Guys I have the utmost faith in VP but he won't save us on a shoestring. We have downgraded both Wing Backs and bought 2 for 10-15 mil who are not proven. Fer Larson another one who couldn't get regular minutes at his previous club, unproven. What is going on at OUR beloved club. Arias looks quality, but that's about it. So disheartened at the minute, no doubt we will panic buy on Transfer day and bring 3 in at the same prices.

I think many share your concerns Kenzie but can VP pull it out of the fire for a second time but with arguably a less talented and Premier League experienced squad?
I'm just as confused by what Fosun are doing as I am by those that seem to approve of it. Time will tell as he hopefully and progressively get's a tune out of them, if not, game over.

Until recently I was convinced we would do enough in the window to get the quality we need combined with what we have to compete this season.
Seeing us against Citeh has changed this. With a couple of signings we will have the quality to compete, but the squad is missing leaders and experience of this league.
Matt Doherty has loads of experience, but isn't in the same mould of say, Coady or Dawson. There needs to be a calming influence on and off the pitch to keep heads up when things go wrong.
Unless the next few in have experience of this league I worry that we have a squad that is too good to go down but does. If the stories of who we are looking at are true then I'd be surprised if we're not the squad with the fewest appearances in the league and have one of the least experienced captains. We need players that can represent the coach on the pitch, encourage, berate and change things on the fly as well as explaining the coaches philosophy in thedressing room.
I hope VP works his magic and he proves me wrong as I now think we're in for a long fretful season
