So you are saying that we should have made signings by now, but those of us that wanted the signings done before now we're stupid for wanting them done weeks back?
I'm confused
International window was open in June by the way. And Klopp had said all the groundwork had been done so it's Klopp that lead us to believe we would get our business sorted quick like.
I think you know as well as I do that's an over exaggerated version of what I mean.
Firstly, I know the window opens in June hence why I said May/June, it opens around half way through the month right?
Secondly I don't think people are stupid for suggesting we should our business earlier, but you know fine well that wasn't the beat at the time. It was doomsday predictions and hyperbole left right and centre. Not once did I say anything to someone saying 'would be nice to get people in early' because that's what I wanted too! What I did have an issue with was 'We won't buy anyone' coupled with rants about FSG which had no justification at that time.
Now, a few months down the line complaints in my eyes are much more justified but the ends don't justify the means. Just because we have not signed anyone at this stage does not make the hyperbolic rants any less so.
Also just to be clear, the rants were about not getting anyone else in, so if (and I hope when) we get some more people in, it also doesn't change people's arguments to 'I bet we don't sign anyone before the first game'.
This is why I think it's time to worry at the moment but not to panic. It is certainly still not time to post FSG are the devil posts that we we've seen since that May/June period. My position has been clear throughout, I will judge when the window is shut. Am I annoyed that we've not made more progress? Of course but I'm not about to throw my toys out of the pram over it.
