Expensive signings wont happen this summer. Its all about consolidation this season and if we comfortably achieve a CL spot by next summer...
I found this excerpt particularly interesting because I'm reading the word "consolidation" an awful lot this Summer and as
you speak with such certainty; I'd like to pick your brains Vicks.
When you say "it's
all about consolidation this season"; is that because you believe that "consolidation" is as much as we can hope for with the signings we have made?
I mean: if you (or anyone for that matter) honestly believed that our new players were better, than what got us to within a whisker of the title last season, then surely "consolidation" is a given and doesn't even need to be mentioned.
I see to you quote Brendan -
"Our signings are strategic. They are not just names. They all fit into the purpose of the team. The character is important. It is not just about the player, but the right type of person"...
Do
you believe that, when Brendan said this ^^^, he was ruling out "expensive signings" [I'm not sure what qualifies as an "expensive signing" anymore: I guess it's all relative - £7m is expensive for a flop: £25m inexpensive for a success]: or was he just saying that the player needs be the right type; the right fit; with no mention of cost?
Anyhow back to "consolidation"...
Would it be any less possible for us to achieve the goal of consolidation [not much of a "goal" (IMO) but there you go] with the players we've already signed
and Arturo Vidal
for e.g.? And then er... maybe... "next Summer... splash the cash" on
another "big signing"?
So the mob which want expensive superstars will be left disappointed, this summer at least
Mob? Hmm...
