I'm sure everybody will tell me yes they are - but -and it's only a hesitant 'but' -I'll reserve any judgements until December and the end of the year.
Silva? Kun?

Like you, I'll reserve judgement about the buys once I take my seat at the start of the new season and see how it pans out.

Same goes for me, although I have heard good reviews about these two from people who do follow European football. Youtube videos are misleading so we will have to trust that the powers that be, know what they are doing. One thing was obvious from last season though, and that is that we needed a good wide player and a more mobile defensive midfielder. We have hopefully got them now. Now for someone with the killer instinct in front of goal and roll on august.
A bit different to last summer, eh?SuperYaya said:Feels great to tie up two big signings early on rather than arsing about until it's already near the start of the season.
