:lol: Full title, I like it
To be honest mate, I'm even jealous of Swansea who are able to spend money. It's a pi$$ take what's going on at Goodison but Kenwright/Elstone and co don't seem to want to bother themselves, I'm fed up of the $hite they serve us every summer but we're used to it by now.
Well I suppose you'll get that, it does seem an improvement on what you've had but whether Downing signs for you, United or any other club I'd be saying the same to be honest I've never liked him since he was the big thing at Boro, he's never been wonderful, not full of pace, struggles to beat a full back. Given space he can deliver a half decent ball but if I was a City, United, Arsenal or Chelsea fan your signings up to now wouldn't worry me. Adam had a good season in an extremely poor side last season, I can't see him doing it again. He'll score a few goals and get a few assists but he's a slightly better than average player, he'll been shown up for it next season.
Now if someone like Mata came in then it'd be an eye opener. Quality player, think he'll got really well over here too. If he comes over here whoever gets him will have a top quality player, I'd guess he'd want Champions League football if he gets the offer though.
We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one mate, each to their own. I s'pose the bottom line of what i'm trying to say is: these players aren't fantastically brilliant/world class, however they'll do a successful job for us in their posistions.
Meireles is rumoured as to be leaving this window, so I find it very interesting as to who will fit in where in centre-midfield. Obviously, Gerrard will start and I think Lucas too for his short, direct passing game. I just wonder who Kenny' prefered other man will be if that's the case: Adam, Henderson or Aquilani (?) I reckon will go with 4-3-3 this year with Downing-Carrol-Suarez up top.
