we've become a selling club.
Yanks Out !
[/quote]Exactly mate.
Im not buzzing now.
Given we had signed Suarez (or so im told) and he wasnt a replacement for Torres.
That basically means today we have traded Fernando Torres for Andy Carroll and the yanks have pocketed 15m notes.

You're not being serious surely.
[/quote]A bit.
I think that potentially we had the ability to blow up today and maybe i over-believed but the signings of Young, Adam, Suarez and Carroll would have been a massive statement.
What we have done is sold one of the best strikers in the world (and another forward) and signed an unproven striker and a youngster. And failed totally to address any of the issues we had before hand, ie-LB, CB, DM, LM, RM. So with a bit of smoke and mirrors its looking like a WOW we broke our transfer record TWICE, but in reality its a bit SAAAAAYYYYY these just regular crackers.

Oncy and I are as one on this.

Things wont change overnight. We had massive problems up front and striking cover was a definite priority for me anyway. When Torres went a replacement was. I genuinely feel we're on the road to recovery though - and without Torres. We should have had Adam as well if Oyston wasn't such a greedy tool. BUT it's the most positive I've felt in a long while and I think Suarez, which people have kind of forgotten about in the chaous, is going to awesomeness. A la Tevez
