I think once our summer spending is done, there'll be the echo of a massive Meh.

I agree but I think we'll have a more balanced team and squad.

Agree with both, balance doesn't mean we will be great though.

I think Comolli aims to get quality in whatever position, and doesn't think of the team. If he sees a quality player that's good value he'll recommend him. I don't see anything wrong with this as long as we don't overload a certain position, which I don't think we'd do. United have two quality centre backs and it hasn't stopped them spending close to 30m on two more.

If quality players are available then we should get them. If we have a problem position, and there are no players out there worth buying, I'd prefer we buy no one, rather than getting a Pennant just to fill a gap.

Agree with every word of this post. Comolli's track record at Tottenham suggests that he doesn't buy players to improve a specific position. He simply goes after players who he thinks represent quality and long-term value and lets the coach figure out how to use those players. That's I am not surprised about our splashing money on a player who doesn't seem to address our squad's most pressing needs - I don't think Comolli is concerned about the near-term shape of the squad at all. I have no doubt that he will improve our squad long-term, but in any given season we might end up with a table that has 5 legs on one side, and only 1 on the other. Or a congested central midfield with little defensive bite and not enough wing options. We'll see. I think Kenny is a kind of manager who is flexible enough to make things work even if the squad is somewhat imbalanced, as long as he has talented and hungry players at his disposal. He reminds me of Hiddink in this respect. If Comolli worked with someone like Rafa (or Van Gaal, or Martin Jol, with whom he actually did have a misfortune to work) - forget it!

Still waiting fore that edge of the seat signing thats been promised for years. There's hardly an acceptable excuse now that we have dosh. However, it early days yet so I suppose patience is a virtue.
 
Rather have Sanchez and Mata for £60 million 🙂

Downing - 15mil
Adam - 8mil
Wickham - 10mil
Enrique - 7mil
Cahill - 15mil
Henderson - 19mil
Doni - 1mil

75mil and our team would be improved greatly with options all over the pitch

GK: Reina/Doni/Gulasci

RB: Johnson/Kelly/Flanagan
CB: Carragher/Skrtel/Agger/Cahill/Kelly/Ayala
LB: Enrique/Aurelio/Robinson

RM: Henderson/Kuyt/Downing/Maxi
CM: Gerrard/Meireles/Henderson/Lucas/Adam/Shelvey/Spearing
LM: Downing/Henderson/Maxi

ST: Carroll/Suarez/Wickham/Kuyt/Pacheco

Cant say id be too upset about that.

In saying that, obviously if we got these ones in i'd be much happier

Baines
Cahill
Mata
Hazard
Wickham
Henderson
