I think some of the talk of marquee signings is wide of the mark (just my opinion) but they know they will be judged (fairly or otherwise) by what they do in January. If at the end of the month we haven't notably improved the squad then there will be a lot of questions about whether a) they are fur coat and no knickers or b) no-one wants to come.

They have stoked the fire on this one so you have to assume they are confident they will actually be able to pull off some decent sigings.

Personally I think we need 1-2 CBs, a CM and a striker (yes more would be good but they are the minimum for me to see it as a statement window).

I'd be very happy with players of the ilk of Tarkowski, Trippier, Lingard, etc that have been linked. I just don't see some of the pipedream names others are talking about.

They'll get one or two it's all about money no matter what the doom mongers journalists and pundits think.

To be fair, I think it’s mainly us stoking our own fires…. I do ‘expect’ great improvements, but nobody at the club has told me Vlahovic and Dembele are coming.

Also I've noted that on that statement they've done absolutely nothing to temper expectations

I don't think being realistic is the same as being a doom monger. Even Staveley has said that growth will be gradual and organic. We aren't in a position to attract the very best yet and, as I said on another thread, that isn't particularly what we need at the minute anyway. WE need to makle sure we get in players with the right qualities and not just those looking for a big pay day.

I mean ffs we had fans saying Hayden was class and Joelinton was useless.

They can't see a good player unless it's rammed right in front of them.. They ignore the other players around then and see the obvious.

He had ability it was there to see
