Sotchegg I think you misunderstood the point I was trying to make. I was talking about what we know about the owners plans no specifically what has happened during this transfer window. I take your point though regarding the spend that the club has made in terms of fees, i just wonder how it has been financed. I also take your point about the likes of Cadden and Evans they probably would make good loans and would be icing on a cake that already was finished (although I would still prefer us to have some players we own as backup). It is a positive we haven't sold anyone major (yet!) personally I think we should be aiming to sell one player a year for decent money to balance the books (replacements should be in place though). As for the youth players being ready to step up we shall see (I think any injuries and we will find out). KR sure is ambitious with his attempts at signing I just wonder sometimes if he is not a little too ambitious to the extent when plans do not pan out the team suffers.
At the end of the day we shall see what happens in the first few weeks of the season. No matter how easy you think the league will be we have on paper a tough start. Last season I expressed my concern with the way our preparations for the season went and I was proved sadly correct. I really hope the next 2 weeks bring in some amazing signings that transform us and allow us to hit the ground running, and that any concerns regarding our preseason I had were proved wrong (although I will still have concerns about the way our owners run the club and would suggest that until we find more out about their plans we all do). We don't have long to wait to find out.
