissapointment and expect ridicule. Winning a few games shouldn't detract from the ongoing error of not strengthening key areas of our squad.

Is it just me who thinks Burns is a smokescreen ? Can't remember whether Jim or Nige said it but one of em intimated the fans would be very happy with one of the sizgnings and to be fair most of us had never heard of Hammond or Burns.

I reckon Harry was the main target and Burns back up, could be completely wrong but I feel it in me watter :-D

Be it on a permanent basis or via the loan window, we clearly still need to strengthen.

Judging by the various rumours of centre backs we have apparently put in bids for, NA thinks so too.

It's no use saying we've strung a few wins together so everything will be ok.

I'm not disappointed because we haven't signed someone at the last minute on Jim White day. I'm disappointed that we haven't sorted out clear defensive deficiencies several weeks ago.

I'm sure Nigel has a plan. He's a top manager that knows what it takes to get out of this division.

I do hope though that we haven't missed out due to not offering the right amount of money.

I look forward to the loan window opening with nervous trepidation.

Our ability to finish in the top 2 come the end of the season surely depends on it.

When Man UTD won the prem for the third time in a row alex ferguson said we will look to strengthen during the summer

in other words , take any football club in the world and say can it be strengthened
guess what the answer is

dont be nervous ,Im sure Nigel isnt
so long as were are a bit stronger than our opponents we dont need to be 1970s brazil just yet

We need a CB and a CM and I think we'll get one of each on loan. Short term LB wouldn't go a miss but thats just me being greedy
