It's not quite Silva, Robben and Courtois but this team is bringing in players and trying to ship out the majority of the dead wood.

We're working on deals all the time (Iturbe in progress), both incoming and outgoing, and while there is a long way to go, we are moving in a new direction.

Whether it's the right one, only time will tell, but next season cannot be as bad as last was.

Does anyone else share my cautious optimism?

For me more than the transfers, I love the fact that we're getting down to wrapping things up nice and early. The coach is actually being given time to have a good look at his team and make up some plans.

The problem with getting a star player so late in the window is always that you're stuck having to throw all the old plans out the window.

I hope Pippo can do something with this unit.
