Yet we've still released a few players such as Lars Jacobsen, Andy van der Meyde and Nuno Valente. Segundo Castillo has gone back to Red-Star after a terrible spell at the club (Bar for the goal against Standard Liege).
We've been linked to many players again such as Micheal Owen, Kyle Naughton, Obinna and again Joao Moutinho has popped up. So far Owen has gone to Manchester United on a free, it looks like Spurs have got Kyle Naughton wrapped up. As for Joao Moutinho the board again are too tight arsed to invest enough money into the club for a top-international player. I haven't heard about Obinna however in a long time (Exept for my visits to the Grandoldteam forum).
Bill Kenwright has again disappointed us with the lack of transfers. It's plain to see that he does not want to relinquish control of the club we love so much, and no potential investor wants to pay huge sums of cash for no control. You can't blame them in all fairness.
It looks like Lescott could be on his way out with Manchester City bidding £15m today and again getting rejected. Perhaps the lure of £25m might be to much for our board, with the recession and all that. It will be a loss to the club, easily said, unless Moyes can bring in someone again like Lescott for the price we got him from Wolves at 3 years ago.. That I can't see happening.
But a bit of good news, we've gotten Jo back from Manchester City on a season long loan. That'll give a bit of backup at the tiny squad.
Who knows with a fit Yakubu, Saha, Arteta, Baines, Pieenar we can again challenge for 4th place and keep up with flashy cash Manchester City. As Alan Stubbs once said...
"What we've got is a resilience and a team spirit, and you can't buy that."
Who knows?
This season will be an important one for us Blues.
