The Mail Bag

Reasons to be cheerful

OK so we haven't got any new faces, but, I'm beginning to think, this might not be as desperate or disastrous as we think.

Moyes has bought some excellent players in before: Arteta, Cahill, Lescott and Jagielka to start. He knows what he's doing and has said he won't just buy anyone who 'will do'.

Kenwright has said there are funds and that we need to be patient. I hate being patient. However, if we get the right players for the right money and they end up performing, we'll soon forget about the disastrous summer.

The young lads we have are excellent, If Steve Round and David Moyes didn't think they were good enough to play in a Premiership side then we'd be panic buying now. Remember how Moyes chose to slowly bring Rooney in the the frey.

I say, lets support DM and BK, trust that they know what they are doing and let them do their job. If they've messed it up it will be obvious in a few weeks and we'll all need some bloody good explanations, but lets leave the protests until then.

Lets start the new season with a sense of optimism, even if it's that the summer is over and we could have some amazing new youngsters to brag about.

COYB!

I reread what DM said today a few times and on a few different websites because I couldn't make up my mind on where he's at. But taking it for what he said alone and not searching for any loopholes I think i feel a little bit better about this situation.

As a whole he knows he has screwed up so far by not bringing in anyone. But does not concede that he still can't improve the team. In other news I hear Arshavin's price is cut lets swoop in and ruin the Spurs bid for what seems like League Champions.

Erm, NO, they may think they know what they are doing but the evidence is they HAVEN’T GOT A CLUE.....next....

Lewis get real ffs. The reason why Moyes & Round are saying that they have every faith in the kids, is because they have no feckin option other than to play them. Do you really think 16 and 17 year olds would be anywhere near the first team if things were not so desperate? Reasons to be cheerful, my arse.
