After the end of last season and winning the treble, I thought this place would be positive and happier.
Instead, some posters on here are angrier and more negative than ever.
Increased success increases entitlement it would appear,at least from a certain element of our 'fan base'.
We have always had a minority strange fan base , always happy to moan regardless of what they see.After the end of last season and winning the treble, I thought this place would be positive and happier.

Totally agree, the only strange one was Rice, we made a bid that I am certain our execs knew would be rejected then simply walked, I am still not convinced that it was anything but mischief making in terms of forcing Arsenal to up the ante.The Paqueta situation is, admittedly, ridiculous. But completely out of our hands. Bellingham chose Madrid over us, which is fair enough, and the Rice interest always seemed a bit half hearted. I’d wait until the end of the window before casting judgement though.
Both would be fantastic long term signings but both raw and would need time.Wirtz would be ideal, but I think zero chance sadly. Him and Doku and we're all set to go
We could do with finding a creative version of Kovacic that could fit in quickly, and that is easier said than done.

There is a big reason why no top teams want him.
Spoiler Alert: "He's not good enough. Period".

But Ric waiting to see who we get just 12 days before the transfer deadline and two weeks into the season is a bit complacent and not something I associate with my club.
Winning a treble is once a generation or a century thing and a watershed moment for us. We could have gone full throttle replacing our aging players like we did in the second season of Pep.That was cut-throat & efficient and started a domestic legacy whose fruits we are still bearing till now.
In my honest opinion there is a chance to start a European legacy and I assumed Bellingham would be the star of that era along with Haaland. Transfer market is difficult and I wouldn't cast aspersions on a group that delivered us the lot but going to West Ham twice knowing their owner is kind of a time wasting naive move.
I see it differently. If after Bellingham we haven’t found the right fit then we have done the right thing to make sure our Plan B is a good fit. Going full throttle in the market and getting it wrong is how you run yourself outside of top 4 in 2-3 years time.But Ric waiting to see who we get just 12 days before the transfer deadline and two weeks into the season is a bit complacent and not something I associate with my club.

I’d sooner see us have a dip of form in 2023 and get next summer spot on and keep us challenging than waste money now. Long-term success is built making every decision a smart one.. It’s why nobody in here seems particularly worried about Chelsea.

I`m not angry, I`m concerned. We`ve lost a lot of potential goals and assists from the team with the departure of Gundog and FFS. Now the the injury to Kev and Cancelo acting the ****.
We haven`t as yet replaced those goals or assists even with the purchase of Kovacic and Gvardiol. Hopefully before the end of the window we will.
I`d like to think we all love this club like we do our families. They both give us much joy. I do think its natural to be concerned and wish the best for them.

You sound concerned ;-)
