We'd have to go on an Ambramovich-on-crack type spree for me to get excited about next season.
What does this constitute? I'm not trying to be contrary, just curious to what level of spending would excite you.
For me, I'm always excited about a new season, but then I'm a paradox of optimism and masochism, so I might be alone on this.
As for what would excite me requisition wise, a top level striker would be brilliant. One of those goal hungry, smart, nippy, agile, optimistic players. A new left back of quality with both a bit of bite and a bit of attacking flair would be great. And add in a competitor for Song as a solid, strong, tall, technically adequate, defensively savvy midfielder. I know plenty of Ligue 1 players who could do that job fairly well.
To me it isn't about names or numbers, but I get the fact that it is an element for many. It creates a bit of excitement and shows ambition which many feel we're lacking right now.
