Call me easily pleased but, I was dead chuffed after our intake last summer.  I really liked Samaras and thought Gamboa a great prospect.  Just look how it all turned out!  There's just no guarantees but i do hope we get a few "big" acquisitions (in our terms) to add to the new season's excitement.

While Billy Jones and McAuley were met with a meltdown because we showed no ambition...

Yeah both was met with very mixed views but to be fair a lot of these bargains paid off during the Ashworth era with the great scouting system everyone we brought in seemed to work out well but not one has worked in the last two seasons apart from the two highly experienced pair Lescott & Fletcher so not sure we can use the Jones,McAuley,Odemwingie argument now
Hopefully the revamped scouting system and TP can make a better fist of it!
