Bruce Buck Promises Summer Of Big Spending

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

I couldnt care less if we buy a "superstar" or not. What matters is getting the right player to fit into the jigsaw.

I'm just waiting for Madrid to go tits up with their "Galacticos II". Having all the best players doesnt guarentee you anything in football.

When you look at our squad were not that bad off. Defensively we're sorted even if Bosingwa leaves. Mancienne and Ivanovic have both proved their capable of playing that position aswell as having Ferreira who can fill in at LB if need be and Belletti.

Midfield....again, not too bad. The only concern is Mikel and Essiens trip to the ACON, but within the squad we have quality players to fill in. Ballack, Belletti or even Ivanovic could play a holding role. Malouda has got his act together and we'll have Joe Cole returning. Stoch also could have a big part this season. From what I saw of him towards the end of last season he looks a cracking wee player.

Up front, Anelka has got a new lease of life and Drogba seems to be almost ready to commit himself for another few seasons. Di Santo as good as he's supposed to be, hasnt really done anything of purpose to have me believe he's the answer to our problem. Hopefully he can prove me wrong.

2 players minimum imo. One in midfield and one up front.

I still believe our current squad dicks on anyone else's in the EPL. Just need to bring in some youth.

Definately......Hiddink showed what we were capable of. If Ancelotti is able to channel things like Hiddink, we'll be in with a good chance of winning the title. Remember also, we had a half fit Drogba for most of the season. No Joe Cole and half a Malouda

A good summer programme and we'll be back as good as ever.

If I'm correct, the last time Joe Cole and Michael Essien both played in the same competitive game was the Champions League final. Can't wait to have both back to full fitness.

I agree with that, next year isnt what we should be looking at, but with an ageing squad it must be time to bring in some youngsters with good potential to build up for future seasons.

Both are very vital to our first team will take a load of drogba and lampard.

There is only 13 days gone in the transfer window, No need to hit the panic button yet.

Dont quite think our squad is as strong as man utds but our first 11 is definately stronger. I think we just need to improve our depth with quality, the likes of Pato and Aguero, Van Der Vaart, Zhirkov. Quality players that we can rotate.
