I share the concerns of many on here wrt the lateness of SOME of our transfer dealings in the summer. The Kromkamp deal (which didn't involve a transfer fee mmm) was sorted quickly, the other deals must be more complex, so we will have to be patient. I disagree with those who don't want big names. I for one would like to see proven quality come in. Enivitably these types of player, are big names, they cost big money. I would argue, that Rafa does want to buy these types of players, but the club hasn't got the money Despite winning the Champions league, getting to a cup final, qualifying for the later stages again this season .... Imagine if we'd lost the Olympiacos game, where would we be ? I suggest we'd have spent more money in the summer ....
