This Summer's Window (Poll Included)

[tomd2103]

I think there is a big difference this time in that the plan seems to have come first and players have been picked to fit. Last summer I believe we signed decent players but with no plan on how we wanted to get the most out of them. After that we spent a couple of months changing shape and systems until Tim got put out of his misery.

I think the problem last summer was that we lost the spine of the team in Vlaar, Delph  and Benteke (would probably add Cleverley from the end of the previous season as well) and didn't replace that spine.  A lot of the money this summer has gone into that spine of the side and it looks much stronger.

Very interesting point of view KG, I have similar reservations but give credit to the intent shown to radically change the team and hopefully attitude.
I think we should have cashed in on Ayew as I can only see trouble ahead, the Goalkeeper is the biggest gamble.
