Ok, so given the depature of Keane yesterday i thought i'd take a look at our team and see whether we're in a stronger or weaker position that when we kicked off last season.
These are the players that have come and gone under Ramos.
GK
Robinson - OUT
Gomes - IN
RB
Chimbonda - OUT
Hutton - IN
Gunter - IN
LB
Gilberto - IN
CB
Woodgate - IN
RW
Routledge - OUT
Bostock - IN
CM
Tainio - OUT
Modric - IN
ST
Defoe - OUT
Keane - OUT
Dos Santos - IN
Also we can add O'Hara to that list, given it was Ramos who gave him the chance to turn into the squad member he now is.
To me that looks like a much stronger team, except for Keane's replacement who hasn't arrived yet.
So assuming we get a replacement for Keane (let's go with Arshavin for now given the strong ITK) we actually have a much better team going into this season than last IMO. :grin: And that's assuming we don't make anymore signings, which i'm pretty sure we will. :wink:
Just as a last note, i think Ramos and Gus will be able to get much more out of our players that Jol did. Just look at Hudd to see the difference a proper fitness regime can make.
COYS!!!!!
