Ive been sitting back and trying find out what I can about our new boss, and even now im still not that clear as to what to expect from this coming season. We look to have got a couple of interesting new players yet nothing out of this world and mind blowing. We are still yet to see some big movements in what better players decide/told to leave once he gets to work with the team, this will have a big impact of how things will turn out and also give us a better idea of how the new boss will try to take the team forward.
At least there has been major changes with the other top 2 teams, giving us a good chance to keep up while he gets to grips with the prem and then who knows. A fantastic help is the keeping of Kid, he should help no end and I actualy think its a very good decision.
Im looking forward to the new season of course but I cant say that im excited like I was at the start of last year, well that may not be a bad thing looking at how it turned out.
It's funny how people view the same situation from a different angle and then draw different conclusions Mate. Unlike you, I was very underwhelmed at our performance in the transfer window last summer and while our two nearest rivals strengthened their squads that had an immediacy of improvement for them, our buys didn't. We also lost de Jong and I considered us to be a weaker squad. My expectation, unlike others was roughly around what we eventually got.
Though you are underwhelmed this summer, can I remind you that the mind blowing players who are out of this world are not always the ones that are what you need. Teams, not players win games and trophies and often it is those lesser, little cog, that do the jobs we need and make the difference.
Unlike last summer, this summer I am far more excited about our chances and fully expect us to regain our title.
