Hmm Im confused now..I think Kuyt signed a new contract before the takeover.
Was it under Rafa or Roy? not too sure about that.

My point remains, I just cant see the coherence in our owners policy...

Its understandable you want to get rid of your big earners, especially if they're not playing. Its not to pay a fortune for Carroll, Henderson, Adam and so on

Neither. It was under Kenny. Are you also saying Dirk is average and unproven ?
[/quote]
Ok my mistake.
My opinion about Dirk is the same as Vlad's... 😉

still confident of winning the league?

Anyway, what are your thoughts on the subject Neil ? Come on cards on table time. ;D
[/quote]

my opinion hasn't changed, I think we can and will challenge for top 4. I think the new signings will help up better compete away from home, downing and henderson to provide width and carroll to hold up the ball. once in a top 4 position we'll be in a better position to attract top talent which will give us a better chance of challenging for the league.

only the acquisition of several truly quality players would give me the confidence to believe we'd challenge for the league, the players we've purchased are giving us balance and depth to challenge for top 4 and no more.
[/quote]

I understand your thinking. However, if we're challenging for the top four I also expect us to be challenging for the top spot. Squad depth is what we've suffered from for years and that will improve. I do agree that a few quality exciting players can only help the cause.

if we're challenging for top 4 then it naturally follows we'll be in a position to challenge for the league? I disagree I think there will be a big gap between the top 2 (chelsea and manu) and 3rd/4th.
 
I wouldn't make any assumptions yet Neil. It's clear Chelsea and United are intent on a bit of rebuilding of their own this Summer, which is always unpredictable, even if in the longterm it serves them well, interuption in the meantime shouldn't be ruled out. Arsenal have issues, so do City, while Spurs are reportedly short of money this Summer and have to sell to buy big. There's a long way to go and anything can happen.

This is the exact reason why I'm frustrated.

This is the first time in years I truly believe we have the manager to bring us 19, and who'll lead us charging into Europe. But it is CRUCIAL we get our transfers right, and thus far it's been a bit disappointing. Having said that I still have faith the next 2 months will see some real quality brought in. And I still believe 19 is ours next year.

(Hopefully this will silence the rumblings from these inexperienced soldiers, who fail to see the Colonel's rumblings as war-weary recognition of mistakes possibly being made)

Yeah. Kenny is the magic ingredient for me. We've already scored our marquis signing.

Ha.

Seriously though, the belief that we'll win the league next year, is pretty much on a par with the belief that there's an omnipotent being who built the world in seven days and lives in the sky.

In fact, if we win the league next year, I'm off to church.
