Its about like people who say "X team have not improved". There is no data to go on at the moment |

Can you only improve by buying players?

But completely unlike people who say other teams have not strengthened their defence by buying players - they are based in fact.
There are many factors that go in improving certain areas of play. Buying or not buying players has nothing to do with it. This is not FIFA 2015 where you "buy" players and just stick them into the team. |

How else are you meant to? Come on this is rule one of "football according to the media". If there was any other way Sky Sports and the red tops would have nothing to report on during the transfer window. |

Indeed, the apparent disregard for other factors seems odd. Obviously signings are the most instant in terms of impact but if a club has injuries or feels they have the personnel already developing then of course they can improve without new signings.
Certainly as you say its going to take more than 90mins to form any opinions. You could say our defence at times last season was improved by bring back one of the best strikers of recent premiership history. Its fine having views about how teams have or have not improved but without any data those views are about as relevant as my mum's who would not know which one was which out of Frank Lampard and Andy Cole. To gain an opinion you need data. At the moment we have very very little information. |

This LB we're supposed to be signing.......is he good enough to start right now? (at £17m I would have thought so, but who even knows nowadays?) I was hoping this summer would have been the time we start looking to replace Ivanovic at RB, but making him VC that seems unlikely now. Just think he's not that good anymore, and we already have the superior Azpilicueta to swtich sides. A first choice LB would be a priority for me.

Can't really see the point as to why we got rid of Bertrand. Was probably the best English left back last season and now we have splashed a load of cash on a bit of an unknown.

We have the best youth team in Europe now, but that means jack if they're never going to get a good run in the first team squad. How can these Euro champs not be of more use to us than tired old cart horses like Mikel and Ramires

One question over this Eva situation, if she is banned, as there are some suggestions that she might be, then who have you got to come in, and to try and look after any of your injured players during a match?
