Tom, I would have made sure that I had a contingency for not getting my number one target, we didn t even get number 2 or 3. We were caught napping, why didn t we go for Tuncay? Why did Gudjohnsen decide to go to Monaco on loan rather than UP? What about

Tom, I would have made sure that I had a contingency for not getting my number one target, we didn't even get number 2 or 3.

We were caught napping, why didn't we go for Tuncay? Why did Gudjohnsen decide to go to Monaco on loan rather than UP?

What about Toni, Balotelli, Mancini? How about Beckford at Leeds etc

I am all for bringing our players through but we are potentially looking to them to make the difference, and to lead the line, if Cole gets injured, and that is unfair, irresponsible and could have been avoided.

Not many players around at all that won't have a certain amount of the mercenary about them but is that their fault or what the business of football has allowed them to become?

We have not put ourselves in a good position to kick on and I will be surprised (happily believe me because I have supported this club all my life) if we finish in the top half given what other clubs have spent and where.

I do hope I am wrong but I am struggling to see where the goals are going to come from, and we are going to have to keep an awful lot of clean sheets, so we go and sell one of our best defenders.

I just want this club to be talked about positively for a change and for us to realise the potential the club has. Why must we settle for second best when we deserve the best.
