Fiar enough but why are we buying players that are taking us backwards

Look at who we've signed this year

Louis-Jean- crap and unlikely to improve
Hughes-Severely limitted. Could conceivably play a role in a promotion winning side but the idea of him in the premiership has me laughing so hard i'm in danger of falling out of my chair. And he's old enough that he's unlikely to improve

Marney, Davenport, Rehman-All young, all good, all on loan
Lisbie-Always has been crap R
Robinson-never has been
Earnie-Classy player but something of a panic buy
JJ-good signing, but is only on loan, is being played out of position most of teh time and isn't Earnies ideal type of partner
Etuhu- might still make good but temprament suggests otherwise
Colin-Time is on his side which is jjust as well

Or looking at it another way, who have we signed who is better than who we used to have? Now ok we might have struggled to hold onto Helveg and Ashton but id much rather have Svensson, Jonsson and Eddy than Hughes, Robinson and Louis-Jean
