No, Donald.
No signings = No improvement
Simple as that. You wonder why people are a tad concerned.
Not sure that Maths equation is an exact science.
Plus we have made signings and improved our defence which was our main problem area last season.
I think my

We had 3 main problems last season
Defence
Central midfield
Wingers
The defence seems sorted, but the midfield is weaker in cover. Could be another long season for Mason, which doesnt fill many with confidence.
Kane will burn out by January if we dont support him, and Lamela and Townsend are still crap.
So, I think the maths is fairly accurate.
Yep, makes sense. We've made no signings, we haven't added a starting centreback and depth. Our players don't improve and always play to the same level.
Not sure what is more amusing. The Daily Mail linking us with Lambert, or people getting angry about it.
One is OK , nothing special , 2 are just squad players .
Big deal .
Looking forward to flowing exciting football or
just the same old crap , with one game in 5
worth watching ?
Zivkovic is loaned to Willem II, Klaasen scored 2 times and Bazoer is allright.
Imbula would've been perfect in the mid yesterday.
edit: I mean today.
Would you like us to sign Di Maria ?
Because I think .
He might sign for Paris
Saint-Germain !
(mirrored your lovely Haiku structure so please appreciate it).
Don't tune in then mate. Peacefully protest the demon Levy. Facts are that we aren't going to spend massively after being burnt by the Bale money and have put in a new spending/transfer structure. Best get used to it.
Coaching a system is a lot more important then signings. Under Ramos when we signed Gomes, dos Santos, Modric etc we were considered top four contenders yet we famously suffered our worst start in years.
Same as under AVB with the famous 7 - with all those signings bought from the sale of one player, we were a shoe in for fourth... Nope.

Yes. Im sure Ade, Soldado and Townsend will be a fucking revelation up top next season.
Maybe you should have told Poch not to sell Paulinho on that basis.
I'm sorry, but that's just stupid
I think its fairly clear that nobody wants to start the season with the squad as it is. Those who were all fine about the kids 3 weeks ago expected some improvement, despite their apparent hopes about Pritchard and Alli possibly doing a Kane....
Im not sure anyone will be all like "meh" should we upgrade on Mason and replace one of the 3 CMs we are down on, bin Townsend and replace Soldado and Ade....so why they act like they are not bothered about signings is beyond me

Right, no I agree. Lets go do a 2013. Actually no, we could do better. Lets do a 2008.
Our business this summer had been exceptional. We will sign a central midfielder and we will sign a striker. People will still moan and no doubt hope the players fail to prove a point.
It's now down to Pochettino to get the best out of them. If we don't have someone who can coach a football team (which I feel we do) then what good are these signings? Defensively yesterday, first half especially we looked dreadful. But why? I was told Alderweireld would fix that? Point is, we could have had Maldini back there and we'd still have looked dodgy.
i dont see why people think the youngsters will improve so much from a few months ago.
jesus, what have they been drinking this summer that makes u improve significantly.
if anything, our best youngster (kane) wont score as many.
cant see mason improving dramatically. i think he is close to his best. decent squad player but wouldnt want him as a main starter.
rose improved hugely last seaaon. cant see him doing another big improvement or else he would probably be the best LB in the world!
bentaleb i can see improving a bit with each season. going to be amazing in a few years. i got high hopes for him.
lamela? we seem split on that. some think he will explode this season & tear it up.
i think he is so unsuited for the premiership & will never fit in. id take 10-15m if we could get it.
townsend? think he will always blow hot & cold. hit & miss.
so out of curiosity. which youngsters or players from last season do people think are going to improve SIGNIFICANTLY this season?
& do u really think kane will score even more? i dont.
& yes, i know in general with age they will all naturally improve slighlty anyway. but i mean significant improvements.
like im sure mason will be a tad more experienced in that position that isnt his favoured position. so he should be a bit positionally better at least. but i dont see him being significantly better.
i look foward to your significant replies.
i dont know if i mentioned significant yet?
