Well his injury might delay things. Arsenal are buying one of their young centre backs for £16m and there are a fair few clubs sniffing around Schneiderlin (sp?), who looks a cracking player to me. Going in the other direction, they might be buying Virgil Van Dijk and Ron Vlaar.

Because our squads are currently of a similar size? :rolleyes:

Burnley got tonked by us in August last year:thumbsup:

You're contradicting yourself: it will be hard to defend the club in five weeks IF there aren't four decent signings/season-long loans, even better if most -- if not all -- are there for the start of the season. For the moment, we have to wait; if you don't, you're -- and this is the first time...

That's a fair point and, no, I'm not disagreeing with it. We shall know what materialises by the start of September. I will be deeply pessimistic if we don't get decent additions by then. As indicated, and as you seem to be agreeing with, four decent signings or season-long loans is what we want.

You are being way too pessimistic. I'm hoping to see quality signings or season-long loans for: striker; left back (Ward); goalkeeper; wide attacking player (Lingard) -- in that order of priority. I'd much rather we had four quality additions, than six that are less so. Then we can give those...

Think you're right. Ulloa replacement and Ward are the priorities. Then a goalkeeper and then, hopefully, Lingard on a season-long loan, or another attacking midfield player.
