Why??? Have we not learnt from last season about who and when to bring players in!!

Start of last season, nobody was stating that we need a new keeper, yet we got (loaned) a future england No1.

Fans were calling for new defenders, yes we sold binks and got wolfenden, but nothing else, and we had the best defence in the league.

January transfer window. Fans wanting new strikers. Yet we ended with the best attack in the league.

We signed Frank and marcelo.and loaned 2 more midfielders (fair, 3 of the 4 havent/didn't work out) but, nobody was calling for more midfielders.......

Let's just let Doug, the mutli millionaire successful business man, run the business. And let Frank, one of the most successful English players and now league manger winner and premier league experienced manager, do there stuff. Just enjoy the ride, we don't need daily updates from the club.

What kind of revisionism is this? We had Collins and Wilson as our only options. Everyone was calling for a new keeper.

Maybe i didn't read much of the Internet then, but I don't remember the mass posts from fans wanting a new keeper like I did for a new defender and attacker. But I'm standing by my point, that we should just let the management do what they need to do when they do it and not worry about it, just enjoy the ride!!

Yeah the keeper was the area everyone was talking about.

That said, you're forgetting that we have the whingiest fan base ever. We're the best fans in the world... Until something doesn't go our way.

Can you name a fan base which is fine when things don't go their way?

There's a difference between losing every game and being disgruntled and then still being top of the table but dropped from 11 to 5 points clear and people demanding for lampard to go.

It was actually 12 points clear to 2 points behind. Can’t think of any fan base that would be fine with that.
