The last two windows gave been pretty sobering really. We’ve got shot of far more players than we’ve brought in, and yet we have done ok out on the pitch despite all the chaos leading into the season. The charges issued to Everton and Forest would indicate our evasive action on spending to have been wise?
I was just thinking back to Jeffs letter and his suggestion we would be much freer to spend this summer once FFP ****ed off? Presumably any spending that will take place will only start in July, but I just wondered what peoples expectations/feelings are on the summer? Are you feeling excited or setting expectations fairly low again?
Speaking to mates, I know quite a few who are excited and think we’ll be splashing out a bit. I know others who think we’ll be sold and that there will be much more upheaval than people think? Whatever happens I don’t imagine we will spend any more money than we generate through sales? Likely Neto, but perhaps also a few others?
Personally I wouldn’t be surprised if its a more frustrating summer than many people seem to be expecting and am setting my expectations accordingly? For sure we will sign some players, but we will also likely lose some very good ones too and our aim must be to improve the squad overall, not weaken it again. Not easy if we are running things tightly. That we didn’t spend this window just gone wasn’t hugely surprising, but people might be less forgiving of a slow and cautious summer ?
