I agree, but I think you guys are just writing off everyone as a whole. We have a very different mentality when it comes to transfers. Markovic and Can were players who we bought with eyes on next year. From the beginning no one expected them to hit the ground running. Lallana has been excellent. I'm astounded how wrong I was about him. The two fullbacks have also been terrific buys.

You have a point with Loveren, but I called that from day one. Dude was a terrible buy and for an even worse price. Origi will be brilliant, but again, will be one for the future, like Lazar. Ballo has yet to play with a strike partner outside of Spurs, where we won 3-0. Studge's injury has killed any chance for his success and I will reserve judgment until Brendan plays him in the way he should to be played.

Whether you agree with the transfer strategy or not (I personally don't), most of these guys were never intended to light the league on fire from day one. Its comparing apples to oranges.
