OK, Westwood replaced mig as number one. Manone replaced Westwood as back up.
Dossena isn't replacing anyone, we don't own a LB.
Cabral was at the club when Alfie was.
Finally Borini is a pacy strong out and out striker and Sess was an AM/Winger. Completely different payers in different positions.

The symantics matter little, those 4 players played for us last season. They will not be playing for us this season. We have had all summer to replace them with better players. In my opinion we have not done that.
 
Dossena reinforced that he was committed to the club and explained that he was having difficulties adjusting because the pace of English football was significantly different from what he had experienced in Serie A.

Quote above from Dossena when he played at Liverpool. I see Colback keeping the LB slot for a while.

I got your point Lostinvegas, but equally it could be said that Altidore is a replacement for Sessegnon. We couldn't do anything about Mignolet, he was for me the best keeper in the league last season and was always going to move on to bigger things. Rose simply wasn't our player anyhow, once again even though its a problem of our own making there's not much PDC could do about it.

Well it does because it's the backbone of your point.

I said earlier that I think he's come in as back up for Colback.
 
The more you look at our signings, it quantity over quality.

Even Ki's stats are ****e, 0 goals and 1 assist for Swansea, is he really the man to un-lock defenses?

Ander Herrera's stats are 1 goals and 2 assists...not much better but United apparently prepared to offer 25 million. As it happens, don't like the look of that Herrera

No its not, my point is we have not replaced the players who played for us last season with better players.

It seems a few others agree with me.

I have never even heard of this guy Man U are after and they are apparently forking out £30M, sheer desperation by moyes, missed out big time with Ozil and Fellaini aint going to win them the league.
 
Boooooooooooooom!

I get your point but half of what you said was not factual, story of the day on here.

Didn't know you were keeping score on your kudos like, just checked back and it's 2-3 against you on your replacement theory.

Gerrin! Hope we pull this off. He was top of my list for today. Would have to be a permanent signing too.

If they're spanish and play short passes everyone thinks they're brilliant. I'm afraid Iniesta, Isco, Xavi and the other top spanish players are so, so much more than a few short passes. This Herrera looks very limited to me, but i've seen very little and stand to be proven wrong

I don't have a clue what you are talking about now. I did not quote any facts I gave an opinion "To me that is not replacing what we had with better"

I am allowed one, your allowed to disagree, now lets get back to the the subject in hand.
 
Lads that's it See will go the West Brom. We will get Borini and this LB from Napoli and that will be it.

Don't get your hopes up as that will be that mark my words.

I am very disappointed. PDC is going to have to work wonders. If were in the bottom 3 by mid December he will get the sack and then I can see us getting someone terrible just like the Howard Wilkinson appointment.

I will support the club but I see trouble ahead.

Gone: Rose, Sess, N'Daiye, Migg, (4 of our 5 best players last season). Replaced with: Dossena, Borini, Cabral, Manone.

To me that is not replacing what we had with better. Its very worrying.

Rose replacement is Colback. Sess replacement is Altidore. N'Daiye replacement is Cabral? and Migs replacement is Westwood. We've also added Giaccherini and Celstka which have improved the first 11, possibly one of the new centre backs have improved us too.
