Well I'll be expecting a bit of criticism following this post so you can take some solace in the fact you'll not be the only one having to take cover mate
So here goes......
There is NO excuse whatsoever for not strengthening further whether players go out or not and if Lenny is being told to sell before he can buy then that's a major worry! The money is there to strengthen but more importantly the NEED is there and if Lawell and the board fail to do so then it's negligent in the extreme, especially when the resources are there!
When we're playing a CB at RB, a CM at CB and have no adequate cover/replacement for a guy still trying to find his feet at LB then further signings are not a luxury they're a necessity. Lenny also sees the need for another striker and I would say there is a need for another CM enforcer type for away ties in Europe, where we may have to double up on that front to combat better quality teams who will put us under the cosh, so to make further signings dependent on others leaving would be folly and an act of self-harm.
We're going to be stretched this season one way or another with the amount of games we'll play and the inevitable injuries we'll rack up so if we're not careful we may end up having to rely on a patched up team with players playing out of position fighting on multiple fronts and if that happens we're leaving ourselves wide open when there is absolutely no need for it.
The money is there, the need is there, the question is......Is the will there?
