As the window has gone on, signing after signing, it's very easy to forget how this all began. As we live through it, expectations slowly increase, to the point where some aren't even that excited about Celina!
Go back to the start and think...
19x Signings
145x Premier League apps between them
225x Scottish Prem apps between them
1120x Championship apps between them
And that's all despite only 3 being over the age of 27.

 That's a horrible metaphor/analogy to have as a subject header. Gonna have to 'hide thread' unless you change it to something else. |  |

It's a myth anyway Ryorry. |  |

You follow the metaphor though, right?  | |

I don't eat frogs, no -
They're too useful in their role as slug-gobblers in the garden ... | |

The truth should never get in the way of a good metaphor!
My point is that if we'd been offered this at the start, we'd have been astounded. But the slow drip-feed of signings has left some blasé, remarkably! | |

Colchester's summer signings have made more Premiership appearances than that, so it's not the most meaningful of statistics. |  | | |

Alright, I'll let you have it, but I still don't like it.
Anyway, I think it's crabs & lobsters that it's meant to apply to - don't think many people in UK actually eat frogs! | |

Thanks to a 34 year old Charlie Daniels. That's why I added the last line to the OP! These are players coming down to go back up, not on the way down at the end of their careers. | |

Yes, fair enough, they’re doing a Freddy Sears. Let’s hope they manage the next phase, getting back to the Championship. | | | |

I disagree. There have been several signings that really are impressive and Morsy is one of them.
However, Celina in the context of only just returning from a serious heart condition is not that big a deal for me. I hope he proves me wrong but that one seems a bit of a gamble that it wouldn't have done had we signed him without that.
Now we need to get them all playing as a team and producing results. That said, the squad on paper is clearly far superior to what we had last season. |  |
