Bad Omen?

The season feels like its over after we were knocked out of europe even before the actual season begins. I can't help but think that we were sort in a similar position back in 1999, during Ruud Gullit's atrocious time here. But then again, the team we had back then were lacking in quality and talent compared to the one we have now. But with the season opener against Arsenal just three days away, our team looks to be unbalanced despite the acqusitions of some quality players, most notably Emre.

Despite all the claims linking us with Michael Owen, we still need two more strikers after letting go Bellamy and Kluivert. In another world, we wouldn't have done it but in reality, we had to. At least according to our gaffer.

Also with news that we have aborted the loan signing of Coco, we are also short in the left-back department. So, was it a good idea to sell Hughes?

Souness knows that time is running out and he needs to show what he's got this season cos' there won't be any season left for him. Not after this at least.

I just hope that we will get to bring more players perhaps not now but anytime this season to fight back into the top 6 again. *fingers crossed*
