Are we dining at the top table or not?

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

This isn't a rant at the club in any shape or form so please bare with me.
I sit at home tonight a little confused about the past 48hrs and our policy for the coming season.
Now don't get me wrong,I am happy with the signings we have made however I feel that we are risking losing a great chance of defending the title by letting Negredo go without a replacement.
Has Financial Fair play really stopped us this window. Not sure of the figures but haven't we still got 20-25 million from the 49 left??

We are supposed to be one of the big boys now but the last 48 hrs have left me a little confused,concerned and hoping we are not shooting ourselves in the foot and in reality just playing along to the fair play tune.

Don't worry, we'll blow the lot in January or next Summer.

Although our business is professional, it's really underwhelming. Suppose I'd rather have a settled squad though.

Not a go at you SHB, but 'dining at the top table' is the worst football-related saying on this forum.

I'm really not fussed about Jan or summer bud. I am worried about now.
This is the season as we all know that is the one. Win it and we go pot 1 (if reports are to be believed)
I just feel like we are puppets to that **** Platini and Gill and there is fuck all our great club can do about it.
Seen the shit times as we all have but tonight feels a bit like one of those days.
Gonna hit the feather. Had a shit shit day at work with those horrible fucking rag cunts so think it has gotten to me which is why I dont understand the club for not replacing the beast.It's not like we can't afford it!!!

We did what we had to do this window. The only disappointment is not replacing Negredo, that could come back to bite us if Sergio or Stevan get injured.

Maybe pal,but you must know where I am coming from. We should be signing a replacement mate yet we are not. If one of our 3 gets injured which is quite possible then we are expecting 2 to play 2-3 games per week. I am confused rather than angry mate.

First, think of this as a school, just because a spoilt brat gets bought everything by his mummy doesn't make him the cleverest kid in the school. He might have the brightest coloured footy boots on, the newest third Champs League kit (bad example really) and a lovely bag to put them all in but when he gets on the pitch and falls flat on his face everyone laughs at him.

Second, well there isn't a second. We have a settled well balanced squad that has two class players in each position. We do not need to buy pointy eared gollums or south americans with pig testies in his knee just to pretend we are good.

We managed quite well last year with just two strikers for the best part of it.
