Statement signing or not, but surely we need at least 2 players in. I don't see the need to sugarcoat anything, yes the new regime has been pretty much spot on so far, but if there is no movement in this window, then this summer has been a failure. There was the panic to sell and now this. You just have to strengthen to keep the momentum going. We all know the areas that are in desperate need of upgrading. You don't want the squad to get stagnated, it needs to be pushed.
Who was it that said something like "The influx of new players is the lifeline of a club"?
I don't see that much wrong in what Shearer is saying, i can understand why some are making the conclusion that all is not well behind the scenes.
But yeah, i am still hoping for the best, let us wait until the end of the window.
