Firstly and most importantly to start off I want to stress that I'm not a Levy hater..infact I am conscious that in Daniel Levy we have one of the more astute and forward thinking chairman in PL football. However I do have an issue..and that is with our transfer strategy over recent years.
Where do I begin on this? I'll summarise, firstly we are a selling club...never gonna push on and cement that top 4 when we sell our best players..regardless of fees...it's sends the wrong message to our playing staff and other teams. Secondly..the fact manager after manager have come in and stated that our squad is unbalanced..for Christ sakes us fans can see we are too overloaded in midfield..don't have the quality in defence or the depth up front, if we can see it..why can't our manager(s) sort this out. I have seen us this summer bring in a couple of decent signings including the token 'but for the future types' and around us clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton have made significant improvements. I don't wanna go into the failings of last summers signings..but believe in order for us to be a top 4 club we need a squad of top 4 quality..we don't have that. We have a spattering of top quality, and too much dead wood. I'm hopeful of Poch, and the next couple of weeks, but seriously think our transfer strategy to date has been negligible.
