Well, having watched that I am excited about Michael Carrick. He is obviously delighted to be here and I thought he spoke very well. It was also great to hear from Kieran Scott. I was really disappointed that it didn't work out with Wilder, but reading between the lines Wilder was the cause of that.
The Woodgate appointment remains a concern, and of course, we really need some reinforcements on the pitch. There is no getting away from the fact that we failed to get key targets over the line this summer, (although I concede we tried to do a lot of business, so perhaps it was just a bridge too far for one window) and some parts of the team aren't good enough given the stated ambitions. Our midfield is awful and everyone could see that coming. Let's see what the club can do to back Carrick in January, because it needs to be sorted out.
