Buoanatte may suprise you looks very decent to me and similar to simons as a player, whatever you think the sd's have done a Good job, just chill!, we are now looking a very strong team with a lot of unity, maresca knows what he's doing so trust in the process we are growing into a very decent team soon to be challenging for all the top honours again, don't forget we are the club world champions, so come on get behind the boys good times ahead for sure, as Tomb says come on my mighty blues.

considering he couldn't hold a place in the foxes team last season id say hel far from surprise us, wev allowed another pl team to strengthe by letting spurs get simmons, i must say spurs are looking good under franck
anyway i hope he does turn out to be a good squad player for us and prove us all wrong.

Eddie I also think the sporting directors by and large have done a good job.
Our squad is getting better and deeper in quality no doubt, there will be bumps in the road but going in the right direction.
The one mistake is the keeper position hope Sanchez proves me wrong.

Seymns, I generally agree with most of your posts but I have a slightly different view of the work of our SDs. On the positive side, the signings of Pedro, Estavou and Delap are in my view very good. As for Hato, hard to say as he has had very few minutes. The other signings Paez etc have been loaned out or will be primarily squad players.
On the negative side, the failure to address the GK situation and also failing to bring in a top class CB will cost us. Also the signings of Garnacho and a Brighton player who couldn’t get regular starts in the Championship is bizarre. I worry about Gittens. Is he just another young English player who goes to the German league and builds a reputation similar to Sancho. Speaking of Sancho, remember he was offered a permanent contract by the SDs. Fortunately for us, his greed and misguided belief in his ability led to him to rejecting the offer. So, I would give the SDs a generous 5 out of 10.

Poch, I hate to say it but I agree with you about Spurs. They have a good coach and have strengthened in the right areas. I would say they are a good bet for top six.

Jimbo , I agree with most of your last post
re the positives are excellent Delap Pedro and Estevao and I expect Hato to be good
re the negatives the goalkeeper situation is bizarre can only think they are keeping Sanchez until Penders is ready, also not a fan of Garnacho but there is talent in there.
Think the Brighton loanee is just there to make up the numbers for domestic cup games and be a friend for Garnacho .
I too slightly worry about Gittens, to end on a positive think we have sold well balanced the books more or less and have a better squad than when the window opened.

Seymns. I think you’re right about the club waiting for Penders. I haven’t seen him play but I have been watching clips ; his passing looks first class and he comes across as very athletic and poised. I will try to watch some French football this season. I hope we bring him to the Bridge next season.
