we don't know that , it doesn't work like that.

When Poyet took over a struggling side , you would of been on here saying 9 players needed 30 days etc etc

Wasn't like that. Players can step up in different circumstances

Under CH , playing exactly the same way then yes it looks like 3 ( and bare in mind we did actually survive ! )

The top tier works a bit differently.

If you don't spend, you get dismantled. Even if you think your squad is brilliant, you still spend. Our squad is not brilliant. More pressingly, our first 11 is not brilliant.

Apart from a RB, I think it will be a case of just replacing anybody we sell now.

Madness. Three players needed, categorically.

Reckon we'll go with that pitiful players-now-unshackled thing til the end of September and the first tranche of winnable games. Then, assuming no new goalscoring threat, an Autumn playing catch-up and a frantic January transfer window when the harsh reality has set in that we've not progressed at all.

TB will land us a proven goalscorer at around the £60m mark or on a free but with club busting wages!

Personally Potter will prove himself the greatest manager since Ferguson if he can get our one paced midfield and forwards to become dangerous and free scoring.
So midfield and striker an absolute must for me.

If TB doesn't do business in January, specifically THIS January, then he's a dick. The alternative - if we yet again fail to adress the enduring issue of signing credible strikers - is the short sharp shock of being dumped on his sorry arse back into the second tier. Which at the moment looks far more likely than not. IMHO, like.

And the pre-season friendlies have even started yet.

Really looking forwards to seeing the new strikers getting a run out. Oh.

"Oh" as in it's too late for them to get a run out in the friendlies? I didn't realise the season kicks off tomorrow!

"Oh" as in we don't have any. You're forgetting the other Benny cliche: "Time To Gel". They should be onboard by now and getting the look and feel of their team mates during the pre-season friendlies so as to be reasonably prepped for the start of the PL season.
