Sign 2 mid players solves nothing
Its beyond frustrating and beyond embarrassing at this stage. Chelsea and Man United continue to buy players for big money while we sit and do nothing. We lose one of our greatest players ever and aren't signing anyone. We lose our most creative player to an ACL injury and don't seem to have any plan on what to do. Has Lange even created a list yet? Its a joke the whole thing!
Don't think big on the pitch do they?
Timo is starting to look like prime steak at the moment
These are desperate times, this is Frazier Campbell replacing Berbatov and Keane stuff.
Could be one of those Januarys where we have to sign 4 or 5 to try and stay up

Its horrific mate. Especially when clubs like United and Chelsea are investing heavily in players we should want! I don't give us a prayer of making top 4 this year. Not a chance. So that means any players who do step up and have a big season for us will want to leave because they'll want champions league football.
There is zero ambition. Its the same cycle of shite over and over again.
I wouldn't put it past us at this rate. That 60m we bid on MGW has gone missing anyway. All we are doing is looking to loan old players or buy cheap young players.
My expectations have never been lower going into a prem season since pre-Redknapp.
I always gave us a chance of top 4 and would have expected top 7 ever since then. This year just feels different. The gap between us and the big 3 is wider than ever. The gap between us and Woolwich is the biggest its been since their last title win. We've made no effort to close the gap with Villa and Newcastle. And we've allowed Man United to move right past us again and into the sunset.
We are comfortably behind 7 teams in the league now. We might well be the best of the rest but its probably more likely we finish behind a team like Brighton or Palace than we are to finish ahead of any of the 7 above us. This is the worst I can remember it since the 2000s.

I guarantee we buy two more average £30m players instead of one good £60m player with that money. Probably on a loan with obligation to buy.
We are looking at 8th-10th place finish, not tbe challenge for the big stuff that Levy claimed.
We had an amazing pre-season before Redknapp. Bent looked like the second coming!
Then 2 points from 8 games
They're more than capable of replacing the version of Son that just left.
Let's be serious, he was well past his best. 16 goal involvements in the PL over 2,116 minutes.
27 the season before.
16 in 22/23
30 in 21/22
27
21
I don't see why Tel and Odobert, if they rotate, can't put up 15+ G/A's between them. Son was being overplayed and had 2-3 thousand minutes in each of the last few seasons, probably contributing to his lethargic, frustrating displays at times.
4 clubs are miles ahead of us. Forget them.
In my opinion, and inexplicably United,are possibly now ar the front of the next 4, which includes us at 8. Villa at 6, and Newcastle because of the Isak situation at 7.
That is not to dismiss the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth et al,but the top 4 seems nailed on to me, then 5th to 10th should include the 4 teams in batch B.
We need 2 or 3 real quality signings to get anywhere near the top 4, and even then.....

True, I agree. Was just stating my best choice of a bad bunch that we seem to be looking at.
