im actually optimistic despite what some people are saying!
i think we will have to move ruiz a little bit deeper to make way for berbatov up there. I think it would of been great to sign another CM as we are looking light there but if you think sidders and diarra can fill the defensive role in the middle, and ruiz/kasami will be there in a more attacking role we should be ok injuries permitting. The flair and creativity we lost from dembele will be more than replaced by berbatov who is a genius on the pitch and has done the business wherever he has gone. Him and petric up front could cause teams some serious problem week in, week out. Seems like Wolfsberg fans seem to think we have gotten a hold of one of their key players who got better year on year, surely cant be a bad thing. (even if he does look like bouzza!) We also have to remember we made a pretty huge profit this window, with about 21.5 mil coming in and im guessing we spent about 10 mil. over 10 mil profit and we didnt even touch our budget which jol seems to think is "healthy". I imagine we will be making some moves come january, possibly a few big ones!
Lets get behind the lads and you never know this could be a big season
optimism achieved!
