Is it me, or does the whole club just stink at the moment ? We lost our best player in a generation, and in all, honesty replaced with a bunch of average players with little heart in the club. We have let go of our English core (admittedly, at the right time in their careers), but not replaced.
Watching us last night, we could have a moan about certain players, tactics, style of football, etc, but we seem completely bereft of passion. It has almost become a chore to watch us.
We seem to be treading water with the level of investment by our owners (lowest net spend over 5 years). The players brought in this summer all seem 'ok' but not ones that amaze or grab you. Should we not go back to basics from 2004/5/6/7 and start buying young British players again ?
In all honesty, whether we think Poch is the right man or not (I would have gone for De Boer), he has one hell of a job on. To me, the portents are not good.
