I must be in the minority but I think our last summer transfers are exactly the same as they were 5 or so previous summers and I can't see any direction whatsoever apart from nationality. We have signed an overpriced defender who was supposed to be good with the ball but turned out to be not so much, right back who is great defensively but makes Valencia look like Messi when going forward and a young winger from the Championship for £15m who is our very own Theo Walcott. I don't really know what direction we are going in to be honest.
Doom and gloom, for the sake of doom and gloom.. ITS BORING. You're not in the minority, though. So don't worry.
There is clearly some sort of identity process Ole is working on which is at least something positive from the past 6 years of buying players, we all knew it was never going to be a quick fix yet we sit in 5th, 5 off 4th and i for one wasn't expecting a top 4 finish this season. Im relatively happy with how things are going because i have patience, i.e, the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. We could do a lot more of that on here!
