So i'm fairly new to posting on this forum, but I thought i'd share this and see how I get shouted down or what people think. Can't shake the feeling that this summers business..Adam, I think will be a good signing. Henderson, I think is a player with good technique and potential. Downing, I think is an as on the tin purchase, he won't be Messi, but he'll be consistently good, not great, not league winning game changing, but a strong team cog who is consistent in what we bought him to do..provide with, reasonable pace and balls in the box. The concern I have is that if Suarez is missing, where is the thrust coming from? Is Andy Carroll going to deliver what we hope him to? I like him, but i'm not sure. Is having Lucas as our sole DM, and while I rate him, is this a flaw in the squad? Would we have benefitted from a Matuidi or an M'Vila to cover the defence? A nagging feeling feels it would. And while we hopefully will acquire a centre half who is dominant in the air and has pace, will a failure to do so be an achilles heel this season. Nagging feeling it will. While I like our purchases, I feel that the money from Adam and Henderson would have been better spent on an enforcer (we have good CM's in Meireles, Aquilani and Gerrard, not sure the new purchases make us better in that respect), while we have missed one since we lost Mascherano. Carroll, the jury is out, Suarez will miss some games, did or do we need another striker who we can count on. Feel we do. And of course we need a centre back. Full of optimism about the new season, but there appear to be weaknesses in our squad which concern me given we've just spent 60 million pounds.
