Hasn't taken long for all of our resident doom mongers to come out of the woodwork has it??
I can hear the echoes of last season already..... "we are going to plummet...." "prove you have ambition Mr Mad and spend £10M before the end of the August transfer window...." etc etc etc
So, Coppell hasn't bought a "big" name for you to boast about in the playground..... so what?
As he said on Thursday night, he prefers to do his negotiating out of the papers and that the signings will come if they are right for the club.
And I for one TOTALLY trust the guy.
As Chicken Balti Pie has said, the 2 new signings have strengthened the squad, whilst the re-signing of key players (such as Convey and Doyle) appears to have gone pretty well un-noticed by the "experts" on here.
Mensah isn't going to happen, so if that is what you are judging success or failure by, then prepare to be dissapointed.
As for more strikers, I suspect that he is looking at at least one more, but has publically stated that he is happy with what he has got; why would he say that?
Man management and motivation is why.
How good will hearing THAT from your manager make our strikers feel (all of whom are "confidence" players)?
FFS people, get a grip, enjoy the sunshine and look forward to August 19th.
