Always remember the strongest part of any team is its spine. We are not great down our spine, our keeper, young with potential, current playing CB's are poor, CM waiting on Baleba to get fit and back to his best, CAM Bruno World class, CF young Sesko, lots of potential.
It was strange that the owners decided to build from the front and not start from the back.

I suppose, it doesn't really matter if you start at the front or back when all you are able to buy is mid table level players.

cm waiting for Baleba, yet we blabbed £35m on Tielemans and £50m on Santos. Bargain basement recruitment.
{Ed0666's Note - I’m gonna go on record and say Baleba will be a dud signing

Baleba had one good season and one fault poor season in comparison. A 50% success rate is not great odds for that type of money.
Who knows, he could be one of those players that ups their game once he gets the shirt on.
Time will tell. But at this rate, by the time he's fit enough to play, he will have to be superhuman to live up to what he needs to be.

I think Baleba will be a great signing, has all of the attributes to be brilliant for us. I remember reading Ed001s write up on him on here around 18 months ago and thinking there and then that I wanted him in our midfield, an average season in his development doesn't change that for me.
