I think a lot of people are getting a little bit carried away with the signings.
The club got in a position where nearly a full team of first team players were out of contract in the same summer and many of the remaining players were over 30.
This summer is making amends for years of recruitment foolishness. We are digging ourselves out of a hole we put ourselves in.
I cannot wait for a fresh start and it's exciting to step into the unknown, but is anyone else seeing that all these signings are the ONLY thing we could do this summer? It's not an achievement, it's competence - without the signings we would be in absolute crisis mode - I don't see that as something to celebrate. Think we need to be cautious with expectations. We have serious injuries to Eze and Ferguson. Clyne and Ward are not good right back options. Only Mitchell on the left side of defence.
I will get buried for posting this but think it's a fair reading of things, although appreciate maybe 1 or 2 more will come in. I hope Vieira and the boys hit the ground running and bring the excitement and energy back to Selhurst Park on matchdays. Just wondering if these signings simply had to be made to avoid disaster and therefore is it really that big an achievement?
