What disappoints me is DK obviously believed it was a done deal judging by his quotes, so what went wrong after that.

Also if we really can't offer a deal attractive enough to keep players like Penn then that is a bug concern

This is pretty much exactly what I was going to write.
Better players may be out there but it's starting to really look like we can't compete anymore. Will have to wait to see who comes in but if it's bargain basement crap like it was last year then the writing will be on the wall.
Fact is Penn was Keates' signing and he wanted him to stay but couldn't keep hold of him.
And if the players that come in do seem underwhelming please nobody say 'wait till they play first' like they did last year as we really didn't need to see last years dross play to know they weren't going to be very good. They level they have played at in the past is a good indication of how good they are.
