Aron Winter Says TFC Is “Complete”
http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/20...c-is-complete/

Agreed with you there. To recall Cathall Kelly's comments at the end of last year:
I think that he does have a finished product, except for maybe a little more depth at striker. Certainly the horrible defense has been addressed.Aron Winter’s first year is behind him. In terms of results, it was a slightly mitigated failure. Based on what he inherited, that was to be expected.
But there will be no excuse if he hasn’t got a finished product in front of him by the beginning of next year.
