(especially if it is a player who is in demand), arguing the toss over a few million is not worth it in the grand scheme of things, we need 3(?) players, co and get them and if they cost you an extra £5-10m in total then so be it. Better to do that than say our squad is good enough to challenge for the title, it wasn't good enough last season so no way is it good enough now

[Rich]

are. We're trying to get 4th place which is something we should be proud of if we do it again this year.

[redgunamo]

of purchase you make in January when you are struggling to make the top four. And your club is owned by the Gambino family.

[Pokster]

we should give up now. 4th is a minimum, not a target. We should be aiming higher and trying to improve, and we certainly have not improved since last season

[Pokster]

and so far, he has failed to get close to him.... tick tock

[redgunamo]

this generally serves us well.

[Ciaran]

Agreed. If the sole aim is 4th (which I believe it is), then the club should lower the ticket prices. We are not getting VFM. I have already stopped going to Grade A games. Sign some Grade A players.

[Red N White Army]

Some. Last season we had 3 new 1st teamers. You'd like to think that they will improve now they have bedded in and all had time to gel properly. The back end of last season certainly indicated that, even if we had to sacrifice some creativity for defensive solidity.
