I know you’re a relatively older chap, having watched us through the early 80s and such, are you just used to the hysteria these days?
I blame social media mate. There was a sense of excitement, especially when butcher and the rest signed and also gazza for obvious reasons.
Tbh if I went down the boozer and started talking about our model regarding signings, I'd be ordered to stand in the corner.
Don't remember everyone going nuts because we aren't out the starting blocks to sign players. As I proved regarding players being ready for the cl. Laudrup and Boli were signed with plenty time left, but still we got our arses felt by aek athens. In fact a poster pointed out, we were knocked out the league cup by Falkirk the same week.
Signings aren't a guarantee. Boli never worked out, Laudrup on the other hand.
