I was delighted when Veron left us to go to Chelsea, still cant believe we got 15m for him.
Though when we missed out on Duff and Ronaldinho we signed Ronaldo a year a head of schedule to make up for it. Good thing we did aswell because the right side of mid field would have been a disaster if we hadnt.
Ranieri hasnt always bought well and his substitutions arent always great but I think that part of that is because of the pressure to succeed. He has basically a limitless cash flow to fund his team so he couldnt just sign no one in the summer. And he did buy a few too many players (Veron, Geremi, goalkeepers didnt need to be signed) and he bought a few players that arent good enough (Bridge and again Veron) but I think if Chelsea came out and said that his job was safe this season and he sold more than he bought this summer then his team selections would be more consistent and the team would have a better chance of competing for the premiership.
He needs to get rid of some of the goalkeepers especially with Cech on his way, and some midfielders and strikers sign one or two quality defenders and a right sided midfielder andhe'd be better off.
