Is the signing of Emre that great? Apparently he's here for less than 5 million which coming from Inter Milan, suggests that they dont rate him that highly. We sold a striker to Blackburn who Graeme Souness passed off as "nothing special" for more than that.
Parker could be a good signing, only time will tell but the others are less than average.
Sign of mid table mediocrity at best - at worst relegation fodder (and with our injury history and so called "team spirit" we'll be lucky for the former)
