I think the club could be a little more ambitious and a lot more organised when it comes to recruitment. I remember Mehmet saying they’d been preparing for this transfer window since Christmas last year. That looks to me like a lot of hot air as things stand.
This is beginning to shape up like last season where we played Bamba in midfield and Decordova-Reid as a lone striker at Bournemouth because of our lack of squad depth. At the moment, we have lost important members of last season's squad and is anyone optimistic that the four players signed so far are an improvement on the people they were brought in to replace? Day is better than Murphy I would hope, but Smithies is seemingly on his way out as well.
