Your point of view?

you'll never know how a signing will turn out,even the biggest of names may struggle at a new club.

take torres,if chels had paid 50mil for him,2/3 seasons ago,everyone would be like,'wow,what a bargain'

at the moment it don't look such a good purchase,but i'm sure he'll come good again.

any player a club sign's,you just gotta have faith in the gaffer that he will know how to get the best out of him!!!

Very happy. I would like to see a couple more, perhaps a left back and a striker.

I honestly haven't seen to much of Henderson and agree with Rushie that it's an expensive 'prospect' buy. I hope it works out.

I think that Doni is a good pick up by Liverpool he will prove to be a quality backup keeper, something Chelsea currently lacks... And has been lacking for a while. While I agree that Adam could be a good player I'm not to sure you guys have done right with Henderson and Downing, maybe Downing is a player who will flourish with a better supporting cast! But Henderson seems like a gamble for me with the money spent on him, yes he's a prospect but he seemed too inconsistent at Sunderland, though if all goes well he could be a solid player. What's all this talk about meireles leaving though?

Downing really is a great signing since we have Carroll, the price is ridiculous though. I don't want to sound like your typical delusional scouser, but I really think Downing will shine this season, especially with Andy Carroll in the box.

As for Henderson, I have no idea why we signed him. Yes, he's one for the future but I can't see him playing more than 10 league games in all honesty. People say he's a right-midfielder, he is, but chances are we'll be playing 4-3-3 this season.

Adam is a good squad addition, his passing ability is brilliant and I think he's better than Meireles, so he's an improvement.

We have taken a lot of stick for the signings, but i'd rather have Downing, Henderson and Adam (and Aquilani/Insua, back from loan) than no one.

And not a WUM in sight...

BBRM, we're trying hard to keep them busy on another article.

I'm happy and for the following reasons:

Doni as said is a good back up. Henderson, at 20, had the third highest amount of key passes in the league. If he can score a few moer then I'm sure he'll work out and he can play on the right also. To be honest I have not seen him play a lot.... just like the people who slate him!

Downing had a very very good season and has matured at Villa. He can play wide left or right and is a good crosser - LFC do not have this kind of player.

Adam did well last season and this is a big test for him but his range of passing will stretch teams and coupled with the added width that again could work well.

Statistically Downing and Adam had far far better and more productive seasons than Modric so I think that puts it into perspective. I'm not saying they're better but if Downing and Adam produce the same amount of assists and goals this season as they did last then we will finish top four.

I think Downing will be a fantastic signing for us and will bring the best out of Carroll, yes we over paid for them both but that's the way it is!

Adam I think has more creativity than Raul and cost next to nothing!

Henderson is the big gamble and one I hope pays off!

I like all the signings, even including Carroll. For me he has yet to shine. Everyone else is in the melting pot, lets wait and see. Hope your new manager does well. JimmyTheRed
