Well said mate I agree with everything you have said - I have said for two years we need a world class centre back and as good as Fabregas may be and however reasonable the price we need to prioritise - Fernando Sagna and a quality back up keeper are the most important signings we can make this summer. Anything else is a bonus.

All very well if we just want to stagnate or improve only slightly. But as Chelsea weren't that far behind and have signed players which will improve them hugely we should be aiming for more ambitious transfer targets.

It's analogous to having won a car race, beating an opponent with the same make a model, say a Focus, but only by a few seconds, then they go out and upgrade to a Ferrari, while you just get new brake pads and an air filter.

Missing out on Febregas to a rival is as bad as doing nothing in summer 2012 and letting the rags get van Persie.

I can see a lot of posters in the various threads flapping as usual and some of them have a real wiff of ragginess about their posts. Seems the major talking point is Chelsea and their targets and the fact they seem to be getting them in early. IMO I ain't that bothered as long as we get the right players, for the job needed. We have an almost perfectly balanced squad and although it is always tempting to get carried away with the likes of Fabregas type players I am confident that who we will bring in will be the real deal for us.

Chelsea should be stronger, Liverpool and the rags too. I also suspect Arsenal and the rest of the teams will aim to strengthen as well. I don't give a toss because we don't need a wholesale change just some tinkering and when the transfer window is over I suspect this years squad will be stronger and more able to compete than last years.

Have a little faith in our management.

I have a funny feeling our transfer plans have been blown well and truly off course.

I think we certainly are finding it tricky at the minute! Khaldhoon still seemed very confident though and very forceful that what the team needed it would get. Of all the summers to get a punishment it's this one and I wonder if its gone through the mind of the board to just pay the fine and get the players we want?!

I don't think it is the money, I believe we have been hit with a triple whammy which I am not certain even Khaldoon was aware when he gave the interview.
