i think that it's WAY too early to be saying things like this mate. i think our squad had a lot of holes last summer and we've filled the majority of them - the signings overall haven't made the impact that we would have hoped but i think there are mitigating circumstances which can be used to explain away a huge part of that. how long do you personally think is a fair time to judge a new arrival? does a poor first season mean he's a failure or do you hold out hope of him improving in their second season? if the latter then it's only fair to allow the DoF the same time at a minimum before judging him on his recruitment policy. not strengthening LB is the only real problem i have with last summers transfer activity.
the way i see it the DoF is a long term role - and should be judged over a period of time a lot longer than one season.
i absolutely agree but there's no smoke without fire, and I have also heard that relations between Our Fearless Leader and Baldini have been strained for some time. Personally, I put it down to the fact that DL wants to have a DOF, wants to have someone else do transfers, but when it comes to it actually cannot help himself!!!! We shall see, but I fear another massive summer of transition!
