Well we certainly are if you read the countless polls of experts and other teams fans,we always seem to appear as one of the teams likely to be relegated.
The question is why are we deemed to be such a poor team,sure we escaped relegation by the skin of our teeth,however we were rarely outclassed last year once the new signings bedded in beat some top teams ,and were very unlucky against plenty of other top 10 teams,it was our form against the bottom 8 that dropped us in the ****.
Looking at our signings we have the Englands num 2 keeper,highly rated youngsters Fabio and Hoillet,add the return of Faulin,signing Diakite and a sprinking of old heads and to me the team looks fairly strong on paper.
Add a top class centre half and maybe 1 more class striker and I feel mid table should be no problem.
Is it jealously on either fans behalf, although it is quite often teams of the top 6 who have nothing to be jealous about us who tip us to go,the obvious suspects like Norwich,Fulham and Swansea fans are just twisted and bitter,so there opinion does not really count.
We have spent less on 6 or 7 players than some teams spend on 1, to me a couple of the teams coming up,Swansea,Norwich and Wigan will fight out the relegation issue.
